What Is a Certified Infrared Thermographer?

A Certified Infrared Thermographer is a professional certified to operate thermal imaging equipment and interpret thermal data under a recognized standard. Infrared thermography certification follows a three-level progression established by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) and recognized by the Infraspection Institute, IPI Learning, and the Certified Infrared Thermographers Association (CITA). Each level represents a progressively higher degree of technical knowledge, field experience, and professional authority.

Level I Infrared Thermographer

A Level I Certified Infrared Thermographer is trained to operate infrared cameras, collect thermal data, and perform basic surveys under the direct supervision of a Level II or Level III thermographer. Level I thermographers are not authorized to independently interpret findings, write engineering evaluations, or issue reports. They perform data collection only.

Level II Certified Infrared Thermographer Miami

A Miami Level II Certified Infrared Thermographer is qualified to independently perform thermographic inspections, interpret thermal patterns and temperature anomalies, calibrate and set up IR equipment, and write thermography inspection reports. A Level II Certified Infrared Thermographer can supervise Level I personnel and issue reports for routine predictive-maintenance surveys and insurance inspections. A Level II thermographer is the minimum certification BORA accepts to perform the thermographic scan — but a Level II cannot, on their own, sign and seal a report as the engineer of record under Florida law. All Home Meters performs Level II thermography for clients who need routine predictive-maintenance surveys, insurance-carrier thermography, and annual NFPA 70B program scans that do not require a P.E. seal, all under the written practice and oversight of our Level III of record.

Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer

A Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer holds the highest professional designation in infrared thermography. A Level III is qualified to establish and review thermography programs, develop written practices and procedures, interpret complex thermal patterns, train and certify Level I and Level II personnel, and issue authoritative thermography evaluation reports. Level III certification requires advanced technical knowledge, documented on-the-job training hours, and passing comprehensive written and practical examinations administered by the certifying body. When a Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer is also a Florida Licensed Professional Engineer in the electrical field — as is the case with Armando Longueira, P.E. #67462, CIT® #19397 — the thermographer is additionally authorized to sign and seal the thermography report as the engineer of record. This is the highest level of thermography authority available in Florida, and it is the standard required by BORA for Miami-Dade 40-Year Building Recertification submissions.

Why an Electrical-Licensed Thermographer Matters

Not all thermographers are equal. When you search for a Certified Infrared Thermographer Miami building owners can rely on, the thermographer's licensing discipline is as decisive as the certification level — and for the electrical thermography that Miami-Dade recertification requires, the thermographer's licensing discipline matters as much as the certification level. The BORA-mandated scan is an electrical infrared inspection: panelboards, switchgear, transformers, and distribution equipment energized under load. Interpreting those thermal patterns correctly — distinguishing a benign reflection from a failing connection, judging whether a hot lug is a load artifact or a genuine fault — requires real electrical-systems knowledge, not just camera operation.

Many cities now reject thermographers who hold certifications in non-electrical fields, or who satisfy the experience requirement only through general (non-electrical) inspection work. Our Certified Infrared Thermographer of record is a Florida Professional Engineer licensed in electrical (P.E. #67462) — so the same person who operates the camera understands the power system being scanned, classifies each anomaly with engineering judgment, and seals the report. That combination of an electrical thermographer — an electrical P.E. who is also a Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer — in one professional is rare in South Florida, and it is exactly what BORA and commercial insurance carriers want to see.

Why BORA Requires a Certified Thermographer for Miami-Dade Recertification

The Board of Rules and Appeals (BORA) updated its infrared thermography guidelines in November 2021, establishing strict requirements for thermography performed as part of Miami-Dade County 40-Year Building Recertification. These requirements exist because infrared thermography of energized electrical equipment is a safety-critical inspection — incorrectly interpreted thermal images can result in missed fire hazards, incorrect equipment ratings, and failed building submissions. BORA's requirements for Miami-Dade recertification thermography include:

• More than five years of documented electrical-systems thermography field experience — the thermographer must demonstrate verifiable on-the-job training hours per ASNT or Infraspection Institute records.
• NIST-traceable calibrated infrared camera — calibration records must be current and available for review.
• P.E.-sealed thermography report — the report must be signed and sealed by a Florida Licensed Professional Engineer.
• Thermal and visual image pairs — all exception findings must include both an IR image and a corresponding visible-light photograph of the same equipment.
• Temperature differential data — all findings must include measured temperature differentials and emissivity values.

All Home Meters satisfies every one of these requirements. Our CIT® Level III certification, 4,000+ documented OJT hours, NIST-calibrated FLIR E-96, and P.E. seal from P.E. #67462 ensure that every report we issue is accepted on first submission at BORA and all Miami-Dade building departments.

Level II vs Level III Thermography — Which Do You Need?

The certification level required depends on the purpose of the inspection and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements for your specific application.

When Level III Thermography (with P.E. seal) Is Required

• Miami-Dade 40-Year Building Recertification (BORA) — P.E. seal required; performed under Level III oversight.
• Broward County Building Recertification — P.E. seal required; Level III strongly recommended.
• Milestone Inspection thermography component — P.E. seal required; Level III recommended.
• NFPA 70B formal program documentation — Level III recommended for program development and oversight.
• Insurance loss-control surveys, large commercial — Level III preferred by most major carriers.
• Legal and litigation support — Level III P.E.-sealed reports carry full evidentiary weight.

When Level II Thermography Is Sufficient

• Routine annual predictive-maintenance surveys — a Level II Certified Infrared Thermographer is acceptable for standard PdM programs.
• Insurance four-point thermography — Level II accepted by most residential and small-commercial carriers.
• Voluntary condition surveys — when no regulatory submission is required.
• NFPA 70B maintenance program execution — Level II can perform scheduled surveys under a Level III-developed program.

All Home Meters performs both Level II and Level III thermography. Contact us to confirm which level your specific application requires.

How to Verify a Certified Infrared Thermographer in Miami

Before hiring any Certified Infrared Thermographer, verify these four items — this is how BORA and Miami-Dade building officials evaluate the qualifications behind every submission:

1. Certification level and certifying body. Confirm the thermographer holds at least a Level II (ideally Level III) credential from a recognized body — Infraspection Institute (CIT®), ASNT, or ISO 18436-7. Infraspection CIT® certificates are verifiable by number through the Infraspection Institute registry (ours is CIT® #19397).
2. Electrical licensing discipline. For BORA electrical thermography, confirm the engineer of record is licensed in the electrical field. Verify the Florida P.E. on the Florida Board of Professional Engineers roster or MyFloridaLicense (ours is P.E. #67462).
3. Written Practice and documented OJT hours. ASNT SNT-TC-1A certification is employer-based — a certificate from a three-day course is not sufficient. Ask to see the Written Practice document and the documented on-the-job training hours by level.
4. Current NIST-traceable calibration. The thermal camera must have a current NIST-traceable calibration certificate. Ask for the calibration date (ours is current as of 12/09/2025).

Any qualified Certified Infrared Thermographer should provide all four when asked. We do.

Frequently Asked Questions — Certified Infrared Thermographer Miami

What is the difference between a Level II and a Level III infrared thermographer?

A Level II Certified Infrared Thermographer can independently perform inspections, interpret thermal anomalies, and write standard reports. A Level III holds the highest designation: they create the written practice and procedures, interpret complex results, and train and certify Level I and Level II personnel. At All Home Meters, our Level III supervises the firm's Level II thermographers and, as a Florida P.E. licensed in electrical, signs and seals every report.

Do I need a Level II or a Level III thermographer in Miami?

It depends on the application. Routine predictive maintenance and most insurance surveys accept a Level II Certified Infrared Thermographer. Miami-Dade 40-year recertification, milestone inspections, and large commercial loss-control surveys require a P.E.-sealed report, which means Level III oversight and an engineer of record. We provide both.

Why does the thermographer need to be licensed in electrical?

The BORA-mandated scan is an electrical infrared inspection of energized power equipment. Correctly interpreting those thermal patterns requires electrical-systems engineering knowledge, not just camera operation. A Certified Infrared Thermographer who is also a Florida P.E. licensed in electrical (P.E. #67462) operates the camera, classifies each anomaly with engineering judgment, and seals the report — and many cities now reject thermographers certified only in non-electrical fields.

Is a Level II thermographer enough for 40-year recertification in Miami-Dade?

A Level II meets BORA's minimum certification to perform the thermographic scan, but the recertification report must still be signed and sealed by a Florida Professional Engineer. At All Home Meters the inspection is performed under Level III oversight and sealed by P.E. #67462 — satisfying both requirements in one package.

Does All Home Meters have Level II thermographers on staff?

Yes. The firm employs in-staff Level II Certified Infrared Thermographers who operate under the written practice and supervision of our Level III of record, Armando Longueira, P.E. #67462, CIT® #19397.

How can I verify a thermographer's certification?

Infraspection Institute CIT® certifications are verifiable through the Infraspection Institute registry by certificate number (ours is CIT® #19397), and Florida P.E. licenses are verifiable on the Florida Board of Professional Engineers roster or MyFloridaLicense (P.E. #67462).

How many years of experience does BORA require?

BORA requires more than five years of documented commercial electrical-system thermography experience. Our Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer has 20+ years of experience and more than 4,000 documented OJT hours.

What certifying bodies are recognized for infrared thermography?

The recognized bodies are the Infraspection Institute (which issues the CIT® certification), the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT, which publishes SNT-TC-1A), IPI Learning, and the Certified Infrared Thermographers Association (CITA), along with the ISO 18436-7 international standard for condition-monitoring personnel. Our thermographer holds credentials across these standards.
