Benefits of Infrared Inspections Contacting Southwest Thermal Solutions, to perform your independent certified infrared inspections makes economic sense, regardless of the size or operation of your facility. Over the years it has consistently shown unprecedented (ROI) returns on investment. According to The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company, for every dollar you spend on certified infrared inspections there is a $4 (ROI) return on investment for materials and labor from fixing the problem before it fails. This ratio is closer to $1 to $20 if loss to production, spoilage, labor, extra expenses, etc. is considered.
- Lower Insurance Rates:
Reducing your loss prevention cost helps reduce insurance rates. Insurance companies recognize infrared inspections as a means for reducing loss prevention cost. Many insurance companies recommend or require you to schedule annual infrared inspections. Some insurance companies will reduce annual premiums if periodic certified infrared inspections are conducted.
- Acceptance Testing:
You will find numerous problems in newly installed equipment due to installation oversights, factory connections, and faulty components. Each time a piece of equipment is repaired or a new component is brought on-line, your infrared inspection is the perfect tool to ensure its proper operation and give you the proper documentation to act upon warranty issues. Such a simple infrared inspection will provide your company with tremendous gains in quality and reliability and, therefore (ROI) profits.
- Increase Energy Conservation:
The Building Owners and Managers Association estimates that energy cost accounts for about 30 percent of your operating budgets for commercial and industrial facilities. Energy cost is your largest budget controllable cost item. Infrared inspections of your building envelopes will pinpoint hot / cold air infiltration, wet insulation, missing insulation and water infiltration. Reduce your heating and air conditioning cost; increase your energy efficiency and your client/customer comfort
- Reduce Unscheduled Downtime / Reduce Maintenance Cost
The more efficient your company is at producing a product, the higher your profit margins will be. This places a great demand on reliable utilities and reliable equipment. Whenever there is an interruption in one or both of these, efficiency drops and so does your profits.

As you are probably aware, these losses can vary from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars per hour, and sometimes even higher.
