Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is thermal imaging used for in electrical inspections?

    Thermal imaging detects heat anomalies in electrical systems that aren't visible to the naked eye. It is commonly used to identify overloaded circuits, loose connections, faulty wiring and hotspots in switchboards — all of which can pose serious safety risks if left undetected.

  • How often should a property have a thermal imaging inspection?

    For residential properties, a thermal imaging inspection every few years is generally recommended, or ahead of a major renovation or property purchase. Commercial properties with higher electrical loads benefit from more frequent inspections as part of a routine maintenance programme.

  • Is thermal imaging inspection disruptive to my property?

    Thermal imaging is a non-invasive process — there is no need to open walls or disconnect systems during the scan. Inspections are carried out quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption to occupants or business operations.

Thermal Imaging & Scanning

Traditional electrical inspections can only identify faults that are already visible — thermal imaging goes further, detecting heat signatures that indicate developing issues inside walls, ceilings and switchboards long before they become failures. Ralph Ottmann Electrical combines thermal scanning with comprehensive electrical testing to give Sunshine Coast homes and businesses a complete picture of their electrical health. Our licensed technicians work efficiently and accurately, providing clear findings and practical recommendations. Our thermal imaging services include:



  • Detection of overloaded circuits & faulty wiring
