Thermal imaging is one of the most cost-effective ways to find hidden electrical issues before they lead to outages, downtime, or fire hazards. Bierlein-Trombley Electric provides professional thermal inspections across Mid-Michigan and Traverse City for offices, industrial sites, and commercial buildings.
Our certified electricians use advanced infrared scanning equipment to identify overheating components, loose connections, unbalanced loads, and failing electrical equipment that can’t be seen during a standard visual inspection. Thermal imaging allows us to evaluate energized systems without disrupting operations, making it ideal for preventive maintenance and safety assessments. By detecting issues early, BTE Electric helps facility managers reduce risk, avoid unexpected failures, and plan repairs before minor problems become costly emergencies.
