For decades, Hunt Electric has helped facility owners extend the life of their electrical systems, reduce downtime, and improve safety through proactive maintenance strategies. Now, as an update to NFPA 70B has shifted electrical maintenance from a best practice to a mandatory standard, Hunt Electric is using Condoit to support facility owners in staying ahead of these new requirements.
Condoit is a first-of-its-kind electrical system management tool that gives our clients additional control and insight into the health of their electrical system. Using a standardized, accessible, and easily updated collection of digital records means no more guesswork by future repair crews, no more being caught off guard by an outage that could have been prevented by intelligently timed maintenance, and no more digging through old paper records trying to recreate crucial knowledge that walked out the door when an employee retired.
Hunt Electric is the sole provider of Condoit in Utah. As we have integrated it into existing facilities and new construction, our clients are discovering these benefits:
1. Information is always up-to-date, standardized, and easily accessible
As Hunt helps facility owners modernize their electrical management system with Condoit, owners gain a dynamic, interactive one-line diagram that stays up to date with every change. Crucially, having up-to-date one-line diagrams addresses an important requirement of the current NFPA 70B code, which is integrated directly into the platform.
The record can be updated from a phone in the field up to five times faster than CAD or other error-prone paper methods. It can then be accessed from the field any time a repair or other electrical work is needed—no matter who is doing the work.
Our Service Division team members love that records accessible through the app are a wealth of information including photos, manufacturer information, service dates, and other key details. Every piece of equipment has a QR code that technicians can scan to jump straight to the relevant information for that component.
2. Save money and reduce downtime with predictive maintenance
Hunt has always used preventative maintenance to help our partners save significant time and money over the lifespan of their buildings. Using Condoit makes that easier by tracking installation dates, expected lifespans of equipment, and other information to send owners notifications when preventative maintenance is recommended.
We know using a predictive rather than reactive model of service cuts down on unexpected downtime and can save 30-40% on maintenance costs. Having easily accessible, up-to-date information also speeds up the troubleshooting process for our service team if something does go wrong.
3. Accelerated testing readiness and compliance
When specialized studies are required for insurance purposes, compliance, or safety planning, the new records management system makes the process faster and easier. Whether our team is completing an Arc Flash Risk Assessment, Infrared (IR) Scan, or Short Circuit Study for your facility, standardized data helps us complete those studies with a higher level of efficiency and accuracy.
4. Real-time collaboration
Through Condoit, clients can securely share diagrams, reports, and electrical data internally and with partners like Hunt Electric. The platform always lets you see who accessed what data and when. We know from experience that when everyone is aligned and working with the most current information, it prevents costly errors.
