OK, so I finally sprung for a Thermo Imaging camera.  (FLIR E4.)

Its really simple to use.  I wanted it do find insulation links and other 
stuff.

One of the things I wanted to do was checking circuit breakers to find 
ones that are about to fail.

I checked my box and I found two that are running much hotter then the 
others. 

My question is, does this mean that they need to be replaced or is there 
other testing that I should do on them first?

One other question, are there other things I should use this camera for 
also?  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
