Thermal Imaging & Infrared Inspection Services
Predictive Maintenance for Safer, More Reliable Electrical Systems
Thermal imaging is one of the most effective predictive maintenance tools available for electrical systems. Van Ert Electric’s certified thermographers use infrared scanning to identify developing electrical issues—allowing problems to be corrected before they result in unplanned downtime, equipment damage, or safety incidents.
By catching issues early, thermal imaging helps you address problems on your schedule, not during an emergency.
How Thermal Imaging Works
Infrared thermography detects temperature variations that are invisible to the naked eye. These temperature differences often indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, deteriorating components, or unbalanced electrical loads.
Van Ert performs inspections on critical electrical assets—those whose failure could impact people, property, or operations—providing clear documentation and baseline images for future comparison.
What Thermal Imaging Can Identify
Thermal imaging inspections help detect early warning signs of electrical failure, including:
- Loose or deteriorating electrical connections
- Overloaded or unbalanced circuits
- Failing breakers, fuses, and disconnects
- Motor and drive related electrical issues
- Abnormal heat buildup in panels and switchgear
Baseline scans allow future inspections to quickly determine whether temperature changes are normal or require corrective action and help verify that repairs have been successful.
Electrical Assets Commonly Inspected
Van Ert’s thermal imaging services are frequently used to evaluate:
- Electrical panels and switchgear
- Motor control centers (MCCs)
- Transformers
- Drives and variable frequency drives (VFDs)
- Motor terminations and feeders
- PLC and control cabinets
Additional non electrical components may be evaluated as part of broader preventive maintenance programs when appropriate.
Benefits of Thermal Imaging Inspections
- Improved electrical safety
- Early detection of potential equipment failures
- Reduced unplanned downtime
- Better planning of maintenance outages
- Increased equipment reliability and service life
- Verification of repair effectiveness
- Support for proactive maintenance and reliability programs
Qualified Inspectors & Actionable Reporting
Thermal imaging inspections are performed by trained and certified personnel using professional grade infrared equipment. Each inspection includes clear findings and documentation that help maintenance teams prioritize corrective actions and plan repairs efficiently.
Van Ert’s focus is not just capturing images—but delivering insight that supports safer operations and informed maintenance decisions.
Supporting Proactive Electrical Maintenance
Thermal imaging inspections are most effective when performed on a routine basis and incorporated into a predictive maintenance strategy. Van Ert works with customers to establish inspection schedules that align with operational demands, system criticality, and long term reliability goals.
