Electrical Thermography Services

Electrical Thermography is becoming a very powerful and effective electrical resource for reducing costs in electrical repairs.

Electrical Thermography & Electrical Thermal Study

At Phoenix Contracting Services, we always try to keep up with the current electrical trends and electrical tools to assist our customers in preventive maintenance.

When electrical equipment fails under normal or abnormal operating conditions, heat is usually associated with the equipment/material prior to its failure. A tool that captures heat and then display its temperature parameters in a picture format is called a thermal camera. These cameras reveal temperature differences(deltas) in material and equipment in real time.

An electrical thermographer is the operator of the camera. The thermographer uses the camera and software to produce a report that displays various color pallets defining temperature deltas that aid in the detection of potential equipment failures that might not be visible to the naked eye.

Electrical Thermography is becoming a very powerful and effective electrical resource for reducing costs in electrical repairs. Thermography is now listed in the NEC 70 B (Recommended Practice for Electric Preventive Maintenance) as a procedure in aiding the preventive maintenance practice in the electrical work place.

Electrical Thermal cameras are quickly becoming a tool of choice for the electrical industry in preventive maintenance programs overseen by facility managers/owners who want to identify potential electrical risks prior to failure.

What Are the Benefits of Electrical Thermographic Inspection?

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates that ten percent of the fires occurring in manufacturing properties are related to electrical system failures, such as failure of electrical insulation, terminals, and related components. Additionally, failures can cause employees to be exposed to live electrical circuits, making them susceptible to serious injury or death from electrocution. By detecting high-resistance connections and repairing them, the likelihood of a breakdown of the electrical wires and related components should be reduced.

Other advantages to detecting and repairing these faults are the cost savings from energy conservation and lower outage and repair costs. High resistance in circuits causes an increase in current flow. When current flow is increased, the resulting power consumption will increase. Further, high current draw can cause critical electrical circuit components, such as fuses, circuit breakers, and transformers, to fail prematurely. These failures result in higher maintenance and repair costs, and resultant business interruptions.

Why should I hire a professional electrician?

There are many things that can go wrong, some of which are fatal. Hiring a licensed, experienced electrician will most likely save you in the long run. These professionals are aware of the local and most recent electrical codes and can inspect your electrical panel and wiring for any defects.

Electricians go through extensive training to become licensed and are required to complete continuing education hours to renew their licenses, which also keeps them up with national, state and local laws and regulations.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, “Between 2010 and 2014, U.S. municipal fire departments responded to an average of 45,210 home structure fires involving electrical failure or malfunction. These fires caused annual averages of 420 civilian deaths, 1,370 civilian injuries, and $1.4 billion in direct property damage.”

As a woodworker aficionado, in my spare time I have built just about everything from wooden sailboats to kitchen cabinets, to furniture, to entry doors, and may even try building a guitar. I absolutely enjoy building things out of wood. So, when I say that Jeff and his crew are very competent, you can trust my words. They helped me build a workshop at our home. I am not a contractor, nor do I build buildings, but I know good workmanship when I see it, and I see it here. You will find them ...

I have been exceptionally pleased with the work done by Phoenix Contracting Services. It is consistently excellent. One of the best parts of their service is their attitude. It is one of wanting to do their best for you and to know what else they can do while they are there. They always offer sound advice and great service. And if they need to come back to finish something that they ran out of time to do, it is usually within 24 hours, something unheard of in this area.

Excellent Service! My air conditioner had stopped cooling and I called Phoenix Contracting Services and set up an appointment on Monday morning. The service man “Josh” was very knowledgeable and explained everything that needed to be done. I thought the main problem was the capacitor and I was right. He replaced it and serviced the equipment. I also told him that one of my son’s room was not cooling. He found that the air duct was split between two rooms, so he fixed that problem, too. He ...

Outstanding job! Phoenix Contracting Services is awesome. They came out on time and just provided us with top notch service. They installed an outside system and also did some major ductwork in the attic. Our attic is super tight and hard to work in but they were able to be up there working nonstop. Everyone was professional, accommodating, and worked on our house like it was their own. I’m so glad to have found them and would recommend them highly.

Phoenix Contracting Services, we wanted to thank you for your help in restoring power after the storm. In the face of an inane county inspection requirement from the power company, we weren’t sure how many hoops we were going to have to jump through. But you made the process as quickly and easily as we ever could have hoped. We greatly appreciate your professionalism, speed and compassion. Thanks again.
