24 Hour Infrastructure Assessment

Power Line and Substation EMF Assessment in Colorado

$1,4503 to 4 hrs on site · report within 4 days

For homes near power lines, substations, transformers, cell sites or data centers.

FieldWise EMF Consulting measures exactly how much of that infrastructure reaches inside your home, room by room, then logs your bedroom for a full 24 hours so you see what happens while you sleep. Every reading is compared to Building Biology SBM-2015 guidelines and explained in a written report with a clear action plan.

Why 24 hours

Why does a power line need a 24 hour reading?

The magnetic field from a power line depends on how much current is flowing through it, and that changes all day long. When your neighborhood comes home in the evening and turns on lights, appliances and air conditioning, the load climbs. So does the field reaching your home.

That means a reading taken at 2 pm can look completely different from one taken at 10 pm, right when you're going to bed. The 24 hour log shows the whole pattern, including the hours you're asleep.

Night matters most. Dr. Robert O. Becker showed that the body runs on its own subtle electrical signals, and his research found that strong outside fields do interfere with them. Dr. Jack Kruse points to sleep as the time the body does its deepest repair. Knowing what your bedroom looks like overnight is the clearest place to start.

Think of it like traffic. Checking a highway at 2 pm tells you very little about rush hour. A single EMF reading is that 2 pm snapshot. The 24 hour log is the full day of traffic, so you know exactly when the peak hits and how big it gets.

From a recent assessment: about 26 hours of logging in a child's bedroom. The field held a plateau through the evening, eased overnight to a morning low of 0.25 to 0.30 mG, then climbed to 0.87 mG the next afternoon. A single afternoon reading would have told a very different story.

What the research shows

What studies of power lines, substations and towers have found

Researchers have measured homes near transmission lines, transformers and cell towers for decades. These findings are why the 24 Hour Infrastructure Assessment measures over a full day, room by room.

Power lines

Homes near a big line averaged 7.1 mG, even during sleep

Adults living near a 735 kV transmission line wore meters for 24 hours. Their homes averaged 7.1 mG (6.8 mG during sleep), compared with 1.6 mG (1.1 mG during sleep) for people living far from any line. The field rose and fell with the electrical load on the line.

Fields and light

Steady fields plus low light: lower melatonin

In 142 electric utility workers, those with the most steady magnetic field exposure had lower levels of a melatonin metabolite after work. The effect was stronger in workers who also got the least light during the day, which is why light and fields are worth measuring together.

World Health Organization

Magnetic fields are classified as possibly carcinogenic

The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies power frequency magnetic fields as Group 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. The classification rests mainly on studies linking long term average fields above about 3 to 4 mG with childhood leukemia.

Power lines

Higher childhood leukemia rates near high voltage lines

A large UK study found a relative risk of 1.69 for childhood leukemia among children born within 200 m of high voltage lines, and 1.23 at 200 to 600 m. The authors noted the pattern reached farther than magnetic fields alone would explain, so the cause is still unclear.

Transformers

Apartments above a transformer measured 3 to 6 times higher

In 41 apartments across 10 buildings with indoor transformer stations, apartments directly above the transformer averaged 4 mG, while all other apartments averaged 0.6 to 1.2 mG. What sits under or beside a room matters.

Cell towers

Distance alone doesn’t predict cell tower exposure

In 354 homes within 250 m of a cell tower, the tower was the main wireless source in 64% of them. Exposure depended on window position, line of sight to the antenna and which floor the home was on, not just distance.

De Giudici P, et al. Environmental Research, 2020. Read the study

Research on EMF and health is still developing, and some findings are mixed. FieldWise reports what is measured in your space, compared to Building Biology SBM-2015 guidelines. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. That is exactly why a 24 hour measurement beats a guess. See the full research library →

What's included

Everything in the Foundational, plus the full 24 hour picture

The complete Foundational Assessment

Radio frequency, AC magnetic and electric fields, body voltage with a 9 point sleeping area sweep, dirty electricity and lighting, measured room by room. See the Foundational

$850 value

24 hour magnetic and electric field logging

The Gigahertz Solutions NFA1000 records your bedroom around the clock, so the report shows exactly when fields peak and how high they go.

Included

Dirty electricity source check

Measured with the TriField EM100 to help separate what's generated inside your home from what arrives on the utility line. That tells you which fixes are in your control.

Included

Property line readings

Measurements taken toward the nearby line, substation or transformer, showing how the field changes with distance.

Included

Written report and action plan

Room by room results interpreted against Building Biology SBM-2015, with prioritized steps starting with what matters most. Delivered within 4 days of logger pickup.

Included

Action plan call

We walk through every number together until it all makes sense. Most calls run 30 to 60 minutes.

Included

Follow up consult call

A second call after you've had time to act on the report and come back with questions.

Included

Night Load Graph

Your 24 hour log as one clear graph with your sleep hours marked, easy to share with family or your utility.

Bonus

Utility Conversation Sheet

Plain language questions to ask your utility, and what their answers mean.

Bonus

Every reading is personally reviewed. After your visit, about 3 hours goes into going through your readings room by room, interpreting them against Building Biology SBM-2015 guidelines and building a prioritized plan specific to your home.

Questions

Power line and substation questions

Can you tell if the power line near my house is reaching my bedroom?

Yes. The assessment measures the magnetic and electric fields in each room and logs your bedroom for 24 hours, so you can see exactly how much reaches the places you sleep and spend time, and when it peaks. It measures exposure. It does not diagnose health effects.

Why 24 hours instead of a single reading?

Fields from power lines and transformers rise and fall with how much electricity the neighborhood is using. A daytime reading can look very different from 10 pm, when homes nearby are running lights, appliances and air conditioning. The 24 hour log captures the full daily pattern, including the hours you are asleep.

Do I need to be home for the logging?

No. The logger is placed during the visit, usually in the main bedroom, and stays in one spot. I return the next day to collect it. You can go about your normal routine.

What can be done if readings from the power line are high?

Magnetic fields from outside lines pass through walls, so the most effective changes are usually about where you sleep and spend the most time. Your report shows where readings are lowest and lists prioritized options. FieldWise never recommends EMF protection gadgets.

Does this cover cell towers and data centers?

Yes. Radio frequency from nearby cell sites is measured room by room during the visit, and dirty electricity is measured and checked for whether it starts inside the home or arrives on the utility line. The 24 hour log itself records magnetic and electric fields.
