Installation & Relocation
New Kiln Installation: Set up, and test new kilns, including connecting them to ventilation systems.
Kiln Moving:
Safely move existing kilns from one location to another, which often requires careful disassembly and reassembly.
Studio Design and Setup:
For larger operations, I assist with designing and setting up entire studio spaces, including the layout of kilns and other equipment.


Maintenance
Kiln Inspections: This is a crucial service that involves a multi-point inspection of the kiln's components, such as wiring, elements, relays, thermocouples, and firebrick, to identify potential issues and ensure safe operation. These can be done in-person or virtually.
Routine Maintenance: Perform preventative maintenance, such as checking and tightening electrical connections, repairing brickwork, and testing safety controls, to extend the life of the kiln and prevent costly breakdowns.
Diagnose and fix a wide range of problems, from replacing heating elements and controllers to repairing or replacing the refractory lining (firebrick).
Help identify the root cause of kiln problems, whether overfiring, underfiring, or a complete failure to heat. This can be done in-person or through phone-based or virtual consultations.

Technical Disclosure: The Kilnwright, Thomas Kilian, operates as a specialized kiln technician, not as a licensed Electrician, and is not affiliated with, nor factory-certified by, any specific kiln manufacturer. All services are performed based on independent master-level craftsmanship. Electrical work is performed strictly as "Equipment Repair and Restoration" in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and manufacturer technical specifications. My focus is on the forensic restoration of the kiln unit's internal components, and I do not perform modifications to the building's permanent electrical infrastructure.
