We can help with all of your ATS needs, like temporary installs!
Having reliable backup power in the event of an electrical or other building emergency is crucial to any business. Should your facility lose power unexpectedly, you want the peace of mind that your emergency electrical systems are going to operate properly and provide dependable backup power.
One of the best ways to ensure that your system is functioning reliably is to perform annual maintenance and testing of your electrical automatic transfer switches. Preventive services on your automatic transfer switches will provide you and your company with the confidence that, during an unplanned outage, your system will transfer from utility power to your backup generator power without skipping a beat.
Whether automatically or manually transferred, these switches are complex pieces of equipment that require regular maintenance to ensure all parts are operating as intended and that the switch will make a smooth transition to emergency power in the event of an outage.
Automatic transfer switches are pieces of equipment that can go years without experiencing a real-life blackout event, as many buildings can go for long periods
Infra-Red Building & Power Service Inc. provides full-service NETA maintenance and testing services for a wide range of automatic and manual transfer switches, including performing full transfer tests and blackout simulations. We also offer switch replacements and retrofits in the event of equipment failures.
We also have a large in-house stock of switches designated for temporary installation in the event of a failed switch. If your switch fails and it cannot be rectified on site, our Infra-Red technicians can respond around the clock with a temporary switch that can be installed until a permanent replacement can be sourced.
