Electrical Thermography

Thermographic Testing of Electrical Equipment

This quick service is a non invasive preventive measure for both commercial and residential buildings to ensure breaker panels and other outlets are not overheating. It can offer peace of mind to owners knowing there is not a potential fire hazard in the building.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates that ten percent of the fires occurring in manufacturing properties are related to electrical system failures.  Electrical distribution systems are the third leading cause of home structure fires. Each year in the United States, arcing faults are responsible for starting more than 28,000 home fires, killing and injuring hundreds of people, and causing over $700 million in property damage.  By detecting high-resistance connections and repairing them, the likelihood of a breakdown of the electrical wires and related components can be prevented. Other advantages to detecting and repairing these faults are the cost savings from energy conservation and lower outage and repair costs.

Dixon electric has experienced technicians that can test using an advanced Thermal Camera and have a comprehensive report ready in 48 hours or less for most cases.
