A big part of a commercial business’s responsibility is maintaining all aspects of the building and ensuring it is safe for use.
This includes all electrical installations.

Thermography of electrical equipment uses small and detailed infrared cameras to help detect any kind of electrical fault.
These infrared cameras work by identifying the volume of heat that particular objects emit. The more heat that is released, the brighter the colours that are displayed.
For example, a blown fuse would be detected as the fuse would be cooler than usual, so it would show up as blue in colour, highlighting a fault.
Other faults that thermal imaging can detect include:
Identify excessive heat signatures before failure.
Pinpoint weak joints that resist current flow.
Reveal degraded insulation invisible to the eye.
Spot cool fuses that signal a circuit fault.
Detect moisture ingress around live equipment.
Thermographic testing of electrical installations is a fundamental safety check for any commercial building. Faults that develop in wiring, switchgear and connections often go unnoticed until they cause equipment failure — or worse, fire.
Regular infrared inspections allow our engineers to identify problems while your systems are live and under normal load, giving you a true picture of operational risk before it becomes a costly incident.
Note: It may be a requirement with your insurance provider that such tests are carried out; make sure to check with your provider that all insurance requirements are met.
At B-Engineering, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality, professional electrical installation and testing services.
We work with you to carry out testing and maintenance at a time that is convenient for you, and we will provide detailed reports of all testing, as well as any findings and electrical work carried out, so you have complete documentation.
Our qualified and experienced engineers are able to identify and rectify faults before they have the chance to cause considerable damage.
Helping systems to work more effectively, we work hard to ensure that electrical installations are well maintained and performance is optimised, supporting a reduction in energy bills over the long term.
Helping to keep your business fully operational and safe, speak to a member of the B-Engineering team today.
Our engineers will carry out a thermographic survey in order to test the overall health of your building’s electrical installations. Think of it like carrying out an X-ray for your electrical wiring, where specialist infrared cameras are used to identify thermal heat patterns in electrical installations.
Using thermographic testing, we will be able to identify how much energy is being released. The greater the temperature reading, the greater the thermal energy being released, and this measurement is what we use to determine if certain equipment is working as it should be.
This technique allows us to identify potential problems early as well as target hard-to-reach areas.
Identifying problems such as loose connections, overloaded circuits, phase imbalances, faulty components, induced currents, poor terminations, poor performance, and more.
Thermographic surveys are non-invasive and can be carried out during normal day-to-day activities, so there is no disruption to your business operations.

Electrical Safety First reports that 1 in 4 fires in the UK are caused by electrical faults – 1 in 4!
These electrical fires are most commonly caused by loose connections, overloaded circuits, and arcing faults.
This is where thermal imaging of electrical installations plays a vital role in safety.
By understanding what needs checking and carrying out detailed reporting and analysis on your electrical infrastructure, onsite inspections will provide you with detailed data and information that helps you to identify any anomalies that require immediate attention and preventative measures to be put in place.
As well as providing a valuable safety net and assurances, thermal electrical testing also helps to prevent costly downtime, reduce fire risks, extend equipment lifespan (saving you money), and offer you energy savings.

Thermographic testing is a service where infrared cameras are used to test the performance and integrity of all electrical installations within a building. Ensuring that circuit boards, electrical equipment, and wiring are all safe for use.
We would recommend thermal imaging surveys to be carried out annually, after EICR tests, following any type of installation work, for insurance purposes, or when first buying a property.
Thermographic testing is suitable for any type of commercial business, for example, data centres, healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, schools, retail and hospitality, and more.
Thermal imaging is used alongside and to complement standard electrical testing, often used as a form of predictive maintenance. In comparison, standard electrical testing is a compliance requirement.
Our team of engineers is fully qualified and trained to provide you with the best service around. Keeping you and your teams safe and compliant, you can rely on us to provide you with a robust electrical service that provides you with confidence and peace of mind that you are in safe hands.
