The person behind the work
Meet the President
Ashton Bott is President of Infinite Infrared and a Level III Certified Master Thermographer, with electrical infrared inspection experience since 2020. Ashton leads the company's inspection standards, reporting process, and quality review. As the company grows, every report is reviewed for consistency, documentation quality, and technical accuracy.
Background
Ashton has been performing electrical infrared inspections since 2020, with more than five years of on-the-job electrical inspection experience across data centers, manufacturing, multifamily, and commercial facilities. He is a Level III Certified Master Thermographer, with thermography training that follows ASNT and ISO-based standards, and combines that training with a strong working understanding of electrical systems, inspection procedures, and electrical risk.

A small, specialized team
Infinite Infrared is a specialized inspection company, not a large corporation. Ashton leads the inspection work and the standards behind every report, supported by a small team that handles scheduling, reporting, and day to day operations. When findings call for engineering or repair work, that is coordinated through a vetted network of qualified partners.
Why this work
Ashton wants the best for the facilities he inspects. That means a facility manager should walk away from every inspection knowing, plainly, whether their electrical system is running smoothly or whether a problem is developing, and how severe it is. Inspections should be done the proper way, without cutting corners, because a low-quality inspection that creates false confidence is worse than no inspection at all.
Inspection philosophy
Inspect under real conditions
Equipment is scanned energized and under load, because that is the only way faults reveal themselves.
Report the truth, plainly
Clear severity, honest recommendations, and language a facility team and their leadership can both act on.
Stay unbiased
No repair to sell means no incentive to over call or under call a finding. The report stands on its own.
Know the standard
Deep familiarity with NFPA 70B and what it actually requires, including the honest picture of how it is enforced.
Baseline versus preventive maintenance inspections
For both, equipment is opened and scanned when safe, accessible, energized under appropriate load, and within the agreed scope. The difference between a baseline and a preventive maintenance inspection is mainly reporting depth and photo documentation, not whether the equipment gets scanned.
Baseline inspection
Some facilities want a baseline annually so they always know exactly how their equipment is running; it does not always mean a one-time first inspection. For baseline-style reporting, thermal and visual documentation is included for all or nearly all inspected equipment, creating a complete condition record.
Preventive maintenance inspection
Equipment is still opened and scanned under the same conditions. The report may focus mainly on findings and problem areas instead of a full documentation page for every normal piece of equipment, a difference in how many photos and pages the report includes, not in what gets scanned.
Some companies only surface scan closed panels, without knowing what is happening behind the cover. A surface scan can miss problems that an opened inspection would catch, so Infinite Infrared does not present the two as equivalent.
Some equipment may not be opened or scanned due to arc flash restrictions, client safety rules, access limitations, locked or stuck covers, equipment that is locked out, or equipment that is off or not under load, among other site safety or operational restrictions. Scope is agreed with you upfront rather than promised as universal regardless of conditions.
Why unbiased matters
Ashton made a deliberate choice not to sell repairs, so every finding is reported on its merits. The only product is an honest, documented assessment of your electrical system, whether that facility is in Texas, Colorado, Arizona, or anywhere else in the country we travel for a qualified project.
