This seems a bit low, but like you said, it is better than sitting at home if you have no other work.

I would like to find out from these major Loss Prevention and Rick Management Companies if Infrared Services is something they would be interested in doing in addition to the standard insurance survey.

If they are truly interested in reducing risk, then it would be prudent to market Infrared Electrical-Mechanical Surveys that would be conducted by qualified Thermographers.

Recommended by ANSI/NFPA 70B Electrical Equipment Maintenance Standard and most insurance companies, annual infrared surveys can identify potential problems before an accident or failure occurs, avoiding costly unscheduled downtime and business interruption.

There are some companies out there that require a IR scan of all electrical panels before they write or renew a policy. Lyons commercial insurance and CNA risk control are a couple I can think of off the top of my head. As far as contacting them to market or get on their list of inspectors, I haven't looked into that yet.
