Electrical problems don’t always come with a warning. Moore’s infrared thermography inspections identify potential issues before they lead to costly equipment failures, safety hazards or unexpected downtime.
Our certified thermographers are also electricians, giving you one trusted partner to identify electrical concerns, recommend solutions and perform necessary repairs.

Electrical thermal imaging, also called infrared thermography, uses an infrared camera to capture the heat your electrical equipment gives off. Loose connections, overloads and failing components run hotter than they should, often long before there is any visible sign of trouble.
Inspections are generally performed while equipment operates under normal load, so we can identify abnormal heat patterns without requiring a planned shutdown for the scan itself.
Detect potential problems before they escalate.
Address developing issues before equipment fails.
Support a safer electrical environment.
Plan repairs before failures disrupt operations.
Many thermal imaging providers hand you a report and leave the rest to you. Every Moore’s thermographer is also an electrician, so we can evaluate what we find, recommend the right fix and complete the repair.

I want to thank you for all that you do. I was very pleased with the thermal imagining that you conducted here at Lawrenceville Correctional Facility. You and your team were able to do a great job finding hot spots and doing the repair fast and effective. The report was very detailed and self-explanatory You were able to find the problems and save a lot of money. We were able to save a lot of emergency repairs by finding the problems through thermal imagining. I look forward to have you conduct another one this year as preventive maintenance for me.

Request a Thermal Imaging QuoteOur electrical thermal imaging inspections focus on the equipment that carries the most load, and the most risk, in your facility.
Main and distribution switchgear, breakers and bus connections, where one failure can take down a building or production line.
Distribution panels, panelboards and disconnects, checked for overheating breakers, loose connections and imbalanced loads.
Starters, contactors, overload relays and feeder connections that keep production equipment, pumps and HVAC running.
Dry-type and pad-mounted transformers and their terminations, checked for overloading, poor connections and cooling issues.
Lugs, splices, busway and terminations, the most common source of heat-related failures, plus UPS systems and other critical equipment on request.

NFPA 70B, the Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance, outlines how facilities should build and document an electrical maintenance program. Since its 2023 edition, it includes infrared thermography as part of that program, with inspection intervals based on equipment condition, criticality and operating environment. Equipment in poor condition or with urgent findings from a prior inspection generally calls for more frequent scans.
Whether NFPA 70B applies to your facility, and how often you should scan, depends on factors such as your jurisdiction, insurance carrier, company policies and equipment condition. Our infrared thermography inspections and reports can help support your electrical preventive maintenance program and the documentation NFPA 70B calls for.
Answers to the questions facility and maintenance managers ask most about electrical thermal imaging and infrared thermography inspections. For more, see our electrical thermal imaging FAQ article.
Cost depends on how much equipment we scan, how many buildings or sites are included and how easy the equipment is to access. Rather than a one-size-fits-all price, we scope each electrical thermal imaging inspection to your facility. Tell us about your site through the form on this page and we will send you a quote.
It depends on your equipment and your requirements. Many facilities scan annually as part of an electrical preventive maintenance program, and NFPA 70B sets intervals based on equipment condition, with more frequent scans for equipment in poor condition or with urgent findings from a previous inspection. Facilities with critical loads, aging equipment or a history of electrical problems often scan more often. We can help you choose a schedule that fits your facility.
NFPA 70B is a consensus standard, not a law on its own. Since its 2023 edition, it has been a standard rather than a recommended practice, and it includes infrared thermography as part of an electrical maintenance program. Whether it applies to your facility depends on factors such as your jurisdiction, insurance carrier and company policies. Our reports document what was scanned, what we found and our recommended corrective actions, which can support your maintenance records.
Many commercial property insurers and loss-control engineers ask for periodic infrared scans of electrical systems. Check your policy or ask your carrier what they require. Our inspection report provides the kind of documentation insurers typically ask to see.
Very little. Inspections are generally performed while equipment operates under normal load, so the scan itself does not require a planned shutdown. We schedule around your hours, work through your facility area by area and coordinate with your team before opening any equipment. If a repair needs power off, we will talk with you first and plan it at a time that works for you.
We scan switchgear, electrical panels and panelboards, motor control centers, transformers, disconnects, busway, and the connections and terminations throughout your electrical distribution system. We can add other critical equipment, such as UPS systems, on request.
