Q&A

What does an electrical inspection from Decatur Industrial Electric involve for my industrial facility?

Our industrial electrical inspection is a comprehensive assessment designed to prevent costly downtime. We go beyond basic checks to evaluate the condition of critical assets like motors, drives, and switchgear. Using condition monitoring techniques, we identify potential failures in AC/DC motors, VFDs, and other equipment before they impact your production line. The inspection provides a detailed report with prioritized recommendations for repair, remanufacturing, or replacement, helping you plan maintenance effectively. As a top Siemens distributor, we can also ensure your Siemens-specific equipment is operating to specification.

My facility in Decatur is experiencing electrical issues that might be from rodent damage or attic wiring problems. Can you help?

Absolutely. Rodent-damaged wiring and attic short circuits are common local issues that pose serious fire and operational risks, especially in older industrial buildings and warehouses. Our team is experienced in diagnosing these specific problems within complex industrial environments. We can safely inspect hard-to-reach areas, assess the damage to conduit and insulation, and provide a durable repair or rewiring solution that meets industrial safety codes. Addressing this promptly protects your other electro-mechanical assets and prevents unplanned production stops.

You mention asset management and remanufacturing. How do these services work with an electrical inspection?

Our services are integrated to maximize your equipment's lifespan and reliability. An inspection acts as the first step in our asset management program, identifying which motors, gear reducers, or pumps are underperforming or at risk. Instead of recommending immediate costly replacements, we often propose remanufacturing the unit in our on-site machine shop. This process restores the equipment to like-new, reliable condition at a fraction of the cost, with a warranty. This approach, informed by our inspection data, is a core part of our strategy to minimize downtime and manage your critical production assets effectively.
