Infrared Thermography Testing & Electrical Thermal Imaging Inspections (NFPA 70B Compliant)

Infrared thermography is one of the primary NFPA 70B–recommended condition-based maintenance tools for identifying electrical and mechanical issues before they fail. Because almost every power-carrying component generates excess heat prior to breakdown, thermal imaging has become essential for maintaining safe, reliable, and fully compliant facility operations.

If you’re searching for infrared thermography testing, electrical thermal imaging inspections, or NFPA 70B preventive maintenance services, you’re in the right place.

Why Infrared Thermography Testing Matters Under NFPA 70B

NFPA 70B now expects facilities to perform routine electrical maintenance, including thermal inspections of energized equipment. Infrared testing helps you discover:

• Loose or deteriorating electrical connections
• Overloaded circuits or breakers
• Switchgear and MCC hot spots
• Transformer insulation issues
• Motor and mechanical component heating
• Load imbalances
• Early-stage failure indicators and fire hazards

Under NFPA 70B, thermal anomalies are a key trigger for corrective action — and catching them early keeps you compliant and keeps your plant running.

Prevent Downtime with NFPA 70B–Aligned Infrared Thermal Imaging

A professional infrared inspection program supports NFPA 70B’s requirements for documented, condition-based maintenance by providing:

• Instant thermal images showing hidden defects
• Accurate, non-contact temperature measurements
• Clear, NFPA 70B–style documentation for maintenance records
• Actionable repair recommendations prioritized by severity

One overheated electrical connection eliminated today can save thousands in downtime, repairs, and production losses tomorrow — exactly what NFPA 70B’s maintenance framework is designed to prevent.

Trusted Thermographers for NFPA 70B Compliance

Our certified thermographers understand how IR fits into NFPA 70B’s maintenance schedules, inspection methods, and required documentation. We help facilities:

• Improve electrical system reliability

Optimize Safety and Reliability with Infrared Electrical Scans

Electrical failures don’t give you a warning—they give you heat. Overheating equipment can lead to fires, arc flash events, injuries, unplanned downtime, expensive repairs, and even higher insurance premiums.

Infrared thermography is one of the fastest, most effective ways to detect electrical problems early and keep your facility safe, reliable, and fully compliant with NFPA 70B’s new preventive maintenance requirements.

Protect your people. Protect your equipment. Protect your uptime.

Industrial Infrared Thermography Services – Facility Results

NFPA 70B • Predictive Maintenance • Electrical & Mechanical IR Inspections

Industrial facilities across the U.S. trust Facility Results for professional infrared thermography services that keep equipment running safely, reliably, and efficiently. Our IR inspections follow the latest NFPA 70B requirements, giving you the compliant, predictive maintenance data you need to reduce downtime, prevent failures, and protect your people and equipment.

We help you find problems before they find you.

Why Infrared Thermography Matters

Infrared thermography is one of the most powerful predictive maintenance tools available today. Using high-resolution thermal imaging, we identify electrical and mechanical issues that are invisible to the naked eye—overheating components, loose connections, phase imbalance, overloaded circuits, worn bearings, misalignment, and more.

These problems create heat.

We find the heat before it becomes smoke, outages, or arc flash events.

With Facility Results IR inspections, you get:

• NFPA 70B-compliant thermal imaging
• Early detection of electrical & mechanical failures
• Reduced downtime & fewer unplanned outages
• Improved equipment reliability
• Extended equipment life
• Detailed, image-rich reports for your maintenance team

Electrical Infrared Thermography (NFPA 70B)

We scan all major electrical equipment, including:

• Switchgear
• MCCs (Motor Control Centers)
• Main service equipment
• Transformers
• Disconnects
• Distribution panels
• Breakers & fuses
• Bus ducts
• Transfer switches
• UPS systems
• Control panels

NFPA 70B requires annual infrared inspections, and our services are structured to help you stay compliant without slowing down operations. Every scan includes temperature deltas, equipment condition ratings, severity levels, and clear recommendations for corrective action.

Mechanical Infrared Thermography

Thermal imaging is also a powerful diagnostic tool for mechanical systems. We detect wear and failure indicators long before traditional maintenance would catch them.

We inspect:

• Motors
• Bearings
• Pumps
• Fans & blowers
• HVAC equipment
• Compressors
• Conveyors
• Rotating machinery
• Production equipment

Mechanical issues often escalate quietly until they explode into major downtime. Our scans stop problems before they start.
