Find electrical faults before they fail
Loose connections, overloaded cables, unbalanced phases and failing breakers all get hot before they fail. A thermal imaging camera shows that heat, so faults can be fixed at a time that suits you rather than during a breakdown, or worse, a fire.
Because the survey only works while current is flowing, we carry it out during your normal working day. Many insurers ask for it, and it works well alongside your EICR or in the years between.
See the faults before they fail
No shutdown
The survey is done while your equipment is running normally, so there's no disruption at all.
Clear priorities
Each hotspot is photographed in thermal and normal light, with its temperature, the load at the time and an urgency rating.
Fix and re-scan
Our electricians can fix what's found and re-scan to prove the problem has gone.

Thermal imaging surveys: your questions answered
What Birmingham businesses ask us before booking.
How often should we have a thermal survey?
Many sites have one every year, often in the years between EICRs. Insurers sometimes set their own requirement.
Does thermal imaging replace an EICR?
No. It finds heat-related faults but doesn't test protective devices, earthing or insulation. It works best alongside a regular EICR.
Do you need to switch anything off?
No. The survey only works with the installation running under normal load. Covers are removed safely under your permit system.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency call-outs?
Our phones are answered 24/7 by a real person, never a chatbot. We don't run a 24-hour call-out service, but we regularly work evenings, nights and weekends by arrangement.
Are you NICEIC approved?
Yes. We're an NICEIC Approved Contractor and SafeContractor accredited, and all our electricians are DBS checked, carry ID and wear uniform.
Do you provide RAMS?
Yes. Site-specific risk assessments and method statements are sent before every commercial job.
