1. A method of reporting an infrared inspection comprising the steps of: receiving a temperature of a component having a problem; receiving hours of operation for the component; receiving electrical costs for the component; computing, using a computer, predicted energy savings if the component is repaired using the formula Energy Savings=t*c*f(u)*T Delta , wherein t is the hours of operation for the component over a time period of savings, c is the electrical costs for the component in $/kilowatt hr, f(u) is an energy usage function that translates T Delta into kilowatts consumed per hour, and T Delta is a temperature delta between the temperature of the component and a maximum desired temperature for the component; and displaying the predicted energy savings to a user.
