Infrared Thermographic Electrical Inspections, Charleston SC
Loose connections, imbalanced loads, and failing breakers give off heat long before they fail. EmergenServe performs infrared thermographic inspections of commercial electrical systems across the Lowcountry so property owners catch problems while the building is still operating normally and while the fix is still inexpensive.

Our Process
Step 1: Load coordination
We schedule the scan during peak operational load so heat signatures are meaningful, not artifacts of an idle building.
Step 2: On-site imaging
A trained thermographer opens every panel and captures IR plus visible-light images of live components, following NFPA 70E-compliant PPE.
Step 3: Report
You receive a written report with severity ratings tied to delta-T thresholds, repair priority, and photos suitable for insurance submission.
Step 4: Remediation
Findings can be corrected by our crews the same week, with post-repair verification imaging included when requested.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get an infrared electrical scan?
Annual scans are standard for most commercial buildings. Facilities with heavy motor loads, older switchgear, or insurance mandates typically scan every six months.
Does an infrared scan affect building operations?
No. The scan is performed while the equipment is under normal load. There is no downtime and no interruption to tenants.
Will my insurance carrier accept your report?
Yes. Reports include the imager model, thermographer credentials, delta-T severity ratings, and photographs, which meet the documentation requirements of the major commercial property carriers.
