Infrared Thermography Inspection Miami — Level III P.E. & NIST-Calibrated FLIR E96.

Every energized part emits infrared radiation, and it emits more as it heats up. A loose lug or overloaded conductor runs hot long before it trips or burns, while trapped water and missing insulation read cool. A calibrated infrared camera turns that invisible heat into real-time thermal images, so a certified thermographer can uncover hidden electrical safety issues across your property and read surface temperature from a safe distance — flagging a developing fault while it is still cheap to fix. All Home Meters delivers this work P.E.-sealed by Armando Longueira, P.E. #67462, a Florida Licensed Professional Engineer and Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer (CIT® #19397).

What a Thermal Survey Detects.

A thermographic survey is non-invasive — nothing is opened, drilled, or shut down, and it detects what a walk-through cannot. On the electrical side, resistive heating from loose connections, corroded lugs, and overloaded circuits shows up as hot spots against cooler, healthy parts — temperature differences a sensitive camera resolves in seconds. On the building side, the same patterns expose moisture intrusion as cold spots, water damage behind finishes, envelope heat loss, and saturated roof insulation that holds warmth after sunset. Each finding is a radiometric thermal image with an emissivity value and a reflected-value correction. Used on a schedule, this technique is one of the most cost-effective tools for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, because it catches the slow heat rise that precedes most equipment failures and hidden problems.

Why Owners Choose Us for Infrared Thermography Inspection Miami.

Most providers shoot with weak, low-resolution cameras, skip a formal Written Practice, and carry expired certs — so their reports get rejected by the County's Board of Rules and Appeals (BORA), insurance carriers, and building officials. We remove that gamble: the highest infrared thermography credential available, a Professional Engineer's seal on every report, and a NIST-traceable instrument that helps ensure your property passes the first time. We catch the issues that fail an inspection — electrical issues, moisture issues, and insulation issues — before they turn into safety problems.

Types of Thermal Surveys We Perform.

Our principal is a certified infrared thermographer qualified for every category of the method. Our specialty is electrical infrared inspection for recertification, and we deliver complete thermal imaging scans and inspection services for the electrical systems, mechanical systems, and distribution systems across South Florida.

Electrical scanning for recertification.

Radiometric scans of panels, switchgear, transformers, and busways on services rated 400 A and up — the scan mandated for 40-, 30-, and 25-year recertification, delivered P.E.-sealed with full NFPA 70B classification.

Moisture and roof scanning.

Infrared imaging maps the anomalies of water intrusion trapped in walls, ceilings, and roof insulation, pinpointing leaks and damage without destructive testing — ideal for leak diagnosis and post-storm review and intrusion mapping for any residential or commercial building.

Mechanical and envelope scanning.

The scan finds overheating motors and bearings for predictive and preventive maintenance, and reveals air leakage and missing insulation across hard-to-reach areas of the envelope for energy audits.

Equipment BORA Requires in Every Electrical Scan.

Under County Code 8-11(f) and the BORA Infrared Thermography Guidelines (approved November 18, 2021), every service rated 400 amperes and up must be scanned with high-definition equipment by a thermographer with five-plus years of commercial electrical experience. Our scope covers panelboards (excluding individual dwelling-unit load centers), motor control centers, control panels, transfer switches, transformers, switchgear, bus ducts, meter centers, disconnects, variable-frequency drives, and the grounding system.

When a Thermal Survey Becomes Mandatory.

In Miami-Dade County, Section 8-11(f) makes a scan mandatory for any building with a 400-ampere service or larger undergoing 40- or 30-year recertification, with a 25-year trigger within three miles of the coast; the report must be P.E.-signed and performed by a BORA-approved thermographer. The statewide Milestone Inspection program adds a scan to the electrical portion for residential condominium and cooperative buildings three habitable stories or taller. And NFPA 70B 2023 changed thermal imaging from recommended to required — every 12 months for standard gear, every 6 months for poor-condition or critical assets — a cadence insurance carriers now expect before issuing commercial property coverage.

The Risk of an Uncertified Thermographer.

A cheap scan that gets rejected is the most expensive one you can buy. Weak cameras can't resolve small targets, so hot spots get logged as normal until failure. Poor sensitivity buries early heating. An expired cert is grounds for outright rejection. And a three-day course is not Level II certification: ASNT SNT-TC-1A needs an employer-based credential under a formal Written Practice — and our independent ISO 18436-7 Category 3 adds an internationally recognized benchmark on top.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Is a thermographic inspection mandatory for recertification?

Yes. The County mandates this infrared inspection for any 400-ampere service or larger undergoing 40-, 30-, or 25-year recertification, performed under engineering oversight. Broward County building departments apply the same thermal imaging scans to their Milestone reviews, and our inspection services cover both counties.

Does it require shutting off power?

No — the opposite. Equipment must be energized and ideally under 40% load or more, because shutting down removes the thermal signal needed to find faults. We work to NFPA 70E arc-flash safety protocols.

What is the difference between Level I, II, and III?

Level I collects data; Level II analyzes, classifies, and reports under that practice; Level III writes the practice, oversees field hours, and provides engineering judgment. The County needs Level II minimum; we operate with full P.E. oversight.

Are the reports accepted by insurance carriers?

Yes — they carry the infrared frame, a matched photo, emissivity, the ΔT value, the NFPA 70B class, and P.E.-sealed recommendations, the format expected by FM Global, Zurich, and Hartford.
