NETA has named C&H Electric as a Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Company (QEMC). The company achieved certification by participating in NETA’s new Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Company (QEMC) and Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Worker (QEMW) programs, launched in 2024 to respond to new requirements for electrical equipment maintenance based on NFPA 70B–2023®, Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance®. The new requirements make proper electrical equipment maintenance mandatory and enforceable.
Headquartered in Waterbury, Connecticut, C&H Electric has been serving critical facilities across the state since 1967. The company focuses on environments where reliability, safety, and uptime are essential, including major healthcare systems and hospitals, manufacturing and industrial facilities, and higher education, laboratory, and research institutions.
C&H Electric joined NETA as a QEMC as part of its long-term mission to become the employer of choice for electricians in Connecticut. That mission is built on three core pillars: providing strong career advancement opportunities, long-term stability, and meaningful work that contributes to the community. By building out its electrical maintenance and testing capabilities and aligning with the leading, standards-driven organization in the industry, C&H is creating new technical career paths for its teammates while strengthening the company’s ability to deliver reliable, recurring services to its customers.
“Association with NETA and participation in the QEMC program allows us to continue growing our technical skillsets and service capabilities,” said Bill Concannon, Principal of C&H Electric. “That directly supports our people by creating long-term career opportunities, supports our customers by improving uptime and safety, and supports our communities by strengthening the reliability of critical facilities.”
C&H Electric’s current maintenance and testing services include infrared thermography, ultrasonic testing, updates to electrical one-line diagrams, arc flash hazard analysis, NFPA 70E training and consulting, and auditing and development of electrical safety programs and electrical maintenance plans. These services help customers improve safety, reduce unplanned downtime, and maintain compliance with evolving industry standards.
Recognized as a mission-critical commercial electrical contractor, C&H Electric specializes in the design, construction, and maintenance of electrical distribution systems. The company’s project and service teams work closely with facility owners, engineers, and general contractors to deliver solutions that prioritize reliability, compliance, and long-term system performance.
“NETA is proud to recognize C&H Electric as a new NETA Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Company (QEMC),” says Chasen Tedder, NETA QEMC and QEMW Committee Chair. “NETA QEMC-recognized service providers have ensured their Qualified Electrical Equipment Maintenance Workers (QEMWs) align with new NFPA 70B requirements. C&H and the other QEMC companies lead the way in meeting the growing demand for electrical power system maintenance services.”
