Thermal Imaging Services
What We Do
Thermal Imaging non destructive inspections are conducted using equipment that is compliant to the RESNET Standard to highlight any temperature anomalies that may indicate issues not seen by the human eye.
We provide a Thermal Imaging service as not only can show results to predict components or equipment that is about to fail preventing thousands of dollars in costly downtime but can also prevent fires caused by equipment overheating, measure thermal efficiencies, detect water ingress and water leak.
- Great Price and Great Service!
- We will work with you and can book Thermal Imaging Services either during business hours, after hours and weekends.
- Hourly rates or fixed rates for contracted service agreements.
- On completion you will promptly be sent a report for any highlighted anomalies with images, temperature readings that are of concern and an explanation of the details. Can also contact us to talk you through the report.


Electrical Thermal Imaging

- An electrical thermal infrared inspection is the first step in a comprehensive predictive maintenance program.
- Excessive heat generated by electrical equipment and components is normally in our experience a by-product of an issue like loose terminal connections, corroded wires, poor contacts, excessive power load etc.
- Identifying hot spots and excessive heat is a predictive way to highlight early warning signs of a potential fault that can be rectified before a costly breakdown or fire occurs.
- Fyi: Insurance companies often now request bi-annual or annual Thermal Scans of switchboards and electrical equipment at your premises. Also check if your insurance company give a discount for having a thermal scans done?
Mechanical Imaging

- Non destructive testing of mechanical equipment and components has numerous applications and is the first step in a comprehensive predictive maintenance program.
- A moving part that is starting wear and fail will produce heat as friction increases which is what is seen in our thermal images.
- Excessive heat generated by mechanical equipment and components is normally in our experience a by-product of an issue like a poorly greased or failing bearing, lack of cooling, miss-aligned couplings and belts, excess load on motors etc.
Water Leak & Pipe Blockage Imaging

- Inspect Corded Internal Window Coverings for compliance and safety as per The Trade Practices Mandatory Safety Standards as part of the Trade Practices (Consumer Product Safety Standard – Corded Internal Window Coverings) Regulations 2010 mandates all owners / landlords to comply from 1 July 2011.
- All alarms are tested using artificial smoke to ensure the alarm is operational in practice.
- Inspect that cords are at correctly installed and compliant.
- Check that warning labels are still attached to cords or cleats.
- We make minor rectifications to meet compliance which may be but are not limited to warning tags and cord guides.
- We will leave a courtesy note if we feel corded are within reach of children via furniture, cots etc.
HVAC Imaging

- Thermal imaging is a great way to detect issues in HVAC systems that you are not able to detect you the human eye.
- An efficient way to inspect duct work, valves, compressor coils, motors and belts, electrical components, refrigerant leaks, insulation etc.
- The detection of thermal differences as hot and cold spots enables issues to be highlighted that area not identified by visual inspections which can prevent breakdowns, costly repairs and improve heating and cooling efficiency.
Preventative Maintenance

- A thermal infrared inspection is the first step in a comprehensive predictive maintenance program. Many businesses claim that their downtime was cut in half by scheduled thermal scans being able to highlight any problem that they can fix before they got serious.
- Components of the equipment can be scanned such as electrical contactors, circuit breakers and connections, motors, bearings, rollers, belt alignments and many more. The biggest advantage of thermal imaging detection though is that it allows maintenance personnel to investigate the faulty area before it even causes a problem.
- Being able to predict a fault before it occurs enables maintenance and service to rectify a fault prior to costly breakdowns or even fire.
Insulation Efficiency Imaging

- Heating and cooling losses due to poor insulation can be easily identified by conducting a thermal scan.
- The efficiency of thermal insulation is important for efficiency in numerous applications such as residential, commercial and buildings, cool rooms, pipe work, window & door seals etc.
- It not only a great way to reduce energy costs but is also important for our environment.
Fault Finding

- Identifying the root cause of a fault can be a lengthy and costly process.
- In many cases faults produce a hot or cold temperature anomaly so being able to quickly see this in a thermal infrared scan can be an invaluable way to expedite fault identification. For example: A faulting bearing, motor, relay, roller etc. in a production line can be quickly identified by a abnormally high heat signature.
- Numerous faults can be quickly identified such as electrical, mechanical, leaks (liquid and gas), process valves (open, closed, leakage), storage tanks (sludge levels), combustion engines, pipelines (check if and where there are anomalies, for example locate build up of scale or blockage), storage vessels etc.
Solar Panel Imaging

- A Thermal Image Scan of solar panel cells highlights if any cells are operating at higher temperature which is a positive indication that they are becoming less efficient. This means that they are producing less electricity and may even result in a reverse current fault that could damage your inverter and control system which is more costly to repair.
- We also scan the whole system to check the inverter, fuses and connections etc.
- After samples are correctly taken, analysis is conducted at an National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) laboratory
