Preventive maintenance
Thermal imaging switchboard inspections in Melbourne
A thermal camera shows what a visual check can't — loose joints, overloaded circuits and failing components heating up inside your switchboard, before they fail.

Most switchboard failures give a warning first: heat. A loose termination, an overloaded circuit or a failing breaker runs hotter than everything around it, often for months before it trips, melts or starts a fire. A thermal scan under normal load finds those hot spots in minutes, without shutting anything down.
How a thermal inspection works
We scan your main switchboard and distribution boards while the site is trading, so circuits are under their normal load. Anything running hotter than it should is photographed with both a thermal and a standard image, measured, and rated by urgency.
You get a report showing every issue found, why it matters, and what we recommend — and because we're A-grade electricians, we can quote and fix the problems straight away.
Who should get one
Commercial kitchens and venues with heavy loads. Retail and offices with older switchboards or recent fit-outs that added load. Warehouses with machinery and high-bay lighting. Property managers who need evidence of preventive maintenance for insurers. An annual scan is also included in our maintenance contracts.
