We see all sorts of electrical connections. Some are residential panels, some are large commercial transformers and electrical main breakers. Many of these connections were not made by us, but have been in place for many years. How do we know if a connection is any good? Well sometimes we can look at it and we can tell, but not always. Sometimes we rely on technology that has been improving and has become available to us every day. Thermal imaging is transforming the way we diagnose problems
The photos below show what happens to a long-term loose connection after time and use. Thermal Imaging detects temperature changes in electrical components in infrastructure. The thermal scan in this photo shows that most of this breaker is high in temperature which is incredibly dangerous. In fact, this particular connect failed and nearly caused a fire. This is why we offer Free Thermal Scans here at Ready Set Power. We wish to keep you and your family safe from electrical outages and fires.
There are still so many old breaker boxes still in use all over the Houston area. If your panel is 10 years old or older, or if your breakers are tripping on a regular basis, please call us. We can inspect your system using our thermal scanner. If it’s time for a new breaker box, we can help.
