‘Tis the (perfect) season…

… for a thermal scan of your home. Why? Because the outside temperature is low and (hopefully) it’s nice and warm inside your house. The difference in temperature from outside to inside creates optimal conditions for seeing the following:

  1. Identify Heat Loss: Thermal imaging can pinpoint areas where heat is escaping from your home. During winter, this is crucial as it helps you identify drafts around windows, doors, and insulation gaps. By addressing these issues, you can enhance your home’s energy efficiency and reduce heating costs.

  2. Insulation Evaluation: Using thermal imaging can help assess the effectiveness of your insulation. It reveals cold spots, indicating where insulation may be lacking or inadequate. This insight allows for targeted improvements, ensuring your home stays warm and comfortable throughout the winter months.

  3. Detect Moisture Issues: Winter can exacerbate moisture problems within your home. Thermal imaging can uncover hidden moisture behind walls or under floors, which may lead to mould growth or structural damage. Identifying these issues early can save you from costly repairs and improve the overall health of your living environment.

  4. Project Planning: Thinking of tearing down a wall? Knowing if there’s a heat vent running through it can be helpful info BEFORE you start putting holes in things.
