Is one of many Select Energy predictive maintenance services designed to help our customers save time and money through early detection of electrical and mechanical problems. For every $1 you spend on thermal infrared inspections, $110 in maintenance is prevented. Bad connection on transmission line

WHY THERMAL SCANS? Infrared inspection is one of the most effective predictive maintenance tools available. The cost of a thorough inspection by a professional Thermographer will be paid for many times over by the elimination of just one failure. Thermal infrared imagers are detector and lens combinations that give a visual representation of infrared energy emitted by all objects above 0 k. In other words thermal imagers let you "see" heat. Depending on the sophistication of your system, thermography is capable of providing very detailed images of situations invisible to the naked eye.

Our MissionInfrared Thermography is a detection procedure that converts invisible heat energy into a visible picture. Our highly trained technicians use it to reveal defects or problems in electrical systems or mechanical equipment, or in any process that uses or produces energy. It is also used to reveal moisture trapped inside wall cavities. Detection of moisture provides early warning of possible toxic mold growth. Advance notice of developing problems enables you to perform the necessary adjustments or repairs before costly, sometimes catastrophic failures occur. One of the purposes of an infrared inspection is to survey a number of pieces of electrical equipment, mechanical equipment and wall structure, as selected by you, the customer with the objective of locating potential problems and determining their priority.
