Hunt Electric Becomes a TEGG Service Contractor

Salt Lake-based Hunt Electric announced that is now offering TEGG Preventive Maintenance Programs for its electrical system clients. Hunt Electric is the exclusive provider of TEGG Services for the state of Utah.

TEGG Service is a unique, cost-effective, preventative maintenance and testing service offered only by authorized TEGG Service Contractors who have met the very high standards of technical skills and customer service put forth by the TEGG Corporation, in Pittsburg, Penn.

In today’s competitive business environment, facility up time is critical to business success. Any business can suffer financially from poor electrical maintenance. Through preventative and predictive testing, Hunt can provide fast, accurate and reliable detection of potential failures and hazards in a building’s electrical system. This proactive approach allows clients to reduce business interruption costs, extend the life of your equipment, and minimize both utility costs and life/safety risks.

The TEGG Service maintains and protects electrical distribution systems through highly advanced inspection techniques such as: Infrared Thermography, Ultrasonic Testing, De-Energized Services, Voltage and Current Diagnostics, Power Quality Monitoring, Harmonic Analysis, and Electronic Documentation.

Infrared Thermography uses state-of-the art instrumentation to measure, identify and document temperatures that exceed NFPA Standard 70B recommendations such as high resistance electrical connections, current overloads, defective circuit breakers, or defective insulator conditions. As the Infrared analysis does a great job detecting heat related electrical component problems, the highly sensitive ultrasonic instrument detects the high-frequency noise produced by electrical discharges that are often the precursors to component failure. Voltage, current and power quality diagnostics and repairs can significantly improve equipment performance and longevity.
