An Electrical Health Assessment is a per-asset survey of your electrical distribution using live methods — thermography on the current path, TEV and ultrasound on the insulation — with tiers that deepen where the evidence justifies it. That structure is exactly why the cost question has no one-number answer, and why the anatomy below is more useful than any figure would be.
The six things that set the price.
Asset count and type
The largest driver by far. Every panel, switchboard, transformer and MV unit is survey time, instrument readings, and report lines. An asset list is why a real quote can exist at all — and MV switchgear carries more weight per unit than an LV distribution board.
Methods per asset
LV boards may need thermography alone; MV switchgear needs both failure families watched — thermal and discharge. Which assets get which instruments should be visible in the quote, asset by asset.
Tier depth
A screening pass, a deeper standard assessment, or comprehensive work that extends into oil analysis, earthing and shutdown testing — each tier adds instruments, time and reporting. The tier logic, and what would justify moving up one, belongs in the proposal in writing.
Site workability
Access arrangements, escort requirements, spread-out locations, night windows to catch representative load — the same asset list costs differently across sites, and a quote that never asked about access has already guessed.
What the report must support
A maintenance to-do list, an insurer's requirement, an audit, a budget defence — deeper reporting takes longer and costs more, and the purpose changes what the scope must include.
Year one versus the years after
A programme's first year carries the baseline: full point-mapping, so every later survey reads the same points the same way. That work exists once. Subsequent years read against it — which is the programme's entire value, and the reason year one is the heaviest.
The component costs are already published.
For the thermography component, we keep a separate anatomy of what drives that price — the same per-asset logic at the single- method scale. An EHA is not "thermography plus a margin": it is the methods combined under one assessment, one severity language, and one report, which is why its quote should still decompose cleanly into assets and methods when you read it. If it does not decompose, that is information.
How the programme changes the economics.
Sold as a one-off, an assessment buys you a snapshot — useful, and ageing from the day it is taken. Sold as a programme, the same field work compounds: the baseline year maps the points, and every later year reads drift against them — the finding that no single survey can produce. We are open about selling it this way by default, and equally open about what the programme is not: it is not a discount scheme, and anyone framing multi-year commitment as "cheaper per year" is hiding the actual argument. The argument is that a history is worth more than a stack of unrelated snapshots — and the billing stays annual, with exit at any renewal, so the commitment being priced is mutual, not captive.
Reading any quote — the sixty-second test.
Whoever quotes you, ours included: find the asset list (if the quote has none, it was priced before your facility entered the conversation). Check each asset carries its methods. Find the tier and the stated trigger for deepening. Confirm the boundaries — what the screen proves and does not — appear in writing, and that anything beyond the assessment is priced separately rather than folded in. And check the report's purpose is named. Five checks, one minute, and they separate an assessment priced from your risk from a number priced from a calendar. Then get two quotes built to that standard, and compare them line by line — an exercise we can afford to recommend, which is rather the point of publishing this.
