AC magnetic fields
Wiring errors, panels, service entrances and nearby power lines. Wiring errors are common, invisible, and often fixable by an electrician in an afternoon.
CALGARY EMF INSPECTIONS & ASSESSMENTS · REMOTE CONSULTS WORLDWIDE
An EMF assessment measures the electric and magnetic fields, radiofrequency and wiring conditions in the rooms you actually use, identifies where they come from, and tells you which ones are worth doing something about. Most homes have two or three that matter and a long list that do not.
WHERE MOST PEOPLE START
That is the normal starting point, and it is a measurement problem before it is a health question. Reading about EMF online tells you nothing about your own bedroom. A meter in the hands of someone who knows what the reading means does.
The goal is not a house with zero exposure. No such house exists, and chasing one is how people spend a great deal of money on very little. The goal is knowing what you actually have, what is causing it, and what a sensible fix costs.
What an assessment coversWHAT GETS MEASURED
Sleeping areas first, because that is where duration of exposure is longest and where changes are usually cheapest to make.
Wiring errors, panels, service entrances and nearby power lines. Wiring errors are common, invisible, and often fixable by an electrician in an afternoon.
Building wiring near beds and desks. Usually the easiest category to reduce and the one most often overlooked.
Wi-Fi, cordless phones, smart meters, cell sites and the devices already in the room. Source proximity matters more than anything on the horizon.
Sometimes called dirty electricity. Measured with oscilloscope-based instruments, not a screening meter.
NOT IN CALGARY?
No. That is a medical question and it is not ours to answer. What an assessment gives you is measured exposure levels in your own home, the sources causing them, and practical options. What you do with that, medically or otherwise, is between you and your practitioner.
Usually not. The most common findings are a wiring error, a device placement, or a setting that can be changed at no cost. Shielding is occasionally the right answer and it is expensive, so it comes last, after the source has been identified.
It depends on the size of the home and how much of it you want covered. Most residential assessments run two to four hours on site. Get in touch with your address and what is prompting the question, and you will get a straight number.
No. Almost nobody does, and advice that starts there tends not to survive contact with real family life. The useful question is which devices matter, where they sit, and when they run.
Mitch Marchand, B.Sc. EE, or Riun Ashlie. Both work to the same measurement protocol and you get the same report either way.
