How often should a commercial building get a thermal imaging inspection?
Most commercial properties benefit from an annual inspection. Buildings with older electrical infrastructure, high tenant turnover, or heavy mechanical loads may need more frequent scans — we can recommend a schedule based on your building's age and system condition..
Will an inspection disrupt building operations or require a shutdown?
No. Infrared thermography is performed on live, energized systems with no need to power down equipment or disrupt tenants during the scan.
Do you work with property management companies covering multiple buildings?
Yes. We regularly coordinate portfolio-wide inspection programs for property managers and REITs, with standardized reporting across every site so you can compare results year over year.
What happens if the inspection finds a problem?
You'll receive a report identifying the issue, its severity, and a recommended timeline for correction. IRIS PDM doesn't perform electrical repairs directly, but the report helps you and your electrical contractor prioritize what needs attention first.
Do you serve buildings outside Toronto?
Yes. IRIS PDM provides commercial building thermal imaging throughout the GTA and across Canada, with regional teams available for on-site inspections.
What’s the difference between thermal imaging and a standard electrical inspection?
A standard electrical inspection checks that equipment is installed and rated correctly, but it's a visual, point-in-time review. Thermal imaging detects how equipment is actually performing under load — catching hot spots from loose connections, overloaded circuits, or failing components that a visual inspection alone would miss.
Who typically requests these inspections — owners or property managers?
Both. Property managers often initiate inspections as part of routine preventive maintenance, while owners and asset managers request them for insurance renewals, due diligence before a property sale or refinance, or after an incident like a tripped panel or breaker failure.
Are your technicians certified?
Yes. IRIS PDM technicians are certified thermographers and ESA-certified electrical contractors, with training specific to commercial and industrial electrical systems
