A thermal imaging energy audit is performed from both the outside and inside of your home. From the exterior, it can show areas where expensive heated or air conditioned cold air is escaping. From the inside it shows where warm or cold air is entering. Both steps pinpoint areas where improvements can be made. It is not uncommon for us to identify sections of walls or ceilings with inadequate or even no insulation. Undiscovered gaps and deteriorated weather-sealing around windows and doors are frequently found, where significant energy losses are occurring. Other major sources of energy loss we often find include insulation that has settled or shifted inside the wall, access plates for electrical outlets or phone jacks, and canister lights, smoke alarms or ceiling fans not properly insulated after installation. Thermal imaging can also identify leaks from heating and air conditioning ducts that are heating or cooling walls or the attic and wasting energy without the homeowner knowing it.
