Commercial Electrician for Facility Managers
A single point of contact for the electrical side of your building: NFPA 70B maintenance programs, infrared scans, switchgear and panel service, emergency lighting tests and the documentation that goes with them.
Facility managers of office, medical and institutional buildings are measured on uptime, safety records and budget. The electrical system touches all three, and most of its failures are preventable with a maintenance program that actually runs. No Shorts Electric builds and runs those programs for buildings across Nassau and western Suffolk.
Since the 2023 edition, NFPA 70B is a standard rather than a recommendation, and it expects a documented electrical maintenance program with inspection intervals tied to the condition of the equipment. Insurers increasingly ask for the same thing. We set the program up, carry it out, and hand you the records.
What the program covers
- Scheduled inspection of panels, disconnects, switchgear and transfer equipment, with torque checks and cleaning where the manufacturer calls for it.
- Annual infrared thermal imaging of distribution equipment under load, with a report that ranks findings by temperature rise and recommends repairs in priority order.
- Monthly and annual emergency and exit lighting tests, logged for the fire marshal and your insurer.
- Generator and transfer switch testing coordinated with your generator service provider, or handled by us.
- Repairs found during maintenance quoted separately, so the program fee stays predictable.
How we work inside an occupied building
We schedule around tenants and patients, badge in the way your security requires, and notify you before any planned shutdown. A named account contact handles scheduling and reporting, and every visit ends with a short written summary and photos. Nothing is turned off without your sign-off.
Questions managers ask
Can you work after hours?
Our scheduled window is 7 AM to 8 PM, seven days a week, which covers early mornings and evenings in most buildings. Planned shutdowns are scheduled for the quietest part of that window.
Do you provide the documentation an insurer asks for?
Yes. Inspection records, infrared reports, emergency lighting logs and repair history are delivered after each visit and kept on file.
What if the maintenance visit finds a problem?
We photograph it, explain it, and quote the repair separately. Urgent safety items are flagged the same day.
