Infrared thermography inspections in Miami

See thermal conditions that ordinary photographs do not show

Infrared thermography records surface temperature patterns that can help identify electrical conditions needing further attention. Genesis Fortune scopes infrared inspections around the accessible equipment, operating conditions, property priorities, and required reporting.

Owners and facility teams can use thermal findings to prioritize investigation and maintenance. The inspection should be planned around equipment access, operating loads, and site coordination. An infrared image is evidence of a condition observed at a particular time; it is not a complete diagnosis of every possible electrical fault.

Electrical panels, distribution equipment, and accessible systems

The scope can cover agreed electrical equipment such as panels and distribution equipment where safe access and suitable operating conditions are available. Equipment identification and an inventory help define what will be inspected and reported.

Access and opening of electrical equipment must be coordinated with qualified personnel and the site’s safety requirements. An inspection does not authorize unsafe access, and operating conditions may limit the usefulness of thermal observations. Equipment that cannot be inspected should be identified as a limitation rather than assumed to have no issues.

What an infrared inspection report can include

Depending on the engagement, reporting can include equipment identification, visible and infrared images, observed thermal anomalies, measured information, operating conditions, limitations, and recommended next steps. Findings should be organized so the owner and service team can identify the equipment involved.

A hot spot may lead to further inspection, maintenance, repair, or engineering review. The report’s recommendations do not replace the work of the qualified contractor carrying out corrective actions. A follow-up inspection may be appropriate after repairs or when operating conditions change.

Thermography for building recertification

Infrared inspection can be a supporting part of an electrical recertification scope. Miami-Dade’s published guidance includes thermography on electrical systems operating at 400 amperes or greater. Review the current program and specific property requirements with the applicable authority.

Thermography and the broader electrical recertification assessment remain different services. The engineering proposal should identify equipment coverage, reporting requirements, coordination with the recertification professional, and whether follow-up work is included.

Preventive maintenance and existing electrical concerns

Facility managers may request thermography as part of a preventive maintenance program or when they want documented thermal observations of existing equipment. Equipment lists, existing one-line diagrams, and prior inspection reports can help define the work.

Thermography is not a substitute for a load-capacity study, conductor survey, protective-device analysis, or full electrical redesign. If the property has questions about new loads or distribution changes, those can be assessed under a separate engineering scope.

Request an infrared inspection proposal

Send the property address, equipment list or number of panels, available electrical drawings, purpose of the inspection, access constraints, and preferred timing. Identify whether the work supports recertification or a maintenance program.

We review equipment coverage and site coordination to prepare a proposal. Pricing is based on the defined scope; no generic starting price is displayed. Genesis Fortune serves Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe County property teams.
