Thermographic Surveys

A thermographic survey is a non-invasive inspection technique that uses a thermal imaging camera to detect heat patterns and temperature variations in buildings, electrical systems, and mechanical equipment.

• Identify energy loss: Detect areas of heat loss or thermal bridging in buildings, allowing for improved insulation and energy efficiency.

• Detect electrical faults: Identify overheating components in electrical systems, preventing potential failures and fire hazards.

• Preventative maintenance: Detect early signs of wear and tear in mechanical equipment, allowing for proactive maintenance and preventing costly breakdowns.

• Moisture detection: Identify areas of moisture buildup or leaks, preventing potential damage to building structures.

• Non-invasive inspection: Inspect areas without the need for physical disruption or damage.

• Building inspections: Identify insulation gaps, air leaks, and moisture issues.

• Electrical inspections: Detect loose connections, overloaded circuits, and faulty components.

• Mechanical inspections: Monitor the condition of motors, bearings, and other rotating equipment.

• Plumbing inspections: Identify leaks and blockages in pipes.

• Renewable energy inspections: Assess the performance of solar panels and heat pump systems.

A qualified thermographer uses a thermal imaging camera to scan the areas being inspected. The camera detects infrared radiation and translates it into a visual image that shows temperature variations. The thermographer then interprets the images to identify potential issues.

For building inspections, it's generally best to conduct the survey during colder weather when there is a greater temperature difference between the inside and outside of the building. This helps to highlight areas of heat loss.

The cost can vary depending on the size and complexity of the survey. We offer competitive pricing for thermographic surveys.

Thermographers should have appropriate training and certification to ensure they can competently operate the equipment and interpret the thermal images. Our team includes qualified thermographers with the expertise to conduct accurate and reliable surveys.
