What We Inspect

Infrared Inspections for Electrical Systems and Buildings

One certified thermographer, three kinds of scan, each reported with photos, temperatures and a priority.

1

Electrical infrared inspections

Switchgear, distribution panels, motor control centres, transformers, disconnects and EV feeders, scanned live under load to find loose or overheating connections and unbalanced loads.

2

Thermographic building inspections

Walls, roofs, windows and ceilings scanned for heat loss, air leakage, missing insulation and moisture. Best done in the heating season, when the indoor to outdoor temperature difference is large.

3

Homes and small buildings

For homes, the infrared scan of your panel and high-load circuits is part of the Electrical Baseline Assessment, together with a capacity review and an engineered report.

Why Our Scans Go Further

A thermal image shows where the heat is. A baseline tells you why.

Heat depends on load. A connection running 10°C warm at 30% load is a bigger problem than the same reading at 90%, because heating rises with the square of the current. So we read every finding against the load behind it.

A STANDARD INFRARED SCAN

  • Thermal photos of hot spots and a temperature
  • Load at the time of the scan often not recorded
  • No check against your busiest hour
  • Hot spots only, no condition or capacity picture
  • A list of anomalies, and you find someone to fix them

ENERGABLE THERMOGRAPHY + BASELINE

  • The same live scan, by ITC-certified thermographers
  • Phase currents and voltage drop recorded on every finding
  • Checked against your utility interval data or power logging, so the ranking holds at your real peak
  • Condition and available capacity for EV charging, heat pumps, batteries or tenant loads
  • A ranked fix list reviewed by a Professional Engineer, repaired by licensed electricians, then re-scanned

Need a standalone annual scan for maintenance or insurance? We do that too. Planning new load? The baseline answers the next question in the same visit.

What Infrared Sees That You Can't

Every Scan Runs Live, Under Load

Here's what shows up, and why it matters before it fails.

01

Electrical Hot Spots

We detect

Overloaded circuits, loose terminations, and failing breakers, live under load

Why it matters

Caught as heat weeks before they arc, trip, or start a fire

02

Building Envelope

We detect

Insulation gaps, air leaks, and thermal bridges across the shell

Why it matters

Where heating and cooling dollars are escaping, pinpointed

03

Moisture & Water

We detect

Hidden leaks, roof intrusion, and trapped moisture

Why it matters

Found before it becomes mold, rot, or a structural repair

04

HVAC Systems

We detect

Blocked vents, duct losses, and failing heat exchangers

Why it matters

Why a system runs constantly and still can't keep up

05

Mechanical Equipment

We detect

Bearing wear, motor overheating, and pump cavitation

Why it matters

A failing motor flagged while it's still a cheap repair

06

Process & Safety

We detect

Process heat anomalies and fire-risk hotspots

Why it matters

Documented for your insurer and ESA, before an incident

Infrared finds the problem before it finds you.

🏭

Manufacturing & Industrial

Production lines, warehouses, and plants where a failing connection means downtime.

🏥

Healthcare & Education

Hospitals, schools, and institutions where reliability is not optional.

🖥️

Data Centers

Mission-critical rooms where electrical and cooling faults are caught before they cascade.

🏬

Multi-Unit Residential

Condos and apartments needing documented inspections for insurers and resident safety.

🏨

From a Recent Inspection

Mississauga Condo Towers: two towers, about 400 suites

Before the board relied on its electrical equipment for EV charging, we scanned both electrical systems live in winter, when heating load is highest, and reported against CSA Z463 and ASTM E1934.

0

Critical faults

Main switchboards, risers, transfer switches, generators, elevators and pumps across both towers, scanned live with no shutdown

2

Minor findings fixed early

A mismatched fuse running warm on a 600 V rooftop disconnect, recorded with phase currents and voltage drop, and a corroded pool pump disconnect

16 → 40

EV chargers planned

Thermography first, then a week of power logging showed the headroom to start with 16 Level 2 chargers and grow to 40

Straight Answers

Thermography Questions

The kind we would give before you commit a dollar of capital. Tap a question.

How much does a thermographic inspection cost in Toronto?
It depends on the building and the equipment. Send the address and a short list of the panels or areas to scan, and we reply with a fixed quote within 1 to 2 business days.
Do you do thermographic building inspections?
Yes. We scan walls, roofs, windows and ceilings for heat loss, air leakage, missing insulation and moisture. Envelope scans work best in the heating season.
Do you inspect homes?
Yes. For homes, the infrared scan of the panel and high-load circuits is part of our Electrical Baseline Assessment, with a capacity review and an engineered report.
What does an infrared inspection actually find?
Overloaded circuits, loose connections, and failing equipment, showing up as heat before they fail. It sees problems the eye cannot.
Does it require a shutdown?
No. Scans run live, under load, with zero downtime, which is the only way to capture real faults.
Will this satisfy our insurer?
Often, yes. Many insurers accept or require infrared reports; we document findings for compliance and renewals.
How often should we scan?
Typically annually for critical systems, or as your insurer or ESA requires.
What do we receive?
A documented report with prioritized findings: what needs attention now, and what does not.
Is this maintenance or safety?
Both. It helps prevent fires and outages and extends equipment life.
How is this different from a standard infrared scan?
A standard scan shows where equipment is warm. We also record the load on each finding and check it against your utility data or power logging, so the ranking holds at your real peak. The report adds condition, available capacity and a ranked fix list, reviewed by a Professional Engineer.
Why does the load matter during a scan?
Heat in a loose or overloaded connection rises with the square of the current. A lightly loaded circuit can look fine on the day and run hot on a cold January evening. We scan under representative load and note the load for each finding.
Who performs and interprets the scan?
ITC-certified thermographers perform the scan, with a licensed electrician on the equipment. Every finding is interpreted and the report reviewed by a Professional Engineer and Certified Energy Manager, so you get engineering analysis, not just thermal images.
