How Much Does a Thermal Scan Cost (And What You Get)

If you’re considering electrical thermography for your building or facility in Malaysia, one of the first questions you’re likely asking is:
“How much will this cost me?”

The short answer: It depends.
But in this post, we’ll break down typical pricing, what’s included, and what factors affect the cost — so you can plan your budget with confidence.

💸 Typical Price Range in Malaysia

For most commercial or industrial sites, electrical thermography services range between:

  • RM350 – RM1,500 for small buildings (retail lots, offices, shop lots)
  • RM1,500 – RM5,000+ for large sites (factories, warehouses, malls)

Prices can go higher for high-risk zones, offshore facilities, or large multi-TNB incomer buildings with extensive switchboards.

🧾 What’s Included in the Price?

When you book a professional thermal scan with a certified provider like LANAFIRA, you’re paying for more than just someone with a camera. You get:

🧑‍🔧 Certified thermographerTrained and qualified for industrial-grade inspections
📞 Post-scan consultationDiscussion of findings and corrective action advice

🧠 What Factors Affect the Price?

Here’s what determines how much your scan will cost:

  1. Size of facility – More distribution boards and panels mean more scanning time
  2. Number of equipment points – Each breaker, cable, or busbar connection is inspected individually
  3. Location – Remote or high-risk locations may include travel surcharges
  4. Urgency – Emergency or weekend jobs may have priority fees
  5. Report detail level – Some clients need simple visual scans, others need SIRIM/audit-ready reports
  6. Compliance requirements – Reports for ISO, OSHA, or insurance claims may require stricter documentation

At LANAFIRA, we tailor our quote after a brief assessment call or site photos, so you get a fair and transparent price — no hidden charges.
