Don't wait for something to fail. Call Ehling Electric at (267) 935-9336 to discuss a maintenance program for your facility.
Most electrical failures in commercial facilities aren't sudden. They develop over months or years — a connection that loosens gradually, a breaker that begins to fail intermittently, a panel running hotter than it should because the load has grown past the original design. By the time the failure is visible, the damage is already done: equipment is down, production is interrupted, tenants are without power, or a repair that could have cost $400 as scheduled maintenance costs $4,000 as an emergency call on a Saturday night.
Ehling Electric provides preventive electrical maintenance and responsive service for commercial and industrial facilities throughout Bucks County and Montgomery County. We keep your systems running the way they were designed to run — and find the problems developing before they become the ones that shut you down.
Preventive Maintenance
Annual Electrical Inspections A systematic walkthrough of your facility's electrical distribution — panels, switchgear, disconnects, motor control centers, branch circuits, and receptacles — looking for the conditions that precede failures. Loose connections. Overloaded circuits. Evidence of heat, arcing, or moisture intrusion. Breakers that are past their service life. We document what we find, prioritize what needs immediate attention, and give you a clear picture of the condition of your electrical infrastructure.
Infrared Thermography Thermal imaging of electrical panels, switchgear, and motor control centers detects heat at connections and components that indicate developing problems — often months before a failure would occur. A loose lug on a 200-amp breaker generates measurable heat long before it causes a trip or a fire. Infrared scanning is the most efficient way to find these conditions without taking equipment offline, and it's the inspection method required by most commercial property insurance carriers.
Panel and Switchgear Maintenance Tightening connections, cleaning bus bars, testing breaker operation, verifying proper labeling, and checking that the as-installed panel configuration matches the panel schedule. We also assess whether your current panel configuration is still appropriate for the loads being served — facilities change over time, and panels that were correctly sized at occupancy are sometimes operating well past their design parameters years later.
Motor and Equipment Connections HVAC, refrigeration, compressors, pumps, and production equipment all have electrical connection points that require periodic inspection and tightening. Vibration loosens connections over time. We inspect motor terminations, disconnect switches, and starter connections as part of facility maintenance programs and after any major equipment service event.
Emergency Lighting and Exit Sign Testing NFPA 101 requires monthly functional tests and annual 90-minute load tests for emergency lighting systems. We perform and document both, provide the testing records required for code compliance, and replace failed batteries and lamps as part of the test cycle.
Ground Fault and Arc Fault Testing GFCI and AFCI devices have a service life and a failure mode. We test devices throughout your facility, replace those that fail or are past their expected service life, and document the results.
Responsive Service
When something fails in a commercial facility, the clock is running. Ehling Electric provides responsive service for commercial clients throughout Bucks County and Montgomery County — not a call center that dispatches whoever is available, but a direct relationship with electricians who know your facility.
Troubleshooting and Repair We diagnose and repair electrical failures in commercial facilities, including after-hours service for clients on maintenance agreements. When we've done your preventive maintenance, we already know your facility's electrical infrastructure — which means troubleshooting takes less time and the repair addresses the actual problem rather than the visible symptom.
Tenant and Common Area Service For commercial landlords and property managers, we provide electrical service for tenant spaces and common areas — responding to tenant calls, coordinating access, and maintaining documentation of work performed in each space.
Equipment and Machinery Connections New equipment, relocated equipment, and equipment that needs a dedicated circuit or a larger circuit than it currently has. We assess the electrical requirements, modify the distribution as needed, and make the connection correctly — with a permit where required and to the manufacturer's specifications.
Lighting Maintenance Lamp replacement, ballast replacement, and fixture repair for existing lighting systems — including hard-to-reach fixtures in high-bay environments that require lifts or scaffolding.
Maintenance Agreements
For facilities that want predictable electrical maintenance costs and priority response, we offer service agreements that include:
Annual facility inspection and written condition report
Annual infrared thermography of panels and switchgear
Priority scheduling for responsive service calls
Documented maintenance records for insurance and compliance purposes
Discounted labor rates for work outside the agreement scope
Maintenance agreements are structured to the specific needs of your facility — the size of your electrical system, the criticality of your operations, and the level of documentation your insurance carrier or regulatory environment requires. Call us to discuss what makes sense for your property.
Why Ongoing Maintenance Matters for Your Insurance
Commercial property and liability insurers increasingly require documented electrical maintenance as a condition of coverage — particularly infrared thermography of electrical distribution equipment. Facilities without maintenance records are exposed to coverage disputes in the event of an electrical fire or equipment failure. We provide written documentation of every maintenance visit in a format that satisfies typical insurance requirements.
Let's talk about a maintenance program for your facility. Call (267) 935-9336 or email Alex@Ehlingelectric.com. We'll ask about your facility, your current maintenance practices, and what level of coverage makes sense for your operation.
