Advanced Infrared Heat Detection
Vanguard Compliance uses advanced infrared heat-detection technology to conduct non-invasive thermal imaging surveys. These surveys identify potentially dangerous electrical faults before they become serious problems — enabling timely remedial action and significantly reducing the risk of electrical fire.
Regular testing and inspection of electrical circuits is essential to ensure compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and other regulatory requirements. Thermal imaging provides a fast, non-destructive way to meet those obligations while protecting your building and its occupants.
What the Camera Sees
A thermal survey reveals what a visual inspection cannot. Hover over the image below — or tap on a touchscreen — to switch between the standard and thermal view of the same panel.
Key Benefits
- Zero Downtime — no need to power down or isolate any part of your electrical systems during the survey
- Non-Destructive — eliminates the need to open walls, ceilings, or access panels
- Comprehensive Detection — precisely locates and records hotspots, areas of heat loss, and temperature variations
- Weather Independent — surveys can be carried out in all weather conditions, all year round
- Early Warning System — identifies hidden issues that could lead to electrical fires before they become emergencies
- Detailed Documentation — full written and photographic report of all findings
What the Survey Covers
Infrared thermal imaging cameras create detailed digital records of temperature anomalies throughout the building structure, supporting fire safety, electrical integrity, and energy efficiency maintenance.
- Switchgear, distribution boards and consumer units
- Busbar systems and cable tray runs
- Motor control centres and industrial equipment
- Building fabric for heat loss and insulation failure
- Underfloor heating systems
- Roof structures and envelope surveys
Who Needs a Thermal Imaging Survey?
Commercial property owners and portfolio managers
Landlords with large or complex electrical installations
Businesses with ageing electrical infrastructure
Sites subject to insurance requirements or regular compliance audits
Any business wanting to reduce the risk of fire caused by electrical faults
Did you know? The majority of electrical fires are caused by faults that could have been detected early with a thermal imaging survey. It is one of the most cost-effective safety measures available.
