Annual Infrared Inspections: A Critical Step for Electrical Safety and Reliability

In industrial and commercial facilities, electrical safety and reliability are essential. Unexpected equipment failures or downtime can disrupt operations, drive up costs, and put staff at risk. That’s why experts recommend performing at least one infrared (IR) inspection per year as part of a proactive maintenance program.

At THERMOinspect, we specialize in industrial and commercial infrared inspections across Canada, helping manufacturers, property managers, and building owners detect problems before they become costly or dangerous.

Why Schedule an Annual Infrared Inspection?

  • Detect Hidden Electrical Issues: Electrical panels, switchgear, and transformers often develop loose connections or overloaded circuits. These problems generate abnormal heat signatures that only infrared thermography can detect.
  • Adapt to Environmental & Operational Stress: Seasonal changes, dust accumulation, and fluctuating electrical loads accelerate equipment wear. An annual thermal scan ensures these evolving risks are identified early.
  • Meet Compliance and Industry Standards: Organizations such as NFPA, ISO, and Infraspection Institute recommend regular thermographic inspections to support electrical maintenance standards and reduce liability.


Key Benefits of Annual Infrared Inspections

  • Prevent Equipment Failure – Identify overheating components before they lead to unplanned outages.
  • Reduce Downtime Costs – Keep production lines, commercial operations, and tenants running smoothly.
  • Extend Asset Life – Protect and preserve electrical infrastructure with proactive care.
  • Improve Workplace Safety – Lower the risk of fire or arc flash incidents.
  • Enable Predictive Maintenance – Build a yearly thermal record for data-driven decision-making.
