Home Heat Loss Infrared Survey

See where your energy costs are going! Is it through the roof, or out the walls?

We offer a Home Heat Loss Survey in which we’ll scan your home from the outside inspecting the exterior walls of your home. See the three images below. We will give you a whole-house view and also break the house enclosure into sections making it easier to view problem areas, if they occur, to better show you the heat loss specific locations. All of these exterior infrared images will be put in a report for you to view and you can also use this report to obtain quotes from insulation contractors as well.

We recognize customers have different needs regarding services and pricing, so we offer an upgrade to add, if you choose, for your Home Heat Loss Infrared Survey.

Include an inside scan of your home’s exterior enclosure walls in addition to having the outside walls of your home scanned. We’ll add the interior side wall enclosure scan to your infrared report and show you your home’s cold air infiltration areas occurring on the inside while also showing you the heat loss locations seen from the outside. This is a great upgrade in that it gives you a whole-house picture of your home’s insulation issues. See the interior views of the wall enclosure images below. The blue areas indicate missing insulation (cold spots).

Energy Efficiency and Insulation
It is estimated that over 80 million U.S. homes are under-insulated and that there is an immediate need to make our nations homes more energy efficient. One of the most effective ways to reduce your homes energy usage is to make sure your home is properly insulated. A well insulated home can help save you up to 20 percent on heating and cooling energy costs per year. If your home is over 15 years old it probably needs more insulation.

Infrared is the high-technology tool that ‘visually’ shows you whether your home is properly or badly insulated. It’s cost effective, quick, non-invasive and provides you with documented ‘visual proof’ of your home’s existing insulation condition.
