Featured Services
Electrical Infrared Inspections
Detect early-stage faults in electrical panels, switchgear, transformers, and circuit breakers. Our NFPA 70B-compliant inspections help prevent outages, fires, and costly downtime through early detection of hotspots, loose connections, and overloads.
Mechanical Systems Thermography
Pinpoint issues in motors, bearings, pumps, and rotating equipment before they cause failure. Infrared diagnostics reveal overheating, friction, and wear to support optimized maintenance planning.
Roof & Moisture Intrusion Surveys
Identify moisture ingress, roof membrane failure, and insulation loss. We use handheld and drone-based imaging to deliver detailed moisture mapping and guide proactive repair decisions.
Drone / Aerial Infrared Imaging
Capture high-resolution thermal data over large rooftops, solar fields, and facility exteriors. Aerial thermography provides fast, accurate assessments with georeferenced visuals and annotated findings.
Arc Flash Studies
Identify electrical hazards and ensure worker safety with NFPA 70E-compliant arc flash studies. We analyze your electrical system to calculate incident energy levels, determine required PPE, and provide accurate labeling to meet OSHA requirements and reduce the risk of injury during live work.

FAQs
Is an infrared inspection required by law?
Under the 2023 NFPA 70B standard, infrared inspections are mandatory for most commercial, industrial, and multi-family electrical systems. The standard requires:
- At least once every 12 months for typical equipment
- Every 6 months for high-risk equipment or systems with a history of issues
- While not a federal law, NFPA 70B is recognized by OSHA and widely enforced through insurance and safety compliance. Failing to follow the inspection schedule can lead to denied claims, citations, and increased liability in the event of a failure.
Are your inspections NFPA 70B and 70E compliant?
Yes. Our inspections follow NFPA 70B standards for electrical preventative maintenance and NFPA 70E guidelines for electrical safety. We provide compliant reports that help facilities meet audit and insurance requirements.
Do you provide inspections outside of Texas?
Yes. While our headquarters is in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, we serve clients nationwide and support multi-site operations across the U.S.
What are the benefits of an infrared inspection?
Infrared inspections offer proactive risk detection that can prevent fires, unplanned outages, and costly repairs. Benefits include:
- Early fault detection in electrical, mechanical, and roofing systems
- Insurance premium reductions with proper documentation
- Minimized downtime by identifying issues before failure
- Compliance with NFPA 70B and other preventive maintenance standards
- Improved asset reliability and safety
Can you inspect electrical systems while they’re live?
In most cases, yes. Thermal inspections are designed to be performed on energized equipment to detect heat anomalies caused by load, faults, or loose connections. Our team follows strict safety protocols during every inspection.
How long does an inspection take?
The time required depends on the size and complexity of the facility. A small commercial site may take just a few hours, while larger campuses or data centers may require a full day or multiple days. We’ll provide a detailed estimate before scheduling.
How soon will I receive my report?
Most reports are delivered within 3–5 business days. Reports include annotated thermal images, temperature deltas, prioritized findings, and actionable recommendations.
