Thermal Imaging Inspections for Auckland Commercial Sites
A loose connection heats up long before it fails. The Conduction Company scans commercial switchboards, distribution boards, and plant with a thermal camera while everything stays running, then reports on what we found and what it needs.
Are You Experiencing Problems with Overheating Switchboards?
Heat is the first thing a failing connection produces, and the failure itself usually arrives as an unplanned outage rather than a warning. Breakers trip on site with no obvious cause, a board smells hot or shows discoloured terminations, and work stops when a connection finally lets go. Meanwhile an ageing board sits unopened for years, loads get added over time with no check on what the board carries, and plant and motors run hot with nothing ever measured, so there is no way to plan electrical repairs, only react to them. The one thing that would settle it is an inspection, and that is the thing a site which cannot be shut down cannot have.
The Conduction Company scans commercial switchboards, distribution boards, and plant with a thermal camera while the site keeps running, reports what was found and where, then does the remedial work and certifies it.
Thermal Imaging Services for Commercial Sites
The Conduction Company scans switchboards, distribution boards, and connected plant at Auckland commercial sites, and finds the terminations running hotter than they should before they fail. It is an electrical inspection rather than a building survey, and the board stays live and loaded throughout, so nothing on site has to be switched off.
Can you scan a switchboard without shutting the site down?
Yes. The Conduction Company scans live switchboards and distribution boards under normal load, so nothing gets switched off and nothing gets dismantled.
The scan needs the board live and loaded to show a true picture. The camera finds the terminations, breakers, and connections running hotter than they should.
That is how thermal imaging finds faults before they fail, while a repair can still be booked.
Can you scan motors, drives, and plant?
Yes. The Conduction Company scans the electrical side of motors, drives, and the connected plant your site depends on.
Like a switchboard scan, it runs with the equipment working under load, looking for heat where there should not be any. Where the plant only runs under load outside the working day, the scan is booked for then. Anything it finds goes into the same report as the boards.
What do you get after a thermal imaging scan?
A report. The Conduction Company reports what the scan found, where it found it, and what we recommend doing about it.
A scan is only useful if someone tells you what it means. The report lets you plan the work rather than react to it, which is the difference between a booked repair and an unplanned outage.
Who fixes what the scan finds?
The Conduction Company does the remedial work on anything the scan turns up, and certifies it.
A report that tells you to call someone else is half a service. The Conduction Company employs registered electricians and a registered Electrical Inspector, so the scan, the repair, and the certificate come from one company.
What is a thermal imaging inspection for?
The Conduction Company uses thermal imaging for electrical inspection. It looks at switchboards, distribution boards, connections, and plant for heat where there should not be any.
It is not a moisture, leak, or roof survey, and it is not a building survey. We are electrical contractors, and this is an electrical inspection service.
Can thermal imaging be done on a schedule?
Yes. The Conduction Company sets up thermal imaging on a schedule for sites that want problems found before they happen.
Boards change over time as the loads on them change.
Can thermal imaging be done outside trading hours?
Yes. The Conduction Company books thermal imaging outside a client's trading hours where that gets a truer picture or causes less disruption.
A scan needs the site running under load, and that is not always during the working day.
What affects the cost of a thermal imaging inspection?
The Conduction Company prices a thermal imaging inspection after knowing what is on site. The cost depends on how many boards and how much plant there is, how big the site is, whether the scan has to happen outside trading hours, and whether you want a one-off scan or a schedule.
We quote on facts, not guesses.
Before we give you a price, we carry out a proper assessment of your site and how you'll use the inspection.
That way you know exactly what you're buying and the total cost, with no surprises.
Clear expectations from the outset, start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to shut the site down for a thermal scan?
No, and that is the point of it. The board has to be live and under load for the scan to show anything, so The Conduction Company works with your site running normally. Nothing gets dismantled either.
What does a thermal camera actually find?
Heat where there should not be any. Loose terminations, overloaded circuits, failing breakers, and connections that have relaxed over time. The Conduction Company scans for those before they turn into an outage or a fire.
Can you fix what you find?
Yes. The Conduction Company does the remedial work and certifies it, so the inspection and the repair come from one company rather than two.
How often should a commercial board be scanned?
It depends on the site, the age of the board, and how much the loads change. The Conduction Company will tell you what makes sense for your installation rather than sell you a schedule you do not need.
