Electrical failures announce themselves as heat long before they become outages or fires. An infrared survey of your panels and switchgear finds the hot spots while they are still a repair rather than an emergency.

What infrared imaging finds
- Loose or corroded terminations heating under load.
- Overloaded breakers, conductors and phases.
- Failing breakers, contactors, disconnects and fuse clips.
- Phase imbalance and harmonic heating in distribution equipment.
- Motor, transformer and drive problems on the equipment side.
Why facilities schedule it
Insurers and electrical maintenance standards increasingly expect a periodic infrared survey of energized equipment. Beyond compliance, it is the cheapest way to prevent the downtime that a failed main breaker or burned bus causes. Progressive surveys the equipment under normal load, without shutting anything down, and delivers a written report with thermal and visual images, severity ratings and recommended repairs.
Survey to repair, one contractor
Because the electricians doing the survey are the ones who fix what it finds, there is no hand-off. Findings are quoted from the same visit, and panel or equipment replacement is scheduled around your operations.
Frequently asked questions
Does the survey require a shutdown?
No. Infrared imaging is done with equipment energized and under normal load, which is the only way the hot spots show.
How often should we do it?
Annually is the common cadence for commercial facilities; critical or heavily loaded equipment may warrant more. Your insurer may specify an interval.
What do we receive?
A report with thermal and visual images of each panel, a severity rating for each finding, and a recommended repair, plus a quote for the repairs.

Joe Oliveira stopped by my home, took time to understand the problem that I was having with the unit, went back and discussed the issue with his team of experts and had a detailed work order sent to me with in a day. … Based on the experience that I have had with Progressive Plumbing, Heating & Air, Electrical, I will HIGHLY recommend them for HVAC install and maintenance.
