Electrical equipment failures account for millions of dollars in damage and lost business every year. As this country’s electrical infrastructure continues to age, this problem is only going to worsen unless active steps are taken to counter the trend. Ironically, more than two-thirds of electrical system failures can be prevented by a routine preventive maintenance 

program. The failure rate of electrical equipment is three times higher for components that are not part of a scheduled preventive maintenance program as compared with those that are. In addition, a planned preventative maintenance program allows the equipment owner to schedule the system outage at a time of their choosing rather than having to correct major problems resulting from an always untimely failure. 

At Cates’ Electric Corp, we know that unscheduled downtime costs money and loss of production. To minimize and eliminate costly breakdowns, we provide our customers with recommended practices and frequencies that form the core of a regularly scheduled electrical preventive maintenance program. All work associated with electric power systems and equipment is performed in accordance with accepted industry safety standards and work practices.
