Electrical Thermography

INSPECTIONS

Our infrared thermography to detect hidden electrical issues before they turn into expensive repairs, downtime, or dangerous failures.

What is Electrical Thermography?

Electrical thermography uses an infrared camera to detect heat generated by electrical components. Excessive heat is an early indicator of potential failures such as loose connections, overloaded circuits, or failing equipment.


By identifying these issues early, you can prevent costly repairs, reduce downtime, and protect your building and those inside.

What can Thermography detect?

Thermography helps uncover a wide range of issues that are not visible to the naked eye.

Loose or Corroded Connection

Overloaded

Circuit

Faulty Breakers & Fuses

Imbalanced Phases

Failing Electrical Components

Potential Fire Hazards

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.

FAQs

  • Do electrical systems need to be shut down during the inspection?

    In many cases, no. Infrared thermography is typically performed while electrical equipment is energized, allowing us to identify abnormal heat patterns under normal operating conditions. Safety is always our top priority.

  • Will I receive a thermal imaging report after the inspection?

    Yes. Following the inspection, you'll receive a detailed report that includes thermal images, observations, and recommendations to help you understand the condition of your electrical systems.

  • Can thermography help prevent equipment failures?

    Yes. Thermal imaging can identify overheating components and other potential issues before they develop into more serious problems, allowing corrective action to be taken proactively.

  • How often should commercial buildings schedule thermal inspections?

    Inspection frequency depends on the building, equipment, and operating conditions. Many facilities perform thermal inspections annually as part of a preventative maintenance program.

  • What types of electrical equipment can be inspected?

    Thermography can be used to inspect electrical panels, switchgear, transformers, disconnects, motor control centers, distribution equipment, and other energized electrical systems.
