NO EQUIPMENT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED FOREVER.

Electrical apparatus is no exception. That said, it’s in your power to extend its lifespan and ensure no catastrophic failure occurs.

Whether it’s about distribution lines or transformers, every piece of electrical equipment tends to generate heat that can serve as an early sign of potential failures. At IRIS, we are in a position to detect and measure this heat during a thermographic inspection of electrical installations at your facility.

Thermal imaging is the science of using heat to understand what’s going on beneath the surface, and it’s actually a very simple and easy way to uncover hidden problems.

A thermographic home inspection or industrial inspection uses infrared cameras to record temperatures throughout an object or structure. The images are then analyzed by experts who can pinpoint problem areas based on differences in temperature compared to surrounding areas. In other words, we can see where there’s been some trouble—even if you can’t. 

There are many different kinds of issues that can be found with a thermographic inspection: mold, moisture, leaks, insulation problems, electrical issues… anything within the skeleton of your asset. If something isn’t working as well as it should be then chances are we’ll find it when we use thermography testing on your property or building.

Investing in infrared thermography can save you money and unnecessary downtime.

Benefits of including infrared thermography in your maintenance schedule include:

  • Detecting faulty components and replacing them before a major breakdown occurs
  • Fine-tuning equipment performance
  • Maintaining a safe working environment by minimizing fire-related and other risks
