Massachusetts Thermal Imaging

Infrared electrical inspections are a safe, fast, and non-invasive way to assess your electrical system. With no physical contact required, these inspections can be performed at any time of day without disturbing occupants or interrupting your home's or business's electrical supply.

Nearly everything that conducts electricity will overheat before it ultimately fails. Implementing cost-effective power management is crucial for maintaining the reliability of your home's or business's electrical system and reducing the risk of fire hazards."

A poor connection between electrical components can cause resistance, resulting in a noticeable temperature increase compared to similar connections under the same load. Thermal scanning enables me to quickly detect and pinpoint these hot spots, helping to address potential issues before they escalate.

Electrical issues often go unnoticed during a standard visual inspection. Infrared technology is essential for accurately identifying overheating components. Using my advanced infrared camera, I can quickly detect overloaded or undersized circuits, faulty circuit breakers, overheating branch wiring, defective wall switches and outlets, and loose or overheating connections — especially in aluminum wiring — before they lead to serious problems.

I will conduct a safe and thorough infrared scan of all electrical equipment in and around your home or business, identifying thermal patterns that may indicate potential overheating. While some electrical connections naturally generate heat, infrared imaging can pinpoint abnormal temperature increases that could pose a fire hazard. Any critical issues will be promptly reported for your attention.

After the inspection, I will provide a detailed infrared electrical report, complete with side-by-side thermal and digital images for easy comparison. The report will include precise temperature measurements and highlight the severity of any detected issues. Additionally, I will offer professional recommendations for addressing any hazardous conditions found.

Undetected electrical issues in your home can lead to dangerous fires and system failures. To ensure the safety of your family, I recommend having your entire electrical system thermally scanned once a year.

The residential electrical panel shown below appears normal, but the infrared image on the right reveals three hot spots. Only a skilled thermographer can accurately assess these temperatures and determine that they are within the normal range for AFCI and GFCI breakers.

 

This infrared scan identifies a potential fire hazard.

This hot spot remained hidden until my infrared camera detected the anomaly.

Allow me to guide you through your home or commercial building as my infrared camera quickly uncovers hidden electrical issues — often within minutes of my arrival. Call me today.
