Protect your premises with professional thermal imaging
Thermal imaging is used to detect and visualise heat emitted by electrical switchboards, cables or equipment. At Test and Tag Sydney Wide, we use thermal imaging technology to help you prevent an electrical fault from occurring at your premises.
We send highly skilled technicians to conduct thorough testing. Contact us to schedule a visit from an accredited thermal imaging technician.
What is thermal imaging for workplaces?
As the load on a device or the current within an electrical circuit increases, so does the heat produced.
Thermal imaging captures evidence of this heat, enabling our technicians to pinpoint areas that are either hotter than they should be, which may be putting your business and people’s lives at risk.
Keep your team safe at work
Our technicians will visit your premises to take thermal images of electrical switchboards and other equipment. They conduct comprehensive thermal imaging using specialist equipment.
Think of this technology like a crystal ball for safety at your workplace and as an effective way to prevent serious incidents from occurring.

Thermal imaging FAQs
No, thermal imaging is carried out while your building is operating under normal conditions, so there is no need to disrupt the power supply during the test.
A qualified thermal technician is certified by the Australian Institute for Nondestructive Testing (AINDT). Thermographic scans are performed by individuals trained in infrared thermography (IRT) at Category 1, 2, or 3 levels.
The duration of a thermal imaging inspection depends on the size and complexity of your electrical systems and the number of switchboards that need testing. We can provide an estimate when you book.
Thermal imaging is conducted using specialised infrared cameras that capture heat signatures. These cameras detect temperature variations in electrical components, allowing technicians to identify potential issues such as overheating, loose connections or overloaded circuits.
While it's possible to purchase thermal imaging devices, proper interpretation of the results requires professional expertise. Certified technicians are trained to detect issues and assess risks accurately, ensuring safety and compliance. Without the right knowledge, DIY thermal imaging could miss critical problems. What’s more, your business insurance may be void if you do not use professional services for thermal imaging.
A hot spot refers to an area within your electrical system that is significantly warmer than it should be. Hot spots can indicate potential issues such as loose connections, overloading or failing components. Early detection of hotspots and other problems through thermal imaging can help prevent fires and costly electrical issues.
No, thermal imaging is not compulsory in NSW, but many insurance companies now require it as part of their policy conditions.
If any issues are detected during the thermal imaging inspection, you will be informed immediately. Your Test and Tag Sydney Wide report will advise on the recommended repairs or maintenance to resolve the problem, helping to prevent further damage or electrical failures.
