Thermal Imaging Inspections
Identify hot spots and early faults before they cause downtime
Live switchgear and distribution scanning
Infrared scanning of distribution boards, switchgear, isolators, and control panels to identify abnormal heat.
Hot spot detection and prioritisation
We highlight likely causes such as high resistance connections, overloads, imbalance, or failing components, and grade urgency. Heat is a common indicator of developing electrical issues.
Clear reporting for maintenance teams
You receive a practical report with thermograms, photos, location references, and recommended next actions.
Remedials and re-checks
If faults are identified, we can scope remedial work and re-check after repairs to confirm temperatures have normalised.
See problems early, fix them on your terms.
Thermal imaging condition monitoring for electrical systems
Electrical faults often develop quietly. Loose terminations, overloaded circuits, and worn components can create heat build-up long before failure. Thermal imaging helps you identify these warning signs while equipment is operating, so you can plan remedials and reduce the risk of downtime or fire-related incidents.
For many organisations, a thermographic survey is carried out alongside planned maintenance and periodic inspection, providing an extra layer of evidence between formal test cycles.

Where thermal imaging inspections make sense
Thermal imaging is most useful where systems run under load, where downtime is costly, or where you need evidence of proactive risk management. It helps highlight defects not obvious from visual inspection alone
Insurance renewal and risk audits
Some insurers and risk teams request thermographic evidence, a clear report can support your maintenance file.
Manufacturing and continuous operations
Reduce unplanned stoppages by checking switchgear, protection, and critical distribution under normal load.
Warehousing and logistics sites
Monitor boards and circuits feeding essential operational areas, lighting, loading, and plant.
Data rooms and critical infrastructure
Identify overheating in distribution feeding IT, UPS, and comms equipment, where continuity matters.
Facilities management and multi-site estates
Consistent surveys and reporting across sites, helping you prioritise remedials and budget.
After repeated faults or overheating concerns
If circuits trip, connections run hot, or equipment behaves inconsistently, a survey helps pinpoint focus areas.
Following upgrades, board changes, or new plant
Confirm temperatures and load behaviour after changeovers, commissioning, or remedial works.
Older installations and high-load boards
Ageing gear and heavy loads can increase risk, thermal imaging helps you spot developing issues early.
