Uncovering Concealed Electrical Challenges with Thermal Imaging: Why Thermoelite is Trusted in Canada

 Electrical thermal imaging is now regarded as one of the most powerful non-invasive diagnostic tools for providing electrical safety in all homes, commercial buildings and industrial facilities, far surpassing previously used diagnostic tools.  It is quick, reliable and provides informative details about the condition of electrical systems, allowing issues to be identified before they evolve into a costly or dangerous situation. 

At Thermoelite, we take pride in providing professional, responsible and diligent thermal imaging inspections.  As one of the leaders in thermal inspection in Canada, we combine the latest infrared technology with qualified professionals to enable our clients to discover hidden electrical faults and help them minimize downtime and comply with the safety regulations in Canada.

We will explain how electrical thermal imaging is done, the significance of thermal imaging and explain again why Thermoelite is trusted by professionals.  

What is Electrical Thermal Imaging

Electrical thermal imaging or infrared electrical inspection is a method of identifying abnormalities in electrical systems that utilize heat signatures emitted by electrical components.  By using a high-definition infrared camera, inspectors can detect hot spots on electrical parts that are overheating, such as overheating loose connections, overloaded circuits, faulty breakers, damaged fuses or corroded wires without requiring touching and dismantling the electrical parts. 

Since heat is typically the first indicator

The Advantages of Electric Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging has a significant role to play in your electrical maintenance philosophy whether you are responsible for a commercial property, residential complex, or industrial plant. Here are some great reasons to perform thermal inspections with Thermoelite:

1. Faults identified sooner

The majority of electrical fires are caused by faults left unattended, such as inadequate connections and overheating cables. With our infrared scans, you can identify these faults before they cause catastrophic failures.

2. Save money with less downtime

Unexpected outages impact operation continuity costing you thousands of dollars. We also reduce future unplanned outages by identifying faults and failures before they have impact and costs.

3. Safety

Thermal imaging reduces unsafe workplace conditions by identifying underperforming electrical systems, and its more effective in higher risk workplace environments when electrical faults may cause potential harm.

4. Compliance and The Insurance Company

Thermal imaging is now required in some safety regulations and many insurance companies request thermal imaging as part of routine building maintenance. Thermoelite will enable your compliance and you could also get a reduction in your insurance cost.

5. Quick/Non-invasive

No need to shut down equipment or to stop production, with our service it is quick, silent and does not interfere with electrical services, so it is possible to do inspection of equipment even when it runs 24-7.
