Why is switchboard thermal imaging important for body corporates and strata-managed properties?

body corporates and strata-managed properties typically run high, sustained electrical loads — exactly the conditions that surface latent switchboard faults. Thermal imaging finds these before they cause downtime, equipment damage or fire.

Is the inspection disruptive?

No — scans are performed live, under load. No shutdown required. The provider opens accessible panels with appropriate PPE.

How often should we schedule inspections?

Annually is the most common interval; higher-risk operations often schedule every 6 months. Confirm with your insurer.

How do you arrange access through a strata manager?

The provider liaises directly with the strata or building manager to arrange access and notify residents if required.

Is the report suitable for the body corporate's insurer?

Yes — reports are produced in the standard insurance-ready format with thermographer credentials, photos and severity ratings.

Do you cover sites Australia-wide?

Yes — we connect you with licensed providers in every capital city and most regional areas.

Why It Matters

Body corporate insurance policies often require periodic thermal imaging of common-area switchboards. A current report can support premiums and is critical evidence in the event of a claim. Scheduled switchboard thermal imaging is one of the most cost-effective preventative measures available for body corporates and strata-managed properties — and it's a documented record of due diligence for insurers.

Why body corporates and strata-managed properties need switchboard thermal imaging

Body corporate switchboards are often a mix of original installation and decades of progressive additions — lifts, car-park ventilation, hot water, EV charging, common-area lighting and amenities — feeding common-property loads continuously. That history is exactly what produces the loose terminations, undersized connections and uneven phase loading that switchboard thermal imaging is best at catching.

Insurance and maintenance reasons for body corporates and strata-managed properties

Common-property insurance for strata-managed buildings increasingly references switchboard thermal imaging as part of demonstrating active risk management. A current report supports the committee in discussions with insurers and brokers, and is a documented record of due diligence on common electrical assets.

What the switchboard thermal imaging report typically covers for body corporates and strata-managed properties

Body corporate reports typically cover the main building switchboard, common-area distribution boards, plant room boards (lift, hydraulic, fire) and any car-park / EV charging sub-boards. Findings include thermal and visible-light photos, ΔT values, severity ratings and recommended remedial actions.
