It is the fastest way to know whether an older home's electrical system is safe.

[Home](/) 2. Infrared Electrical Imaging for Homes ## When homeowners ask for infrared imaging - Buying or selling an older home and wanting more than a visual inspection. - Breakers that trip, outlets or switches that feel warm, or a burning smell you cannot locate. - Panels from brands with known failure histories, before deciding on a [replacement](/electrical/panel-upgrades). - After adding large loads such as an [EV charger](/electrical/ev-chargers), a heat pump or a hot tub. - Insurance requirements for older wiring. ## What you get An electrician images the panel, the main connections and accessible wiring while the house is under normal load, explains what the camera shows, and gives you a written report with the thermal images and a plain-English recommendation. Repairs, if any are needed, are quoted at flat rates. ## Frequently asked questions Is infrared imaging the same as an electrical inspection?It is a component of one. A full inspection also checks grounding, outlets, GFCI and AFCI protection and code issues; imaging adds the ability to see heat problems a visual check misses. Does it damage or interrupt anything?No. The panel cover comes off, the camera reads the surfaces, and the power stays on. **Call (877) 325-0180** or [schedule online](/contact).
