Why It
Matters
Electrical failures cause downtime and fire risk. Aging systems and limited documentation leave facilities exposed. BuildingWatch helps reduce unplanned outages and supports insurability through proactive electrical maintenance.
A New National Standard
NFPA 70B is now a national standard for electrical preventive maintenance—making a documented program like BuildingWatch a clear necessity for safer, more reliable, and insurable facilities.

We establish an ongoing schedule tailored to facility size, critical systems, and operational windows, making NFPA 70B a seamless part of your operations.
Comprehensive Inspections & Testing
Infrared thermography, expert visual inspections (NDT), torque checks, panel cleaning, insulation & breaker testing, and load balancing keep systems safe and reliable.
Documentation that Insurers Expect

What the NFPA 70B Standard Can Help Prevent.
Unplanned downtime
Bringing production or operations to a sudden halt. Even short outages can ripple through supply chains and lead to missed deadlines or lost revenue.
Electrical fires & safety incidents
Putting both employees and equipment at risk. These events not only endanger lives but can also trigger costly regulatory issues.
Insurance complications
Can possibly lead to higher premiums or stricter terms. Carriers increasingly look for documented maintenance practices before offering favorable policies.
Costly
emergency repairs
Straining budgets with avoidable expenses. Reactive fixes nearly always cost more than scheduled service, both in money and disruption.
Sustainability
goals
Bolster sustainability efforts with continuous monitoring. Can help optimize your energy use and reduce your facility’s carbon footprint over time.

Almost any organization that relies on electrical equipment can benefit—but the impact is especially strong for:
- Manufacturing companies where uptime and safety directly affect profitability.
- Commercial property managers that need predictable budgets and tenant confidence.
- Healthcare and institutional facilities where equipment reliability is critical.
- Municipal and industrial facilities where downtime or accidents can disrupt essential services.
For these groups, implementing NFPA 70B isn’t just about conforming to standards, it’s about protecting people, equipment, and profits.
