WHAT IS INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING ?
Infrared Imaging Uses Heat Signatures to Identify Issues such as insulation inefficiencies or air gaps.
An infrared camera allows to measure the thermal energy emitted from objects that the human eye cannot see.
An infrared (IR) camera is a non contact measurement device that detects infrared energy and converts it to a thermal image. A thermographer can then use the thermal image to identify and diagnose a number of heat related issues depending on the application.
​
WOULD I BENEFIT FROM AN HEAT LOSS INSPECTION ? ​
​​​​
With rising electricity rates it's becoming more costly to heat your home, an infrared camera can locate air gaps/infiltration that can cause your energy bill to be higher than it needs to be.
​​
"In UK, the average heating bill is £3,600 per year and sealing gaps could help save up to 20% in energy consumption (£710 for the average household per year)."

Example of potential inefficiencies that will be identified:
​
-
Faulty door seals / warped entry doors
-
Missing insulation in walls/ceilings
-
Locate in floor heating inefficiencies
-
Roof leaks
-
Mould / Humidity patches
-
Draft around electrical boxes
WHAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN MY HEAT LOSS INSPECTION ?​​
​​​​​
1. We agree on a date and time for our engineer to visit.
​
​​​
2. On-site visit: ​​​​ -1 to 3 hours depending on the number of rooms
​
Preferably in the morning or late evening, your heating should be turn on for a greater temperature difference between your accommodation and the outside air.​
​
3. ​​ Within 48h of the visit, a full comprehensive report including:
​
- Thermal images of the accommodation.
- An in-depth analysis of heating inefficiencies.
- Our recommendations for any renovations or repairs.
- A guide to good practices to keep your house warm during winter.

THE BENEFITS OF INFRARED THERMOGRAPHIC INSPECTIONS
Thermographic inspections evaluate the temperature profiles of a residential or commercial building to diagnose for predictive maintenance.
