Welcome to ConnectIR™!


ConnectIR™ is the infrared industry’s first electrical infrared bidding website.  Our service “connects” people who need electrical infrared (IR) inspection services and surveys with qualified infrared thermographic service contractors.  ConnectIR™ is operated by United Infrared Inc., the world’s largest network of infrared thermographer contractors.  ConnectIR™ provides the client peace of mind as well as saving them a great deal of time and money by providing a list of providers as well as pricing and qualification information.  The fees are paid by the thermographers, so this service is free to the clients!  For thermographers, ConnectIR™ is an effective and inexpensive means of reaching electrical infrared clients with immediate needs. 

ConnectIR™ Explained

When a thermographer enters ConnectIR™, they create an account and a profile which outlines their qualifications in accordance with the questions asked in the job specification such as years of experience, hours of training, imager resolution, etc.  When a potential electrical infrared client enters ConnectIR™, they create an account and a unique job specification. The specifications include insurance requirements, facility size, number of electrical panels to be inspected, training requirements, imager resolution, etc.


When the client submits their job specification, ConnectIR™ algorithms search the database of registered thermographers and sends the client’s RFP to contractors whose profiles match the customers’ requirements most closely. Those qualified thermographers are sent the RFP so that they may submit a price or bid on the job.  The contractors have a period of 3 days to place their bid.  During that time, the customer will receive notification when bids are placed and may look at the bid, as well as the profile of the service provider.  At the end of the 3-day bidding period, the client may view all of the bids placed and either accept or reject the bids. At this point, the client may view details of the thermographer to review their qualification information.  Upon selecting a contractor, the client may return to the “View My Jobs Screen” and view the selected service provider(s) contact information so that they may contact the selected provider in order to schedule their survey.  Concurrently, the selected service provider will receive an e-mail stating that their bid has been selected and that the customer will be in touch with them in order to schedule a survey.
