Infrared inspections

Infrared electrical inspections find what a walkthrough can’t

Our infrared electrical inspections of energized equipment identify thermal anomalies from poor connections, overloaded circuits and failing components before they escalate into safety incidents or equipment failure.

Most electrical failures start as heat

A single electrical failure can mean days of lost production, emergency repair costs, and a compliance gap you didn't know you had. NFPA 70B now requires annual infrared inspections because the risk of not looking is too high.

how it works

Your equipment stays running and your team stays informed

Our team of experienced, certified thermographers handles the process so your operations stay running.

Scope & schedule

We start with a conversation about your facility size and equipment inventory. Quotes are based on square footage or asset list. No shutdown required.

On-site thermographic survey

Our certified thermographers perform comprehensive infrared scans of your switchgear, MCCs, transformers, and distribution panels — documenting every piece of equipment with detailed thermal images, including a full overall reference image for all equipment. 

Analysis & prioritization

Findings are reviewed and ranked by severity so your team knows exactly what needs immediate attention and what can be scheduled.

Report delivery

You receive a detailed report with equipment data, reference images, temperature data, severity rankings and recommended corrective actions ready for your compliance records.
