Newman Electric’s technicians are able to provide fast and accurate detection of potential electrical hazards and failures

This proactive approach allows you and your business to reduce business interruption costs, extend the life of your electrical equipment and minimize life/safety risks.

Our highly-trained experienced technicians are certified electricians, certified in Infrared Thermographic Imaging and ultrasonic testing, they also have an in-depth knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code. These certifications and related training are valuable in diagnosing any anomalies that are encountered during routine electrical maintenance and testing.

How it Works

The Newman Electric Electrical Testing process starts with an introductory meeting, followed by an electrical equipment inventory to determine the cost of the testing. Then, our electricians will review options and develop solutions that meet both your business needs and your budget. We’ll present a Testing Service solution for your approval, perform the testing, reveal our findings, recommend repairs, and then move forward based on the test results.

Safety is a key component to our success – Our technicians wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) required under the electrical safety code as listed under CSA Z462.
