Basic Infrared Service

.: “ An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure “

The carrying out of electrical inspections often misses problems, allowing for whatever problem that exists to get worse. Thermal imaging gets the job done right the first time by isolating exactly where the problems spots exist, and do so in much less time. The non-contact nature of infrared technology also means that the electrical systems can be inspected without the need to de-energize circuits or shutdown production lines. Using infrared technology can help to prevent electrical fires, explosions, injury (to both contractor and employee), systems and component damage, avoid down-times and lost income while benefiting from insurance policies that recognize and favor the use of Infrared electrical inspections.

.: Safety

Thermal/Infrared Imaging is a non-contact technology used to help identify potential electrical, mechanical, or process problems from a safe distance. This means you can scan moving, elevated and see high temperature surfaces without needing to get too close.

Our Technicians and advisors are highly trained qualified electrical workers with over 25 years of on the job use of the newest and best personal protective equipment PPE on the market.

.: Productivity

Whether you work in an industrial, residence or commercial facility, you can quickly scan large surface areas for temperature differences that often indicate that a problem exists or a failure could be imminent.

Our Technicians and advisors are experts in their field and have the knowledge to make correct decisions based on what they find.

Safely, productively, efficiently and professional services
