What is Infrared Thermal Scanning?     

Infrared inspection is one of the most effective predictive maintenance tools available. The cost of a thorough inspection using thermal imagery will be paid for many times over by the elimination of just one failure.

     Thermal infrared imagers are detector and lens combinations that give a visual representation of infrared energy emitted by all objects above 0  k.  In other words thermal imagers let you "see" heat by providing very detailed images of situations invisible to the naked eye.  

The following are examples of thermal scans that revealed problems
 unseen by the naked eye.  

The two photos above shows the difference between what the eye sees and what the thermal camera sees.  This shows a thermal scan on an electrical component.

Potential problems included faulty lighting equipment
and personal injury from electrical shock.

Infrared Thermography is a detection procedure that converts invisible heat energy into a visible picture. Our highly trained technicians use it to detect water intrusion into the home that can lead to deterioration of the substrate, decay, and possible defects or problems in electrical systems or mechanical equipment, or in any process that uses or produces energy. Detecting moisture trapped inside wall cavities provides early warning of possible toxic mold growth. Advance notice of developing problems enables you to perform the necessary adjustments or repairs before costly, sometimes catastrophic failures occur.
