Anchor Guard builds the program, scans the equipment under load, keeps the records, and verifies the work — so when a state surveyor, an insurer, or your board asks for the maintenance record, you produce it in one motion. Your electrician does the repairs.
59A-36.025(1)(c) — every licensed Florida assisted living facility must acquire the services necessary to maintain, and test the equipment and its functions of its alternate power source. The Emergency Power Plan and its records must be readily available — which the rule defines as the ability to produce them immediately, on request. AHCA surveyors cite this under tag A0200. Can you produce yours today?
The rule does not just ask you to own a generator. It asks you to prove it will work, to name the equipment and fuel your plan depends on, and to hand the paperwork over the moment somebody asks for it. That paperwork is what we build.
Rule 59A-36.025 F.A.C. requires an alternate power source maintained at the facility, onsite fuel, a written Emergency Power Plan that names the systems and equipment used and the fuel required to run them, a carbon monoxide alarm, and written policies to activate and operate the source. Paragraph (1)(c) requires the facility to acquire the services necessary to maintain and test that equipment. A deficiency here lands on a Statement of Deficiency and drives a Plan of Correction the facility has to close out — with a surveyor coming back to verify it.
Rule text and tag reference are drawn from Rule 59A-36.025 F.A.C. and AHCA's published surveyor regulation set for assisted living facilities. Requirements change — verify current rule text with AHCA before relying on any summary, including this one.
Thermography on cold equipment proves nothing — electrical anomalies only appear when current is flowing. So the survey attaches to the generator exercise you already run on a schedule. You schedule nothing extra.
Your staff or your generator vendor operates the equipment. We scan it, measure it, and produce the documented record. Anchor Guard does not operate the transfer switch or the generator, does not perform the load bank test, and does not tighten, torque, reset, or replace anything. We document condition; AHCA and the authority having jurisdiction determine compliance. Level I Thermographer, Infraspection Institute — no PE seal, and we say so up front.
Four ways in, depending on where you already are. Most facilities start at one and end at four. The EPM Program is the ongoing record that keeps you survey-ready year-round — not a one-time scramble before a visit.
One-time baseline. Generator, transfer switch, emergency distribution and the circuits your plan depends on, scanned under load and documented.
One-time. We audit the documentation you already have against NFPA 70B and your own written plan, and hand you the list of what is missing.
One-time. We write the program from scratch — asset register, condition ratings, intervals, task lists, responsibilities, and the record structure behind them.
Recurring monthly. We run the program, hold the records, keep them current between visits, and respond when a surveyor or an insurer asks for them.
NFPA 70B-2023 is an industry consensus standard and a recognized standard of care — it is not law in itself, and is enforceable only where adopted by the authority having jurisdiction. Anchor Guard builds, documents, and gap-assesses programs; it does not certify compliance, and the equipment owner retains responsibility.
Land with a baseline, walk away with the paper, and keep it current on a schedule — emergency power documentation, thermal imaging, shore-power leakage testing, and the maintenance log that ties it together.
Generator, automatic transfer switch, emergency distribution, and the circuits your plan depends on — scanned under load during your own generator exercise, then cross-checked against your written Emergency Power Plan. You get the dated record Rule 59A-36.025 F.A.C. expects you to produce on request.
We build and run the NFPA 70B–aligned maintenance program: asset register, condition ratings, intervals, task lists, and the audit trail behind them. Gap assessment first, so you know exactly where you stand.
Energized, under normal load, no covers removed, no downtime. Electrical distribution, switchgear, motors and bearings, and building-envelope moisture — heat anomalies you cannot see any other way.
Clamp-meter leakage measurement per slip and pedestal, GFPE trip verification, and a dated test record you can hand to an insurer or inspector. Measured with a leakage meter — not a thermal camera.
Every anomaly documented, graded by severity, and mapped to a repair-ready action plan — thermal and visible-light evidence side by side, with limitations and unmeasured scope disclosed in full.
Scheduled, standards-aligned inspection cycles across every site you manage, with multi-site maintenance agreements and compliance-grade documentation. SBA-certified SDVOSB.
Your live maintenance record: asset registry, condition-based intervals, log history, and exportable IR and compliance reports. Recurring cycles track each component across visits so nothing drifts silently.
Site-specific electrical safety and emergency power awareness sessions for facility staff and maintenance teams, delivered by a certified military instructor with 20 years running electrical systems in the U.S. Navy. Attendance documented and dated for your training file.
We assess and document.
Your electrician repairs.
That line isn't a limitation — it's your protection. We stay out of the repair seat, so our report is an independent record, not a sales pitch for our own fix. Anchor Guard performs inspection, diagnostics, documentation, and consulting only.
NFPA 70B-2023 Chapter 9 lists infrared thermography on all equipment at a 12-month interval — dropping to 6 months for Condition 3 equipment. Condition is driven by the highest of physical condition, criticality, and operating environment. A salt-air marina or a coastal rooftop switchboard does not sit at Condition 1.
NFPA 70B-2023 is a Standard with mandatory "shall" language, effective January 16, 2023. It is not itself a law — it is enforceable where adopted by the authority having jurisdiction, and OSHA may cite against it as an industry consensus standard. Anchor Guard is not an AHJ and does not certify compliance; we build, document, verify, and gap-assess. The equipment owner retains responsibility.
NEC 555.35(B) — where more than three receptacles supply shore power to boats, a listed leakage-current measurement device must be available and be used to determine leakage current from each boat using shore power. The listing requirement took effect January 1, 2026. Most marinas have no dated leakage record at all. Can you produce yours?
Florida ALF administrators and owners who must produce an Emergency Power Plan and its maintenance and testing records the moment a state surveyor asks.
Dockmasters and marina groups facing leakage-current documentation requirements on shore power, pedestals, and dock feeders.
Commercial and multifamily portfolios that need electrical maintenance documented to satisfy insurers, boards, and AHJs.
Municipal, county, port, and school-district facilities needing scheduled, standards-aligned inspection cycles under a set-aside-eligible vendor.
As an SBA-Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB & VOSB), Anchor Guard is eligible for veteran set-aside and sole-source contracts — and structured to deliver a documented, auditable maintenance record across every site in the award.
Anchor Guard was built on years of running electrical systems where failure wasn't an option. The same discipline goes into documenting yours — thoroughly, honestly, and on the record, including the readings we throw out. If a measurement isn't defensible, it doesn't go in your report as a finding.
Tell us about your facility and we’ll scope a baseline assessment. Serving St. Johns, Duval, Flagler, Clay, and Nassau counties — Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Fernandina, Palm Coast, and Northeast Florida.
