Thermography is the use of an infrared imaging camera to "see" and measure thermal energy emitted from an object.

IR Services - Services

IR Infrared Services offers a variety of audit types to suit your needs.

Infrared Services: Electrical

In electrical system, components get hot before they fail. An infrared inspection can help identify "hot spots" in electrical equipment. Poor connections, overloaded circuits, load imbalances, and faulty, mismatched or improperly installed components can create resistance which leads to increased heating and eventual failure.

Infrared Services: Mechanical

In mechanical systems, overheating can be caused by internal problem in motors, misaligned equipment, improper lubrication of rotating components, and improper tension on drive belts. Infrared surveys can locate these mechanical deficiencies and help keep your equipment operating smoothly.

An IR Mechanical Inspection will target problems in rotating equipment including motors, bearings, couplings, shafts, etc.  The inspection also pinpoints problems due to mis-alignment, overloading, or insufficient lubrication.  Many of these types of problems are not visible to the naked eye and are not noticed until failure occurs.  The predictive nature of the IR inspection can prevent unscheduled maintenance and downtime.

Infrared Services: Building Envelopes

It cannot be denied that the US is in the grips of an energy crisis that is threatening to undermine the economy and the only immediate solution is to limit energy demand. One way of doing this is through energy efficiency interventions in the built environment.

Diagnostics in residential and commercial buildings involves identifying and troubleshooting anomalies throughout the building, which can affect overall performance. A number of separate yet inter-related conditions should be checked on a regular basis to identify potential problems in the way the building or its systems are operating.

A wide range of performance issues directly related to the building tightness, the quality of insulation, indoor air quality, and the effectiveness of ventilation systems can be quickly and accurately revealed with the right diagnostics tools. Infrared thermography is a primary diagnostic procedure that can be used to determine the thermal performance of a building envelope. IR can be used to identify heating and cooling loss owing to poor construction, missing or inadequate insulation and/or moisture intrusion. Correcting these defects can play a significant role in increasing building efficiency, structural integrity and protecting the health of the occupants.

The collected data can be used to quickly locate and accurately diagnose existing or potential problems, which can jeopardize not only building performance and the comfort of its occupants, but also compliance with building, health and safety regulations.

Infrared Services: Roofing

IR Infrared Services' infrared roofing inspections can detect leaks and pinpoint water-soaked areas that can reveal unseen damage to insulation and other roofing materials. This allows you to repair only the damaged areas, rather than replace the entire roof. Early detection of roof leaks can also save thousands of dollars in related repairs of walls, floors, and other exposed equipment. We inspect many types of roofs, including commercial flat or sloped roofs and residential roofing systems. An infrared roof inspection is ideal for anyone considering purchasing a home or commercial property. The information we providecan be used for proper evaluation and/or as a valuable negotiating tool.

Infrared Services: Home Energy Audit

Our trained and certified professional thermographers use state-of the art thermal infrared cameras to perform extensive energy surveys of your home or commercial property. We can improve the efficiency of your home or commercial building by detecting moisture problems and air leakage inside and outside of buildings and homes that can rob energy and increases cost. With Infrared thermal imaging we can find these defects and save you money and costly repair bills. In addition, a thermal inspection is a valuable service to inspect properties before you even buy. We provide comprehensive color reports with thermal and visible images side-by-side for accurate identification and location of defective areas. For more information, see Green Collar Crew.


The energy surveys has the following advantages:

• Certified, professional thermographer to perform an extensive energy survey of your home or commercial property

• Comprehensive report with thermal and visible images side-by-side for accurate identification and location of defective areas

• Validate completed work from builders and contractors

Infrared Services: Process Monitoring

As part of our Process Monitoring Program, IR Services inspects and monitors the condition of equipment to detect mechanical and electrical problems at the earliest stages, before a failure occurs. Process Monitoring gives you the convenience of scheduling your repairs when the necessary parts and personnel are available. This proactive approach to maintenance allows recalling information on any piece of equipment from the database to evaluate equipment trends and predict possible failures.
