Thermal Imaging Services
Thermal imaging finds hidden electrical heat before it causes a problem. Burke Plumbing & Heating uses this service to check panels, breakers, connections, and equipment for hot spots. Homeowners and businesses call when lights flicker, breakers trip, or equipment runs hot. A thermal scan helps spot loose connections, overloaded circuits, and failing components early.
We start with a walk-through of the electrical system and the areas you worry about. A licensed electrician scans panels, junctions, motors, and visible wiring with an infrared camera. The camera shows temperature patterns as color images. We compare those patterns to normal readings to find anomalies.
Common problems we find include loose lugs, corrosion, imbalanced loads, and failing motors. These issues show as localized heat on the thermal image. Catching them early lowers fire risk and prevents unexpected failures. Thermal imaging also helps verify repairs and confirm safe operation after changes.
The inspection takes less time than many think and needs no demolition. We keep power on during most scans so we see real operating conditions. If we find a concern, we explain the cause and recommend actions that follow manufacturer specs. Recommendations can include tightening connections, rebalancing loads, or replacing worn parts.
Safety guides our work. We follow safe work practices and inspect from safe distances. Thermal imaging itself is noncontact and does not disturb wiring. If repairs are needed, we explain the safest next steps and schedule work to reduce risk.
Cost depends on system size, number of inspection points, and accessibility. We give a clear estimate after a brief call or site visit. Typical home and small commercial scans fall within general price ranges we explain up front. There are no hidden fees for the basic report.
Our team has years of field experience performing thermal scans for electrical systems. We combine camera results with hands-on checks to give you useful, accurate findings. To get a clear estimate and schedule a thermal imaging inspection, contact us for an assessment.

SIGNS YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL Thermal Imaging Services
Signs you should book Thermal Imaging Services include flickering lights, breakers that trip often, or panels that feel warm to the touch. Owners also call when motors run hot, outlets are loose, or equipment emits burning smells. These symptoms can show deeper electrical heat that a camera reveals. A scan helps find the cause before it causes failure.
We also recommend a scan after major changes to your electrical system. Examples include adding a new panel, installing high-load appliances, or large HVAC changes. Thermal imaging verifies connections and checks load balance under real conditions. This step helps ensure new work meets manufacturer specs.
Routine signs include uneven heating across three-phase equipment or one breaker consistently hotter than others. Mechanical signs are squealing motors or frequent motor resets. These point to worn bearings, imbalanced loads, or failing components. The thermal image shows focused hot spots tied to those issues.
Visible corrosion, water stains near electrical gear, or rusted connections are other triggers for a scan. Moisture can raise resistance and create heat that a camera detects. We look for thermal patterns that match corrosion or wet spots. Finding these early cuts fire and equipment risk.
We perform the scan with systems running when safe, so we see real operating temperatures. A licensed electrician sweeps panels, junctions, motors, and exposed wiring with an infrared camera. We take notes and compare readings to expected values and manufacturer guidance. The report shows images, findings, and recommended next steps.
If we find a problem, we explain the likely cause and suggest fixes that follow manufacturer specs. Typical fixes include tightening connections, rebalancing circuits, or replacing worn parts. We outline safety steps and can schedule repair work to reduce downtime. Our advice aims to be practical and clear.
Cost depends on system size, number of inspection points, and accessibility. We explain those cost factors and offer general price ranges when you call.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does a thermal imaging inspection cover and how long does it take?
A licensed electrician performs a walk-through and scans panels, junctions, motors, and visible wiring with an infrared camera. The scan is noncontact and usually done with systems running to show real temperatures. Most residential or small commercial scans finish in one visit and often take less time than owners expect. We provide a written report with images and recommended next steps.
What problems can thermal imaging detect in my electrical system?
Thermal imaging finds focused heat from loose lugs, corroded connections, imbalanced loads, and failing motor bearings. It also shows overloaded circuits and hot breakers before they fail. Early detection lowers fire risk and prevents unexpected equipment downtime. The camera results help verify repairs and confirm safe operation after changes.
Do I need to shut off power or prepare anything before the inspection?
Most scans are done with power on so we see real operating conditions, so shutoffs are usually not required. We only need safe access to panels and equipment and clear walkways for the electrician. If any shutdown is needed for safety, we explain it beforehand and schedule it with minimal disruption. You should note any equipment or areas you want inspected during the brief walk-through.
How do you handle safety and manufacturer compliance during the inspection?
We keep a safe distance, use proper tools, and follow safe work practices during every scan. Thermal imaging is noncontact and does not disturb wiring, so the scan itself carries low risk. When we find an issue, recommendations follow manufacturer specifications and safe repair steps. If repairs are needed, we explain the safest timeline and can schedule the work.
How much will a thermal imaging inspection cost and how do I get an estimate?
Cost depends on system size, number of inspection points, and equipment accessibility, so prices vary by job. We explain those cost factors during a brief call and provide general price ranges up front. After a short site visit we issue a clear written estimate for the inspection and any recommended follow-up. Contact us to request an estimate and schedule the inspection.
