Infrared Panel Scanning

Allstar Electrical Services uses the very latest technology to diagnose potential electrical problems for both homeowners and commercial property managers.

One of the leading examples is the Infrared Scanner, a sophisticated device used to quickly and efficiently measure potential overheating in electrical connections and equipment, which could be a sign of imminent failure.

Our professional electricians scan the service panel for trouble signs and then can make the necessary repairs or adjustments before trouble sets in. Most of the time these scans reveal that nothing is wrong, but occasionally we find a circuit that is overheating and about to blow – an easy fix – or a line that is frayed and heating and needs to be replaced.

We also scan equipment, especially equipment with electric motors, and can spot the potential for failure.

Our Infrared Scanning Service is an inexpensive trouble-shooting process that most often produces peace of mind. Just another example where Allstar Electrical Services provides its customers with cutting-edge technology and services to nip a potential problem in the bud and keep the home, office building or industrial facility working safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is infrared electrical panel scanning?

Infrared (thermal) scanning uses a specialized camera to detect abnormal heat patterns in panels, breakers, and connections. Hot spots can indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or failing components—often before they cause an outage or damage.

Does infrared scanning require shutting down power?

Typically, no. Thermal scanning is most useful while equipment is energized and under load. In some situations, we may need planned conditions to capture accurate readings, but full shutdowns are often not required.

What happens if a hot spot is found?

We’ll document the location and severity, then recommend corrective action such as tightening connections, rebalancing loads, replacing a breaker, or repairing damaged conductors. The goal is to address issues proactively and reduce failure risk.

How often should facilities perform infrared scans?

Frequency depends on building type, load criticality, and history of issues. Many facilities schedule annual or semi-annual scans, especially for panels serving critical equipment. We can recommend a schedule that matches your risk profile.
