Infrared Thermography Electrical Inspections in Cumming, Georgia

Most electrical problems give off heat before they fail completely. A loose connection, overloaded circuit, or failing breaker generates heat — sometimes for months before a fire starts. You can’t see this heat with your eyes, but an infrared thermography camera can. This technology allows us to scan your electrical panel, outlets, switches, and even behind walls to find hot spots that indicate hidden problems. It’s completely non-invasive, no holes in your walls, and no power shutdown required. This is the same technology used by commercial facilities and industrial plants to prevent electrical fires and costly downtime. Now, Rob Ingram’s Freestyle Lighting and Electrical brings it to homeowners in Cumming and all of North Georgia.

Our infrared inspection goes far beyond what a visual inspection can find. We scan your main panel, subpanels, breakers, connections, and even individual circuits if needed. We provide you with a detailed report showing thermal images of any problems we find, along with recommendations for repair. This service is especially valuable for homeowners with older panels, homes that have experienced a lightning strike, or anyone who wants peace of mind that their electrical system is safe. We also offer infrared inspections as part of any other service call at a discounted rate. Call us today and see what’s really happening inside your walls.

Why Choose Rob Ingram's Freestyle for Infrared Thermography Inspections?

Not every electrician owns a thermal imaging camera, and even fewer know how to interpret the images correctly. We’ve invested in professional-grade Flir thermal cameras and have extensive training in electrical thermography. We can distinguish between normal heat (like a breaker under heavy load) and dangerous heat (like a loose connection about to fail). Our reports are clear, detailed, and useful — not just a collection of colorful images. And we always combine infrared inspections with a physical panel inspection for a complete picture of your electrical health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Infrared Thermography Inspections

A: For most homes, every 3 to 5 years is sufficient. If your home is over 20 years old, has a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, or has experienced electrical issues, we recommend yearly inspections.

A: Infrared cameras measure surface temperature. If a hot spot behind drywall is hot enough, it will warm the drywall surface, and the camera can detect it. This is how we find hidden wiring problems without cutting holes.

A: No. Infrared inspections are performed with everything running normally. We need circuits to be under load to find hot spots, so we'll ask you to turn on lights, appliances, and HVAC during the scan.

A: A typical residential inspection takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of panels and circuits. You'll receive your thermal report within 24 to 48 hours.
