For contactors in the Building, Facilities Maintenance, HVAC, and Electrical industries, the ability to visualise each situation you are facing can make a huge difference. Knowing precisely where to start with a job, can save time and effort, meaning you increase efficiency, and ultimately provide a faster service to customers.

Those 20-30 minutes extra spent diagnosing each job soon add up, particularly at busy times of the year when you’ve got a waiting list. With that in mind, a valuable addition to many contractors toolkit is a thermal imaging camera.

But what specific applications is a thermal camera most useful for?

Below we summarise some of the best examples where thermal imaging has time and time again, proved an extremely effective diagnostic tool for contractors:

Heating and installation systems

Checking radiators for build-up of silt deposits

Identifying underfloor heating abnormalities

Electrical Maintenance

Identifying overloads, imminent malfunctions or existing defects in switching cabinets and wiring

Construction and Mould Assessment

Visualising thermal bridges in buildings

Detecting areas that are prone to mould

Leak Detection

Pinpointing thermal anomalies in leaking pipes

Locating roof leaks

Structural and Insulation Defects

Finding insulation defects

Checking air tightness of windows and doors
