Residential Thermal Inspections
Home Thermal Inspections
With increasing energy costs, it pays to make our homes more green. Homes are being built to better standards with more insulation, tighter weather seals, and more efficient appliances. If your home is new and your utility bills are higher than your neighbor's or more than you think they should be, you may have something wrong in your house. This can range from incomplete or displaced insulation and missing weather stripping to disconnected or leaking duct work. Thermal infrared inspections can identify problematic areas so proper repairs can be made--saving you money!
This is missing insulation. The area on the left is four feet by approximately two feet. The area on the right is nearly that large. Both require more energy because of the lack of insulation; mutliply this energy increase by ten or more (typical) and the cost is dramatic. A thermal inspection reveals areas such as these and enables pinpoint repairs.  |
Another problematic area is around doors. Deteriorated weatherstrip seals or missing seals can create heat loss. Improperly installed doors that do not completely close add to the sealing problem. These areas are sometimes easy to feel, but not usually so when windows "leak heat". A thermal infrared inspection reveals these areas.  |
| Heating and Air ductwork can become disconnected or deteriorated without notice. This can lead to higher utility bills and make the homeowner wonder why. Thermal imaging can "see the heat." |
