Infrared Electrical Inspections for Commercial Business Commercial businesses are often asked by insurance companies to conduct an infrared electrical inspection as a risk management tool. During an infrared electrical inspection, elevated temperatures are located, including in the energized electrical system, and recorded before service interruption, equipment damage, or a possible fire occurs. Breaker panels, switch gear, bus heads and other components specific to commercial businesses are inspected. The findings are reported in a spreadsheet format and problem areas are illustrated with infrared themograms. This annual inspection can increase safety and can be used by an insurance company to assess the potential risk of a commercial business.
