In today’s energy-conscious world, businesses can no longer afford to overlook how their power is used. Rising electricity costs, sustainability targets, and the growing importance of system reliability mean that understanding your site’s electrical behaviour is essential. That’s where a temporary power monitoring survey comes in.
At Cetronic Power Solutions, we provide professional power monitoring surveys designed to give businesses the insights they need to cut costs, improve efficiency, and prevent downtime—all without a permanent installation.
What Is a Power Monitoring Survey?
A power monitoring survey is a short-term installation of advanced monitoring equipment on your site’s electrical system.
- Monitoring means tracking how your site uses electricity, capturing real-time data on load profiles, usage peaks, harmonics, and power quality.
- Survey means analysing this data to produce a comprehensive report with actionable recommendations.
The result is a clear picture of where your energy is being consumed, wasted, or putting your operations at risk.
Why Might You Need One?
There are several common reasons businesses choose to carry out a temporary power monitoring survey:
- Unexplained High Energy Bills
If your electricity costs don’t match your expectations, a survey can uncover hidden inefficiencies or equipment drawing more power than necessary.
- System Reliability Concerns
Power quality issues such as phase imbalance or harmonics can cause equipment to fail or malfunction. Monitoring identifies these risks before they lead to downtime.
- Expansions or Site Changes
Planning new machinery, IT infrastructure, or an upgrade to your site’s power system? A survey helps you confirm whether your existing capacity is sufficient.
- Sustainability and Compliance
Many businesses have net zero or carbon reduction goals. Power monitoring highlights opportunities for cutting waste and meeting ESG targets.
- Avoiding Unplanned Downtime
Unexpected outages are costly. Monitoring your electrical system in advance reduces this risk by catching anomalies early.
How Does the Process Work?
At Cetronic, we make the process straightforward:
- Initial Consultation – We assess your site requirements and identify the right monitoring points.

How Long Should You Monitor?
The length of a monitoring survey depends on the nature of your operations:
- Short cycles (e.g., office buildings) may only require a few days of monitoring.
- Complex or variable loads (e.g., manufacturing, data centres) benefit from several weeks of monitoring to capture seasonal or operational fluctuations.
What Are the Benefits?
A temporary power monitoring survey provides measurable returns:
- Lower Energy Bills – Identify wasted energy and cut costs.
- Improved Reliability – Spot power quality issues before they cause downtime.
- Future-Proofing – Plan confidently for site expansions or new equipment.
- Sustainability Gains – Reduce carbon footprint and meet regulatory standards.
