What is Thermal Imaging and Why Does it Matter?
Thermal imaging, sometimes called thermography, uses specialised infrared cameras to detect abnormal heat patterns within electrical systems. These 'hotspots' highlight underlying faults with your electrical installations and systems that can’t be seen during a standard visual inspection. By choosing a professional thermal imaging service, you gain:
- Early detection of electrical faults before they escalate
- Reduced risk of unplanned downtime and production losses
- Improved workplace safety and compliance
- Peace of mind knowing your systems are being monitored with industry-leading technology

From Survey to Action Plan
We understand that when you book thermal testing services, you want more than just a report. We make sure to provide you with actionable insights that will protect your business in both the short and long term, with a survey and inspection process built around clarity and compliance.
- Site survey – Our fully accredited engineers carry out a full thermal imaging survey using high-resolution infrared cameras
- Data analysis – Images are carefully reviewed to identify abnormal heat patterns and potential faults
- Detailed reporting – We provide a clear, easy-to-understand report with prioritised recommendations
- Compliance guaranteed – All findings are linked to current safety standards, so you know exactly what actions and remedial repairs are required.
- Ongoing support – We can schedule regular electrical thermal imaging surveys as part of a predictive maintenance plan
This step-by-step approach gives you the confidence to plan repairs on your terms, which will help you control costs while ensuring your systems are kept compliant.
Focused on the Real Risks You Face
Every site has its own challenges when it comes to keeping electrical systems safe, efficient and compliant. At ETM, our engineers use infrared thermal imaging services to identify the issues that matter most to your business:
- Electrical panels and switchgear – Pinpointing loose connections, corrosion or high resistance that could cause overheating
- Circuit breakers and fuses – Detecting overloads or uneven load distribution before failure occurs
- Motors and transformers – Monitoring for excess heat caused by wear, imbalance or insulation breakdown
- Mechanical systems – Finding worn bearings, boiler seal leaks or failing insulation in hydraulic, steam and hot water systems
- Building inspections – Checking insulation continuity, detecting flat roof leaks and locating HVAC inefficiencies
By focusing on how your systems are used day-to-day, we don’t just highlight problems - we help you prevent them.
