Volume 3  Issue 9  September 2014

Director’s Message

The ever-increasing awareness of thermography causes many to consider offering infrared inspection services through new or existing business ventures. In general, the time has never been better than the present for starting an infrared consulting business or adding infrared inspection services to an existing company’s services.

The advent of lower cost technology has increased the number of commercial thermal imagers being offered while reducing the cost for same. This, combined with a greater awareness of the technology, has served to increase the demand for infrared inspection services.

During the past two years, the lower cost for infrared imagers and software has been an inducement for many large companies to purchase equipment; it has also attracted a number of entrepreneurs to the industry. Despite the fact that infrared equipment has become cheaper and the number of infrared consultants has increased, there remains a shortage of experienced, competent thermographers. From all market indications, this shortage of quality thermographers should provide favorable business opportunities for the next several years.

Prior to offering infrared inspection services, one should consider the following for your intended market area:
  • Current demand for infrared inspection services
  • Present competitive offerings and pricing
  • Company’s strengths and current services
  • Types of infrared inspections to be offered
  • How new services will be marketed
Lastly, once a decision has been made to offer infrared inspection services, thermographers should obtain quality training and certification before they purchase infrared inspection equipment.


Washington Approves Level I Course for Home Inspectors
