Stop buying downtime at full price

Every failure you've paid for announced itself first

• The bearing ran a few degrees warm for months before it seized
• The loose lug showed hot on thermal long before it burned
• The winding's insulation read lower every quarter before the short
• The motor current crept up as the impeller wore

None of it shows up in a walkthrough. All of it shows up on instruments, read on a schedule and trended. The only question is whether anyone was measuring — and that is the entire difference between a line item and a line down.

Do the math on your own outage

Not our numbers — yours. Type what actually happened last time:

What the agreement includes

1. Scheduled visits — monthly or quarterly, a defined route through the equipment that matters.
2. A written program — tasks, intervals, pass/fail numbers. Documented so your team can run it.
3. Baselines and trending — vibration, thermal, insulation, recorded every visit and compared.
4. Fluid and filtration management — by the numbers, not by feel.
5. A spare-parts shortlist — what is worth shelving, driven by criticality.
6. Priority response — the front of the queue, at the agreement rate, when something does fail.

The rate, plainly

Four-hour minimum either way. Everything is on the pricing page — we publish rates because hidden pricing is how this trade earned its reputation.

How it starts — deliberately small

1. A phone call. Fifteen minutes. You tell us the machine whose failure hurts most; we tell you exactly what we would measure on it and how often.
2. One visit, one machine. We baseline it — thermal, vibration, insulation — and hand you the readings in writing, with the revisit interval.
3. Your call. Expand it into a route, or keep the write-up and run it yourself. Either way you are ahead of where you are today.

The questions everyone asks

We already have an in-house maintenance team.

Good — keep them. We support teams, we do not replace them. Most agreements cover the depth work a stretched crew never gets to: baselines, trending, the written program, and extra hands at shutdowns. Your team knows the plant; we bring instruments and hours.

Are we locked into a contract?

The written program, the baselines and every reading we take are yours to keep. If you stop the agreement, you keep all of it and your team can run it. We keep customers by being worth keeping, not by making leaving painful.

Our plant is probably too small for this.

The starter is one machine. If you have one motor whose failure would hurt, you are big enough. Plenty of agreements are a half-day visit each quarter.

Why is the agreement rate $75/hour cheaper? What's the catch?

No catch — it is what familiarity is worth. With baselines on file we skip the two hours of learning your plant that every cold callout starts with, so the work costs us less and we price it that way. The gap is published, along with every other rate.

What if you inspect everything and find nothing wrong?

Then you bought proof, and the baseline that makes the next reading meaningful. A trend line needs a starting point either way — 'all readings in spec, documented' is what a good week looks like.
