Preventative maintenance to protect your assets
Prevent Electrical Failures with Expert Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging (Thermography) is a method of inspecting electrical and mechanical equipment by obtaining heat distribution pictures. This inspection method is based on the fact that most components in a system show an increase in temperature when malfunctioning.
Commercial facilities often face electrical problems like overheated components and pump bearing problems, leading to costly downtime and equipment failures. Expert thermal imaging inspections, or thermography, are crucial for detecting these issues early by capturing heat distribution images that reveal malfunctioning components through increased temperatures.
As physical contact with the system is not required, inspections can be made under full operational conditions resulting in no loss of production or downtime.
Modserve has an experienced team with extensive knowledge of thermal imaging surveys. All our staff are NZ registered electricians and trained in fault finding of electrical systems. A report is provided to our customers at the completion of each Thermal Imaging survey. This report will highlight any electrical failures or non compliances as per the NZ electrical regulations. We will make recommendations for any replacements and/or preventative maintenance that is needed. Any urgent work that poses risk to your business will be highlighted immediately.

Benefits of Thermal Imaging
-
Preventative Maintenance
Regular thermal imaging inspections enable early detection of potential issues in commercial and industrial premises. By identifying and addressing problems like overheating components or electrical faults before they escalate, businesses can avoid costly repairs and unexpected downtime.
-
Enhanced Property Management
Property managers can greatly benefit from thermal imaging by maintaining the electrical integrity of buildings. Routine inspections can uncover hidden issues in electrical systems, preventing hazards and ensuring tenant safety. This helps in prolonging the lifespan of property assets and reduces the likelihood of emergency repairs, contributing to better property management and tenant satisfaction.
-
Compliance with Insurance Requirements
Many insurance policies require proof of proactive maintenance and risk management. Thermal imaging inspections provide documented evidence of regular checks and issue resolution, helping businesses meet insurance criteria. This not only enhances safety but can also lead to lower insurance premiums and reduced liability, offering financial benefits alongside improved protection.
-
Energy Efficiency Improvements
Overheating components often indicate inefficiencies in electrical systems that lead to higher energy consumption. Thermal imaging helps identify these inefficiencies, allowing for corrective measures that optimize system performance. By addressing these issues, businesses can achieve significant energy savings, lower operational costs, and contribute to sustainability goals.
-
Safety Assurance
Regular thermal imaging inspections play a vital role in enhancing workplace safety by identifying potential fire hazards and electrical faults. By mitigating these risks early, businesses can protect their employees and property from accidents and fire-related incidents. This creates a safer working environment and ensures compliance with safety regulations.
-
Operational Continuity
One of the key advantages of thermal imaging is its non-intrusive nature, allowing inspections to be carried out under full operational conditions. This means businesses do not need to halt production or disrupt operations for assessments. Ensuring continuous productivity without the need for downtime, thermal imaging helps maintain operational efficiency and profitability.
