Long Island Marina & Pool Safety Testing 

Licensed Electricians in Suffolk & Nassau Counties 

There is nothing more enjoyable during a scorching New York summer than being able to be refreshed by all the sports and activities offered in surrounding bodies of water on Long Island, from open marinas to private swimming pools. However, these times of fun and relaxation can quickly become catastrophic if electrical wiring and appliances are not properly grounded. Not only can expensive boats and marine equipment be damaged by stray currents, but escaping current flows can cause severe injuries, or even lead to fatalities from electric shock drowning. To avoid these terrible incidents, it is always essential to schedule regular Long Island marina and pool safety testing with our dedicated technicians at JFF ELECTRIC INC.

The Importance of Regularly Scheduled Marina Inspections 

Because marinas are such large areas that are required to supply service to an extensive number of boats and other water vehicles, having powerfully working ground fault circuit protection, through appliances known as GFCIs, is absolutely essential. The amount of amperage utilized by the entire marina on a daily basis is enormous, which is why owners must schedule dedicated tests by qualified electricians on a regular basis. Even the highest quality GFCIs installed according to industrial standards can eventually lose their effectiveness, at which point it is critical to have replacements installed by our skilled electricians. 

Moreover, if there has been any inclement weather or storm activity, this makes GFCIs even more prone to fail. Following rough conditions, it is important to schedule dedicated testing to make sure that any marine applications are safe for people to use without fear of electrocution. With our thorough examinations to ensure that all dock wiring and equipment are properly maintained and that your ground fault detection system is working correctly, we can forestall any disastrous accidents from occurring. 

Thorough Pool Electrical Testing

During the hot and sticky summers we often experience in New York, there is nothing better than jumping into a refreshing pool. Relaxing with family and friends is a great way to escape from our hectic lives, which is why pool installations have become increasingly popular on Long Island. However, all of this fun can come to an end if a tragic accident occurs on account of electrical shock, a high risk accompanying any places where water is located near wiring for lighting equipment, heating appliances, filtering devices, and other accompanying pool systems. It is crucial to have qualified electrical contractors examine your pool from time to time to prevent such disasters from occurring.

Our knowledgeable experts will carefully examine and test any components that could lead to dangerous electrocution if not working properly, including:

  • Grounding and bonding systems

  • Underwater lighting

  • Electrical filtration systems

  • Temperature controls

  • Overhead lines and nearby wiring

  • Ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs)
