Call 664-1555High voltage testing
Your HV system needs testing every year. We are authorised to do it.
New systems need acceptance testing; existing systems need maintenance testing. In Trinidad and Tobago that testing must be done by an Electrical Engineer authorised by the Government Electrical Inspectorate. BELEC's in-house Registered Engineer is.
