Fixed wiring, portable appliances and machinery need to be regularly inspected to avoid overheating or insulation failure which, if left unchecked, could cause a fire. Cold spots, cracks and air leaks also need to be carefully managed to prevent possible losses.
That’s where using a thermographic camera can really make a difference. It converts heat radiation into visible images to show heat patterns. Our property risk consultants are equipped with thermal imaging technology and are trained so that they can help identify both hot and cold spots as part of our risk survey. Any potential issues will be highlighted and included in the survey report.
How does thermographic imaging help?

Allowing us to decide what further investigations or action is necessary
