Preventative Electrical Maintenance in Massachusetts and Vermont
Electrical Maintenance Services for Commercial & Industrial Facilities in compliance with NFPA70e + NFPA70b.
Electrical failures rarely come without warning signs. They come after years of deferred inspection, untorqued connections, and equipment that was never exercised or cleaned. At Comalli Group, Inc., our preventative electrical maintenance program is built to find those warning signs before they find you, through systematic testing, hands-on inspection, and detailed documentation performed by licensed technicians.
We serve facilities across Massachusetts and Vermont. We'll build a maintenance schedule around your operations and keep your systems running the way they should.
Ensure your facility is safe, compliant, and reliable. Call (413) 213-3661 or contact us online to schedule a professional electrical maintenance walkthrough.
What Our Maintenance Program Covers: A Complete Electrical Maintenance Program, Structured Around Your Facility
Our program is organized across three categories of service: work performed while your system is energized, work performed during scheduled de-energized windows, and the predictive and proactive care tasks that run through both. Every visit is documented, every finding is reported, and every recommendation is grounded in test data rather than guesswork.
Energized Services
-
True RMS Voltage & Current Testing
We capture and record true RMS voltage and current readings across your system to confirm the correct levels are present for your equipment to operate properly and reach its full service life. Deviations point to underlying issues that need attention before they cause damage.
-
Voltage Drop Testing
We measure and record voltage drop across components including circuit breakers and contact surfaces. Excessive voltage drop indicates components that are no longer performing correctly, which creates both equipment risk and safety hazards.
-
Infrared Thermographic Imaging
Using thermal imaging equipment calibrated to NFPA 70B recommendations, we identify and document elevated temperatures caused by high-resistance connections, current overload, defective breakers, and failing insulation. Infrared scanning catches developing failures that are completely invisible during a standard visual inspection, reducing the risk of brownouts, blackouts, and fire hazards.
-
Ultrasonic Testing
We measure and record ultrasonic activity above the audible range to detect corona, tracking, and arcing conditions within your electrical system. Ultrasonic testing works alongside infrared scanning to give a more complete picture of system integrity, catching failure modes that neither method would identify on its own.
-
Voltage & Current Harmonics Testing
We capture Total Harmonic Distortion readings for both voltage and current and compare them against IEEE recommendations. Harmonic contamination outside acceptable tolerance levels can damage microelectronic equipment, transformers, breakers, and motors, and can affect the accuracy of your power charges. Early identification keeps those risks in check.
-
Phase Balance Testing
We test to confirm the phases in your electrical system are properly balanced. Unbalanced phases drive power quality problems, increase total harmonic distortion, and raise operating temperatures in devices and current-carrying conductors, all of which shorten equipment life.
-
Visual & Mechanical Inspection (Energized):
With your system live, we inspect the interior and exterior of all accessible components, checking for corrosion, rust, discoloration, leaks, physical damage, grounding issues, and applicable code violations. Adjustments are made where necessary to keep performance within specified limits.
De-Energized Services
-
Insulation Resistance Testing
We measure and record insulation resistance under conditions specified by the manufacturer or NFPA 70B. Insulation values that have deteriorated below acceptable levels are a leading indicator of catastrophic failure risk, including fires and explosions. Catching them early keeps that risk off the table.
-
Winding Resistance Testing
We measure, record, and compare winding resistance values against manufacturer specifications. Deviations indicate components that are drifting out of tolerance, compromising both performance and service life before any outward sign of failure is present.
-
Contact Resistance Testing
We measure the resistance between contact surfaces within your electrical components. Poor contact surfaces drive increased voltage drop and heat buildup, which accelerates deterioration and raises the risk of brownouts, blackouts, and equipment failure.
-
Low Voltage Circuit Breaker Testing
We measure, test, record, and document findings for all applicable low voltage circuit breakers. A breaker that has never been tested under load may fail to trip when it needs to, or trip incorrectly at the wrong moment. Regular testing confirms your protective equipment will perform its intended function.
-
Ground Resistance Testing
We measure and record the resistance of conductors, connections, and grounding devices throughout your system. A grounding system that isn't performing correctly offers no protection during a fault, and the problem is rarely visible without testing.
-
Transformer Testing & Inspection
We measure, record, and monitor transformer condition against manufacturer recommendations and NFPA 70B standards. Transformer failure carries serious consequences, including fire risk and extended operational shutdown. Staying ahead of it through regular testing is significantly less costly than responding to it after the fact.
-
Motor Testing & Inspection
We measure, record, and monitor motor condition against manufacturer recommendations and NFPA 70B standards. Motors operating in demanding environments accumulate wear that trending data makes predictable. Catching a motor approaching failure gives you time to plan replacement on your terms.
-
Visual & Mechanical Inspection (De-Energized)
With components de-energized, we conduct a thorough inspection of interior and exterior conditions, including corrosion, rust, discoloration, leaks, physical damage, grounding, safety hazards, and code compliance. Adjustments are made where needed to bring performance back within specified limits.
Predictive & Proactive Care
-
Equipment Nameplate VerificationWe compare nameplate data against drawings and specifications to confirm your systems are operating as designed and your documentation accurately reflects installed equipment.
-
Cover Removal & ReplacementCovers are removed and replaced on all applicable electrical system components, allowing for complete inspection access and confirming that enclosures are properly secured after every visit.
-
Connection TorquingAll connections and terminations are torqued to applicable specifications. Loose connections cause thermal cycling damage that compounds over time and is a primary contributor to premature component failure.
-
Anchorage & Alignment Verification
We verify appropriate anchorage, required area clearances, absence of physical damage, and correct alignment across your electrical system components.
-
Component Exercising
All active components are exercised where applicable, including breakers, disconnects, and contactors. Components that sit dormant can seize or fail to operate correctly when called upon.
-
Mechanical Indicator InspectionAll mechanical indicating devices are checked for correct operation and accurate indication. Faulty indicators give your team false readings on system status, which is a risk we address directly.
-
Cleaning
De-energized equipment receives a thorough interior and exterior cleaning, including vacuuming and blowing out as required. Energized equipment receives exterior cleaning using appropriate safety procedures. Contaminated equipment runs hot and fails early.
-
LubricationAll applicable components are lubricated to maintain correct mechanical function and prevent premature wear on moving parts.
-
Minor Repairs
Minor issues are addressed on the spot during the visit, at no additional charge. Missing knockouts, loose hardware, and similar items don't wait for a follow-up call.
-
Trend Analysis & Reporting
After every visit, you receive a written report covering what was inspected, what was found, and what actions are recommended. Across visits, we compare results to identify trends that indicate a system moving toward failure, giving you the lead time to plan rather than react.
-
One-Line Drawing Updates
Electrical systems change over time, and documentation rarely keeps pace automatically. Our technicians make notations and updates to existing one-line drawings as field conditions change, keeping your records accurate.
-
Repair & Replacement, Included
When a covered component fails, we repair or replace it, including all labor and materials, with no additional charges.
-
Temporary PowerIf a failed covered component cannot be repaired or replaced within a reasonable timeframe, we provide temporary power to keep your facility operational while the permanent solution is completed.
Planned Maintenance vs. Emergency Response
The gap in cost between planned maintenance and emergency electrical repair is significant. Add the downstream costs of downtime, and the case for a structured program is clear. A well-maintained electrical system:
- Experiences fewer unplanned failures and the operational losses they create.
- Operates more safely, reducing risk for your employees and your facility.
- Carries better documentation for insurance and regulatory purposes.
- Lasts longer, pushing capital replacement decisions further out on your timeline.
- Qualifies for better treatment from insurers who recognize documented maintenance programs.
