ELECTRICAL SERVICES
KEEP YOUR EQUIPMENT FIRST-CLASS AND COMPLIANT
ICG Services offer a range of electrical services including thermal imaging and electrical installation testing. Our electrical engineers will keep your equipment in the finest working order whilst complying with all electrical regulations.
We are a fully accredited NICEIC contractor, which means that our electrical engineering team receive regular training and assessments to ensure that they meet the highest levels of service.
The goal of every electrical inspection is to survey designated electrical equipment in order to pinpoint defective components and any potential hazardous electrical situations and provide corrective action. If unfound or untreated these thermal “hot spots” can cause- potential fire, explosion, or electrical service interruption threats.
Electrical Inspections provide a snap shot in time of the condition of your mechanical systems, motors, bearings, etc and our preventative or predictive maintenance contracts will save you money by reducing:
a. pre-mature equipment failure
b. emergency overtime
c. overnight shipment of parts
d. insurance premiums (many insurance companies give discounts for performing regular infrared inspections)
e. loss of revenue due to downtime
You can be assured ICG delivers a truly professional and comprehensive insight into the condition of your electrical equipment. For further information on our Electrical Services please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated team and we will be in touch.
thermal Imaging
This technique has evolved into one of the most valuable diagnostic tools which can be used for planned preventative maintenance on electrical installations.
Thermal Imaging is the process of using a specialist camera designed to look only for heat by way of infrared (IR) energy waves. From these ‘heat’ pictures, temperature measurements can be made and therefore any hot spots in the electrical system will show up as red on the image. Such hot spots are often invisible to the naked eye and can be due to loose electrical connections, load imbalances, corrosion and increase in impedance current.
The ‘heat’ pictures will enable the severity of the problem to be identified and by detecting such anomalies you may be able to organise corrective action to be taken before system failures occur. Used in conjunction with the BS7671 fixed wiring inspection and testing examination this service from ICG delivers the most comprehensive insight into the condition of an electrical installation.
Electrical Installation Testing
To ascertain compliance with the latest edition of BS7671 (also known as the IET Wiring Regulations) and the Electricity at Work Regulations and to verify that the installation is being properly maintained and is in a safe condition.
The Inspection and Test will be carried out in accordance with BS7671 and the IET Guidance Notes that support it. There are essentially three elements to the work - inspection, test and report.
How often should my property be inspected?
The recommended periodicity depends on the type of installation and business, for example:
5 years: Commercial premises such as schools, offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, public houses.
3 years: Industrial locations, leisure complexes
