How Often Should You Schedule Infrared Testing for Your Electrical System?

Preventive maintenance is key to keeping your facility safe and operational — and infrared

testing is one of the easiest ways to spot hidden electrical problems before they turn into

major failures.

But how often should you schedule a thermal inspection?

For most commercial and industrial properties, annual infrared testing is recommended —

especially for buildings with high electrical loads, aging infrastructure, or insurance

requirements. In critical facilities like hospitals or labs, twice-a-year inspections may be

needed.

At PECO, we offer flexible testing schedules that align with NFPA guidelines and insurance

carrier expectations. A simple scan today could prevent costly repairs or downtime

tomorrow.
