Thermal Imaging allows us to find and correct costly electrical repairs before they happen. It shows us a panel is about to fail before it fails and heads off home electrical fires, loose connections and overloaded breakers and wires. It lets us see things a regular electrical check wouldn’t show. It allows us to see inside the breaker thermally and evaluate the contacts inside. Thermal imaging is the most cost effect method of checking this taking almost a quarter of the time it normally would to complete.
