Electrical Thermography
Infrared thermography to detect hidden electrical faults, overloaded circuits, and potential fire hazards before they become emergencies.

Understanding Electrical Thermography
Electrical thermography is a non-invasive diagnostic method that uses infrared thermal imaging to detect heat anomalies in electrical systems — anomalies that are invisible to the naked eye but signal serious hazards. Overloaded circuits, loose connections, failing breakers, and imbalanced loads all produce excess heat before they fail, and infrared scanning captures those signatures before they become fires or outages.
For commercial and multi-family properties, an annual or biennial thermographic scan is one of the most cost-effective risk management tools available. Insurance carriers increasingly require thermography scans as a condition of coverage renewal, and many loss-prevention programs mandate regular scans on facilities with high electrical loads.
MDZ's licensed electrical contractors conduct full thermographic surveys of electrical panels, switchgear, motor control centers, and distribution boards using calibrated infrared cameras. Every scan produces a detailed thermal image library paired with temperature readings and a written report that prioritizes repairs by urgency — giving facility managers exactly what they need to act decisively.
Our Step-by-Step Process
A structured, transparent process from first contact to final delivery — no surprises.
Schedule Thermal Scan
We confirm the scope of panels and electrical equipment to be scanned, coordinate access requirements, and schedule during normal operating load conditions for accurate results.
Access Electrical Panels
Our licensed electricians safely access all panels, switchgear, and distribution equipment. Panels must be energized and under normal load for valid thermal readings.
Infrared Imaging
We systematically scan all electrical components with calibrated infrared cameras, capturing thermal images that reveal hot spots, temperature differentials, and heat anomalies.
Analysis & Hotspot Detection
Our team analyzes thermal images against NETA and IEEE standards, classifying each anomaly by temperature differential and assigning a severity level (low, medium, critical).
Detailed Report
You receive a complete report with thermal images, visible light photos, temperature readings, severity classifications, and prioritized repair recommendations for each finding.
