Thermograhic Imaging / Electrical Testing

We are currently providing Thermo Imaging of large electrical systems from coast to coast, border to border. The majority of sites are in excess of 1.5 million square feet, but the small installation needs predictive maintenance and problem solving also. With our testing services and procedures being used by utility companies, manufacturing firms, large distribution warehouses, or your local retail shop, we can predict electrical burn out or failure in time to prevent costly downtime and or loss of product and in some cases life. In conjunction with our Thermographic pictures we also employ recording meters, etc... as the situation or the customer requires.
