Comprehensive Infrared Services

Thermographic stator core loop testing, also called interlamination insulation testing, is performed during heating the stator via induction from a mobile generator.

Infrared services may be single site inspections or multi-phase infrared inspections to evaluate pre-rebuild condition, after core loop removal and cleaning, and post-rebuild infrared scanning prior to placing the stator back in service.

Imaging With High-Resolution FLIR Technology

All infrared imaging is performed with a high-resolution FLIR T660 480x640 infrared camera. Both still infrared images and infrared video recordings are all radiometric to allow for post-processing and detailed temperature evaluation.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Greg

We got the report last night. Thanks for sending it so quickly. Again, I cannot tell you how exciting it was to see all the data you generated for us and how grateful I was for the bits of knowledge you provided; all that is going to be very helpful as the guys start work on the house.

Marcia

This is so amazing! Thanks so much, Flemming. Will go over a couple more times and think on it and revert back with any questions. At the moment I think you covered everything.

Mike

Flemming called me back in a very timely manner with a proposed service date. Upon calling him back, we confirmed and he arrived on time even though our home is outside of his usual area. He got right to work, made suggestions and pointed things out to me.

Matt

Had Flemming do the energy inspection on our 130+ year old house. He did a wonderful job explaining what he found telling me about what he would suggest. When we remodeled a year or so later we incorporated many of his recommendations into the work.

Orest

This is an excellent vendor. Flemming was punctual, professional and very thorough. He returns calls, arrives at the job promptly, and he did an excellent job evaluating my home.

Lori

Flemming Lund performed an infrared audit of my home. He provided a detail report with color photos and recommendations. The report provided was extremely detailed and it ended up being invaluable for the insulation work I ended up doing with another vendor.

Thank you so much for the very quick and very informative report! I both enjoyed and learned a lot from you yesterday.
