Save Money on Heating Costs with a Thermal Imaging Inspection

Thermal imaging is a form of infrared cameras that measure the amount of heating radiating from an object or a person.  The lense of a thermal imaging camera uses a sensor array specifically designed to show the radiating heat.

This technology can be used in many ways, but one of the most interesting ways is in home inspections.  Having a thermal imaging inspection for your home can really save you money on heating and cooling costs for your house.  By using thermal imaging an inspector can identify areas of the home where heat is escaping.  This allows the homeowner or contractor to adjust the areas of leakage to keep heat inside the home and save money on utility costs.  The contractor may suggest using a plastic or caulk to seal leaks in windows, or adding a sweep to doors to contain the heat.
