We have the technology to detect electrical problems before they cost you.
An overheating connection, an overloaded panel, a hidden defect: CTI Électrique performs electrical thermography, visual inspections and load measurement campaigns for property managers, condo boards and condominium buildings.
Most serious electrical problems make no noise before they fail. A slowly overheating connection, a panel under abnormal load, a circuit at its limit: nothing shows, until the day it breaks down.
CTI Électrique uses a thermal imaging camera to detect heat anomalies that a standard inspection can’t catch. It’s the kind of inspection insurers ask for, real estate buyers require, and every property manager or condo board should have on hand.
Do you manage a building, a co-ownership or condos? Depending on what you need to know (an insurer requirement, the remaining capacity of your electrical service or the cause of a recurring failure), we choose the right method, or combine them.
An electrician opens the panels, junction boxes and distribution equipment to check the actual condition of the installation: tightness of connections, signs of overheating or corrosion, breaker and conductor sizing, grounding and Code compliance.
A good starting point to assess a building, before taking over its management or buying it, or as a complement to a thermography inspection.
We install electrical metering equipment for load assessment: data loggers connected to your electrical service or panels for a one- to two-week measurement campaign. You get the building’s actual consumption, its peaks and any imbalance between phases.
It’s the basis for knowing whether there is capacity left before adding EV chargers, heat pumps or new equipment. Our instruments are also used to find the cause of an intermittent failure, locate an underground cable or test insulation.
Insurers increasingly require electrical thermography, especially for rental buildings, condominiums and commercial buildings.
Using an infrared camera, we inspect the panels, the electrical service and the equipment while they run under load to spot hot spots: a loose connection, a worn breaker, an overloaded circuit. Each anomaly is documented in a report you can send to your insurer.
Everything starts with an on-site visit with you or your maintenance manager. We survey the installations: number of panels and pieces of equipment to inspect, access to electrical rooms, occupants’ schedules and constraints. This visit lets us prepare an accurate quote for the thermography.
We come back on the agreed date. The building must run normally, ideally at its usual load or higher: hot spots show up at connections under load. We coordinate access with you to disturb occupants as little as possible.
You receive a clear report, ready to hand to your insurer, your board of directors or your condo association. A minor problem can often be fixed on the spot. For the rest, the report includes a concrete action plan, with priorities and a cost estimate for the work.
Why a thermography quote isn’t free from the start. Every building is different: number of panels, electrical rooms, access, occupants’ schedules. Without a survey visit, there is no honest way to estimate the scope of the job. We’d rather come on site, see your installations and give you a fair price than an approximate figure over the phone. The terms of the survey visit are confirmed with you before we travel.
An inspection that pays for itself. When production stops, the costs far exceed those of regular maintenance of your systems. Thanks to our thermography inspections, we have notably been able to prevent an elevator breakdown, a power outage affecting more than 30 units in a residence for independent seniors, and an outage at a medical supplies distribution center.
Was your building built in the 1990s? It’s due for a complete inspection.
Electrical installations have a lifespan. Past a certain point, it’s no longer a question of “if” something will fail, but “when”.
After the inspection, you leave with a clear maintenance plan, not just a report you don’t know what to do with. If you have in-house electricians, we guide them. If you’re managing on your own, we stay available.
The risk is real, and it grows every year you wait. You don’t have to carry it alone.
We take care of everything
No double invoices, no double suppliers. If we find a problem during the inspection, we estimate the costs and act quickly, with no additional delay.
A local team, not a call centre
You speak directly with Kevin and his team. Not with a dispatcher relaying your messages to someone else.
Clear prices before we start
Every project starts with a detailed quote. For thermography, it is prepared after the survey visit, so the price truly matches your building. You know exactly what you’re paying before we touch anything.
Industry standards respected
Valid RBQ licence, commercial general liability insurance, warranty on all work performed.
Excellent service from start to finish. A competent team, good communication and clean, careful work. I highly recommend them and already have!
Very professional and courteous service, impeccable work. We are a group of three friends who all used their services and we were all equally satisfied.
They take the time to check everything before starting the work and are transparent, clearly explaining each step and what to consider.
