Our routine Infrared (Thermal Imaging) inspections reveal problems which are invisible to the eye. We help identify and predict hazardous safety related electrical, mechanical, inefficiencies, and building issues before a breakdown occurs.
Equipment running at optimal performance also means less downtime, lower cost to operate, and lower replacement costs!

Infrared Inspections and Thermal Imaging Inspections
US Infrared Inspections is one of the premier infrared thermography inspection companies operating in the United States, with its home office based in Maryland. The teams of ITC certified Level II and Level III thermographers are trained to investigate, provide facts, and report problems that plague your home, office or business operations.
We are trained to find electrical, mechanical, building envelope, and HVAC problems before they become costly repair issues for your home or facility. Our thermographers are current with continuing education credits as well as periodic updates in training as the field of infrared thermography continues to evolve.
Infrared thermography is a non-contact technology that measures surface temperatures. Everything on the planet, above -273 degrees Celsius, emits a heat signature. Thermal cameras have the ability to detect these heat signatures and to determine a range of temperatures. These thermal images can be analyzed and compared to temperature charts that help forecast or predict upcoming events.
These images can reveal:
- Loose electrical connections
- Overheated Motor windings and bearings
- Poor mechanical shaft alignments
- Uneven wear patterns on moving equipment
In building envelope systems:
- Moisture under roof membranes
- Water damaged shingles and underlayments
- Leaky skylights
- Poorly installed or missing insulation in walls and attics
- Over-all energy losses
In HVAC systems:
- Air flow losses
- Poor air flow in duct work
- Poor condenser evaporation
- Poor fan blade alignment and shafts
- Motor and motor winding problems
In foundations and structural systems:
- Moisture penetration
- High humidity areas
- Foundation cracks
- Water penetration
- Voids in concrete integrity
In Electrical transmission and distribution systems:
- Overloaded neutral conductors
- Switch gear problems
- Capacitor Banks connections
- Transformers
- Insulators
- Vessel oil levels
- SF6 leaks
Our reports, baseline, to comparative baselines, to preventative solutions, not only identifies safety hazards, establishes a performance window that reveals an analysis of your operations performance. To lower your insurance costs, share our reports with your insurance carrier to get a reduction in your rates.
Our infrared inspection services are a proven effective part of an overall condition-based maintenance strategy.
Clients continue to rely on this cost-effective means of testing during normal operations to keep their electrical and mechanical equipment operating safely and efficiently.
