Professional Residential EMF Testing Checklist
This post, from our Elexana website, is so important that I felt it should be repeated here, as my #1 post. To think that buying a couple of meters or hiring some local “EMF Expert” is not an almost complete waste of money, is a mistake. No matter who you hire, this is the checklist of testings which need to be performed at your home. And, these tests need to be administered correctly.
So, you just hired someone to inspect and assess your home’s electromagnetic environment and to provide you and your family with the best required solutions to bring you some peace of mind. To accomplish this and ensure that you get a professional EMF survey of your home, here is a checklist.
Professional Residential EMF Testing Checklist:
Stray Current can enter your building via the water service, gas service, or coaxial internet service lines. It is measured in amperes and flux density. We have solutions to remedy these issues.
An assessment check and measuring of the complete grounding system in mV, amperes, and their frequencies. These two testings comprise the EGC Equipment Ground Conductor System and the Overload Lightning Protection System. Elexana has a proprietary testing we developed for this assessment. (We can also measure for the correct resistance on your grounding system and conduct a soil resistivity test with a state-of-the-art 4-point ground rod testing, upon request.) yes, whatever we find has an appropriate solution.
AC Magnetic Fields both indoors and outdoors are measured. We assess, identify, and isolate the size, shape, coupled frequency bands, velocity, and intersecting fields. We identify the source-points and propose the best solutions. Most issues can be remedied.
We can show you the AC Magnetic emissions from your appliances and other source-points such as power lines, electrical conduits, and risers. We identify wiring errors and can provide instructions to your electrician on how to fix them.
The airborne AC Electric Fields are measured in V/m. Know that sometimes powering OFF a bedroom can increase the Electric Fields flux-density in a room. This is why you need a trained certified EMRS.
DC Magnetic Fields are measured in µT with an industrial transverse probe. Geomagnetic stress can be an issue for some locations.
DC Electrostatic Fields are measured for source-point identification. (We measure this in V/m for commercial interference applications and in surface voltage for those with pace makers and/or heart conditions.) We propose a solution plan.
Epidermal Voltage is measured at the workstations and sleeping areas to help determine and remediate source-points. Much of this work is often done during an assessment.
Dirty Electricity (DE) measured on the electrical line in mV with its transient frequencies along with the fundamental frequency (which is often not 60 Hz.) Further, also measuring airborne DE is essential. (To only use a plug-in Broadband EMI Line Meter to sell wall outlet filters is just a sales tactic to ramp up commissions. We don’t recommend plug-in filters as a best solution.)
Radio Frequencies analyzed in 3-D with a spectrum analyzer in dBm, Watts, Voltage, and Amperage of both pulsed and non-pulsed emissions and RF measured in µW/m2 with Gigahertz Solutions hand-held HF59B and HF59D meters, from at least 27 MHz to 12 GHz. We can measure RF from as low as 9kHz in 3-D and determine and isolate source-points directionality with a LogPer antenna (and a HyperLog antenna, if required.) But, unlike others, we also take into account much more than just the power density levels. Reflection rate, coherence, multi-path interference, and so much more because we understand that just measuring peak levels doesn’t tell the whole story for providing the best RF solutions.
A full and final conclusive EMF assessment of all emissions entering the home from outdoors or the surrounding apartments versus what is actually produced within the home.
