Thermal Imaging
Domestic, Commercial & Industrial
Christchurch Electrical provides electrical thermal imaging inspections for a wide range of customers - domestic, commercial & industrial. Thermal imaging is a non-invasive, non-contact procedure that is designed to detect potential electrical faults & identify any switchboard hazards early, before a potentially costly or even dangerous failure. It is best carried out when the switchboard is operating under normal conditions.
What is Thermal Imaging?
Thermal imaging (or thermography) is the use of an infrared imaging & measurement camera to detect & measure the thermal energy emitted from an object. Thermal (or infrared energy) is light that is not visible to the naked eye & is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Our infrared cameras produce interpretable images of invisible heat radiation and offer precise non-contact measurement capabilities. Nearly any piece of electrical equipment will get increasingly hot before it fails - a fact that makes thermal imaging with infrared cameras an extremely cost-effective & valuable diagnostic tool in electrical work, with a wide-ranging & a diverse number of applications.

How Electrical Thermal Imaging Inspections Can Be Used?
- When systems are under load
- To take a wide view of your system – there’s no need to just focus on a point
- To identify & locate trouble spots
- To tell you exactly what needs to be fixed or replaced
- To plan & manage repairs before unexpected & potentially expensive breakdowns occur
