How Often Should Commercial Buildings in Canada Be Thermally Inspected?

  Thermal inspections are essential for commercial buildings across Canada. They help prevent hazards and optimize building performance. This article explains how often inspections should occur—and why they matter. What Is Thermal Inspection? Thermal inspection —also called  infrared thermography inspection —uses infrared cameras to detect hidden issues. It finds hot spots in electrical panels, moisture behind walls, and missing insulation without breaking into walls or shutting down systems. Key Benefits An  infrared electrical inspection  offers several advantages: Detects overheating parts before failure Improves energy efficiency Prevents unexpected equipment breakdown Helps meet insurance and safety requirements How Often Should Inspections Be Done? Here’s a general guide for how often thermal inspections are recommended for commercial buildings in Canada: Building Type Recommended Frequency Offices and retail Every 12 months Factories and high-load buildings Ev...

Hidden moisture, insulation gaps, overloaded circuits, and a series of heat loss problems usually do not pose before serious damage is done. That casts the spotlight on infrared inspections, and no one does it better than Thermo Elite. What Is Infrared Inspection? Infrared inspection , or thermographic inspection, conducts non-destructive diagnosis with the use of an infrared camera so as to detect temperature variations within building components. Such variations may often suggest an underlying problem, such as: Electrical faults Moisture intrusion HVAC inefficiencies Roof leaks Missing insulation Mechanical wear It is the most practical way of discovering a problem that might spiral into a costly emergency. Thermo Elite enjoys a good name for it, especially in Montreal and the neighboring areas. Why Thermo Elite? Why infrared inspecti...

Electrical panel thermography Why Thermo Elite Is Your Partner for a Safer Electrical System

Image
  Within your electrical infrastructure, the electrical panel is quite possibly the biggest component of your systems responsibility. Whether you operate a commercial building, industrial facility, or even a significant residential complex, the electrical panel distributes power, powers your lighting and equipment, and keeps your functions operational. But what if there are unseen problems beginning to take shape inside that panel? That's exactly why electrical panel thermography is a critical service and why many organizations and property owners call in Thermo Elite for assistance. What is Electrical Panel Thermography? Electrical panel thermography is a specialized diagnostic process that uses advanced infrared imaging to find abnormal temperature readings within electrical systems and their components. Instead of waiting for the electrical fault to become visible on its own - or worse, failure - thermography provides the ability to find hidden problems earlier in their life cy...
