Breakers tripping with no obvious cause
Loose connections, failing breakers, overloaded circuits or ground faults. We test rather than simply reset.

Commercial & Industrial Electrical Services in the East Bay
Golden Valley Power & Air's electrical division serves commercial and industrial facilities across the East Bay: manufacturing plants, warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, cold storage, healthcare, schools and municipal facilities. We handle the power side of a building from the utility service entrance through switchgear, distribution, panelboards, transformers and branch circuits, plus the generators and battery systems that keep critical loads running when the utility does not.

Diagnostics
Common failures and what they mean
Equipment failing early
Voltage imbalance, undervoltage or harmonics shorten motor and compressor life. Power quality measurement identifies it.
Hot spots in panels and switchgear
Infrared scanning finds loose or corroded connections before they become arc flash events or fires.
Not enough capacity for new equipment
Load studies and service evaluations tell you what your facility can support before you buy equipment.
