Electrical

In electrical systems, an infrared scan will detect exceptions that are usually caused by

loose or deteriorated connections
short circuits
overloads
load imbalances
faulty, mismatched or improperly installed components

Electrical equipment failure is almost always accompanied by increased heat due to an increase in resistance. Thermaview’s scanning process can identify hot spots, enabling corrective action and the prevention of costly downtime resulting from an electrical failure.

The cost of infrared scanning varies with the amount of time required to perform a comprehensive review of all electrical panels at the facility. Our scanning service includes

an initial consultation.
a fully documented report containing infrared images of potential problems. Recommended action to correct detected anomalies is also included in the report.

The scan is normally completed within one day and must be conducted while equipment is under load, meaning no operational downtime. Infrared scans allow you to

schedule maintenance efficiently
prevent unplanned downtime
reduce the risk of catastrophic failure
reduce the risk of business interruption
reduce the risk of fire

Thermaview employs technicians that are trained in capturing and interpreting infrared images. We also have a fully qualified electrical contractor who ensures that the scan is conducted in a safe and efficient manner and according to the latest governing safety codes.
