For acceptance and maintenance testing firms
Electrical testing software that knows what every customer has coming due
GearDue is a test-records app for small NETA-style electrical testing firms that tracks, customer by customer, when each switchgear lineup, breaker and transformer is next due, what every past test found, and which deficiencies nobody has fixed yet.
14 days free, no card. Then from $29 a month for the firm.

Next due = last test + the item's interval, set from its condition.
The calls your office gets
Three questions customers ask every testing firm
“When is our switchgear due?”
Today: open that customer's spreadsheet, find the last report date for each lineup, add the interval in your head.
With GearDue: filter the apparatus list to that customer. Every item shows its next due date, worked out from the last test plus its interval.
“What's still open from last year's report?”
Today: page through a 200-page PDF for the deficiency section, then ask around whether anyone quoted or repaired them.
With GearDue: every finding carries a status (open, quoted, repaired, closed by the customer) until someone closes it.
“Is TX-2 getting worse?”
Today: dig out three years of reports and line up the insulation resistance and turns ratio readings by hand.
With GearDue: open the transformer. Its test history lists every result, newest first, with the readings and a link to the data file.
NFPA 70B maintenance intervals
Condition decides the interval; the interval decides the date
Since NFPA 70B became an enforceable standard in 2023, facilities ask exactly what is due and when. Rate each item, set its interval, and the next test date follows from the last one.
- Good
- 36 mo
- Fair
- 12 mo
- Poor
- 6 mo
Example intervals. You set each item's own from 70B and ANSI/NETA MTS.
What it keeps
Electrical preventive maintenance records across every customer
Apparatus lists per customer and site
Switchgear, switchboards, breakers, transformers, transfer switches, relays, cables, MCCs and batteries, with nameplate data, condition and test interval. Bring in the spreadsheet you already keep from CSV.
NFPA 70B maintenance intervals and due dates
Rate each item good, fair or poor and set its test interval in months. GearDue computes the next due date from the last test date plus the interval, and lists what is overdue or due in the next 90 days.
Test results with history
Log visual and mechanical, insulation resistance, contact resistance, turns ratio, power factor, breaker timing, primary injection, relay, IR scan and oil sample results against each job, with readings and a link to the test set's data file.
Deficiencies that stay open until they're closed
Each finding has a severity (advisory, repair needed, immediate hazard) and a status. A failed test opens one automatically. One list shows every open deficiency across customers, ready to export for quoting.
Jobs, crews and review
Plan acceptance, maintenance, thermography and emergency jobs, assign field techs, and let them log results from a phone or tablet in the electrical room. On the Crew plan a Project Lead role reviews results before the report goes out.
Customer portal on the Firm plan
Give each customer's facility manager a read-only login: their own gear, due dates, test history, report links and open deficiencies. They can close a finding their own electricians fixed, with a note.
Getting started
Your first customer, start to finish
- 1
Add a customer and import their gear
Paste the apparatus sheet: customer, site, designation, type, nameplate, condition, interval and the last test date. Customers and sites are created as they appear.
- 2
Set intervals by condition
Good gear might go 36 months between tests, fair 12, poor 6. Change an item's interval and its next due date moves with it.
- 3
Run the job
Create the job, assign the lead and techs, and log results and deficiencies on site against that site's apparatus.
- 4
Close the loop
Review the results, attach the report link, and work the deficiency list until every item is repaired or closed.

Before you import
NFPA 70B, NETA reports, and who sees what
- 01
Who is GearDue built for?
Independent acceptance and maintenance testing firms of 3 to 40 people, and electrical contractors with a testing division, who test gear for many customers. It skips the per-seat desktop licenses and USB keys of the big test-data packages.
- 02
Does GearDue help with NFPA 70B compliance?
It keeps the records 70B asks a facility to have: an equipment list, a condition rating per item, a maintenance interval, test results and open deficiencies. You set each interval from the condition you assess, using 70B and ANSI/NETA MTS as your guide; GearDue doesn't pick intervals for you or certify compliance.
- 03
How are NFPA 70B maintenance intervals handled?
Each item has a condition (good, fair or poor) and an interval in months. The next due date is the last test date plus that interval. When a re-rating changes the interval, the due date updates on the spot.
- 04
Our test sets already write the NETA report. Where does GearDue fit?
Keep producing the report the way you do now. GearDue keeps the summary that matters between reports: which items were tested, pass, fail or investigate, the key readings, and a link to the full report and data files.
- 05
A plant's maintenance department asked about it. Is it for them?
Probably not. It's built for the contractor side of electrical preventive maintenance: one firm, many customers, many sites. A plant's own team is better served by a CMMS with work orders and parts; their facility manager can still get a read-only GearDue login from you.
- 06
What does a field tech see in the electrical room?
Only the jobs they're assigned to and the gear at those sites, on a phone or tablet. They log results and findings and correct nameplate data; they can't move intervals or mark their own results reviewed.
- 07
How do we get years of apparatus spreadsheets in?
Save each one as CSV with columns like Customer, Site, Designation, Type, Manufacturer, Voltage, Rating, Condition, Interval and Last tested, and paste or upload it. Importing the same sheet twice doesn't add duplicates.
