Infrared (IR) Thermography: Ensure Compliance and Prevent Catastrophic Failures
Electrical preventive maintenance is no longer just a recommendation—it is a mandatory enforceable standard. The NFPA 70B (2023 edition) mandates regular, documented Electrical Preventive Maintenance (EPM), including annual infrared (IR) scanning of energized equipment. Protect your facility, avoid code violations, and prevent costly downtime with our certified IR thermography services.
Who Needs Regular IR Scanning?
The shift to mandatory NFPA 70B compliance directly impacts owners and managers of:
- Commercial Buildings: Office complexes, shopping centers, and data centers.
- Industrial Plants: Manufacturing facilities, refineries, and processing plants.
- Institutional Facilities: Hospitals, schools, and government buildings.
- Multi-Family Residential: Large apartment buildings and senior living communities.
- Utilities & Infrastructure: Substations and switchgear.
Why Choose DE Thermography?
Beyond regulatory compliance, routine IR thermography saves you money. By identifying hidden electrical faults, high-resistance connections, and load imbalances before they cause equipment failure, we help you:
- Prevent Unplanned Downtime: Keep your operations running smoothly.
- Lower Insurance Costs: Many insurance providers offer reduced premiums for proactive Electrical Maintenance Programs (EMP).
- Avoid Penalties: Ensure your documentation stands up to AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) inspections.
- Extend Equipment Lifespan: Catch failing components early to avoid expensive emergency replacements.

Top Benefits
- Certified, trained, and licensed electricians inspecting your electrical equipment.
- Stay compliant with insurance companies, NFPA 70B, and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.303.
- Preventive, comprehensive approach to your Electrical Maintenance Program (EMP).
- Increase personal safety and reduce risk of injuries through risk management.
- Protect valuable electrical equipment while reducing costly failures and downtime.
- Annual maintenance results with year-by-year report comparisons and preventive maintenance solutions.
- Thermography diagnostics performed by professionals who can make necessary adjustments and repairs.
Key Implications for Thermography Compliance
- Mandatory Infrared Scanning: NFPA 70B:2023 requires annual regular thermography to detect loose connections, overloaded circuits, and high-risk equipment conditions.
- Enforcement via General Duty Clause: If an arc flash or electrical failure occurs, OSHA can cite employers for violating the General Duty Clause by using 70B as evidence of a failed, non-compliant maintenance program.
- Documentation and training: The standard demands documentation of inspections and that thermography is performed by trained professionals using calibrated equipment.
- Shift in Responsibility: The 2023 update changed language from “should” to “shall,” transforming IR scanning from a best practice into an audit-ready obligation.

What Is Thermography?
Electrical thermography uses infrared cameras to detect heat patterns inside electrical systems. Since overheating often happens before failure, this technology allows us to find problems that aren’t visible to the naked eye—without opening walls or causing disruption.
What We Can Detect
- Loose or failing connections
- Overloaded circuits
- Failing breakers or panels
- Imbalanced electrical loads
- Hidden fire risks

Why It Matters
Many electrical failures begin as heat buildup. Left undetected, these issues can lead to:.
- Equipment damage
- Unexpected outages
- Expensive repairs
- Electrical fires
- Hidden fire risks

Ideal For
- Commercial buildings
- Industrial facilities
- Property managers
- Homeowners (especially older homes)
- Preventative maintenance programs
Thermography inspections are:
- Non-invasive (no tearing into walls)
- Fast and efficient
- Highly accurate
- Ideal for routine safety checks
Detect problems before they become expensive.
