Infrared Thermography (IR) Inspections

High‑quality thermal imaging performed by a Level II Certified Thermographer to support electrical safety, reliability, and NFPA 70B maintenance programs.

Infrared inspections help identify abnormal heating, loose connections, overloads, and equipment degradation before they lead to failures. Thermal imaging is a critical component of condition‑based maintenance and supports safer, more reliable electrical systems.

Why Infrared Inspections Matter

Electrical equipment can develop issues long before they are visible or audible. Infrared thermography allows early detection of:

  • Loose or deteriorated terminations
  • Overloaded circuits
  • Unbalanced phases
  • Failing breakers or disconnects
  • Transformer hot spots
  • Abnormal heating in switchgear, MCCs, and panelboards

Early detection helps reduce unplanned downtime, improve equipment reliability, and support maintenance planning.

NFPA 70B‑Aligned Maintenance Support

Infrared inspections are a recommended component of NFPA 70B’s condition‑based maintenance approach. Our inspections help organizations:

  • Prioritize maintenance actions
  • Document equipment condition
  • Identify thermal anomalies
  • Support long‑term asset management
  • Strengthen electrical safety programs

All inspections follow industry‑recognized thermography practices and are performed by a Level II Certified Thermographer.
