Discover the Advantages of Infrared Inspections

Infrared inspections are unique because they allow the inspector to find problems before they occur. These inspections can identify overheating that is unidentifiable to the human eye. We discover the abnormal heat patterns in your electrical system and solve them before they become a serious issue.

The Infrared Inspection Process Explained

Identify the type of equipment we will examine
Expose the electrical components by removing covers
Scan the electrical system for irregularities
Investigate the probable cause of each anomaly
Recommend corrective or preventive action

Once we conduct our infrared inspections in Los Angeles and determine the likely cause of any overheating, we will help you find a solution by suggesting action to resolve the issue and preserve the electrical system.
