ThermaSight SydneyHome switchboard scans
Peace of mind for older homes, recent renovations, EV charger and solar installs, or anyone who's noticed flickering lights, warm switches or a burning smell.
Your Sydney-based, trusted thermal imaging company
Electrical thermal imaging in Sydney
We scan your switchboards and electrical equipment with an infrared camera to find loose connections, overloaded circuits and failing parts while they're still just running hot, before they trip, arc or start a fire.

- Fast turnaround on reports
- No power shutdown needed
What a thermal scan finds
Electrical faults almost always produce heat before they fail. A thermal camera makes that heat visible without opening anything up or switching anything off.
Loose connections
Terminals that have worked loose over time create resistance and heat, a leading cause of switchboard fires.
Overloaded circuits
Circuits carrying more than they should, often after renovations, new appliances or added equipment.
Failing breakers and RCDs
Protective devices that are wearing out and may not trip when they need to.
Phase imbalance
Uneven loads across three-phase supplies that stress cables, motors and equipment.
Watch: 55 seconds
How thermal imaging works
See real switchboard scans from our inspections. A main switch that looks normal to the eye shows a connection running at 62.1°C, 24°C hotter than the one beside it. A healthy home board stays even at under 30°C.
- Everything gives off infrared heat that the camera turns into a temperature map
- Hotspots point to loose, worn or overloaded connections before they fail
- Scans are done live, with no shutdown and nothing taken apart

We scan under load
With everything running normally, we open the switchboard covers and capture thermal and standard photos of each component. No shutdown required.
You get the report
A clear report with every finding, its temperature, a severity rating and a recommended action.
Fix and re-check
Use your own electrician or have Switch in Time Electrical make the repairs, then we re-scan to confirm the fault is gone.

Frequently asked questions
What does electrical thermal imaging find?
It shows heat that shouldn't be there: loose or corroded connections, overloaded circuits, failing breakers, unbalanced phases and damaged components. These faults usually run hot long before they trip, arc or start a fire.
Do you need to turn the power off?
No. Scans are done with the system running under normal load, because faults only show up when current is flowing. There's no downtime for your home or business.
How long does a thermal scan take?
A typical home switchboard takes under an hour on site. Commercial and industrial sites depend on the number of boards and equipment. We'll confirm the time when you book.
How often should a business get a thermal scan?
Many insurers and maintenance plans ask for a yearly scan of electrical switchboards and critical equipment. High-load or older sites often benefit from more frequent checks.
Can you fix the problems you find?
Yes. ThermaSight Sydney works alongside Switch in Time Electrical, so licensed electricians can quote and repair any faults found, then we re-scan to confirm the fix.
Which areas of Sydney do you cover?
All of greater Sydney, including the CBD, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Hills District, Parramatta, Western Sydney, Sutherland Shire and South West Sydney.
