Switchboard Thermal Imaging Inspections
Thermal imaging is often requested by insurance providers, or building owners for peace of mind. Carter & Company Electrical Contracting work with fully certified Thermographers and provide comprehensive reports to suit these requirements. Thermography is a non-destructive, non-intrusive, and non-contact means of detecting poor fuse and circuit breaker contacts, poor connections, overloaded circuits, and faulty components.
