Thermal Imaging

A visual inspection of your insulation just doesn't cut it, especially when there is no way you can detect adequate wall insulation without probing and being obtrusive. When having a home energy audit done, it is critical to work with a company, like GreenSavers, who uses the latest technology to assess the efficiency and systems of your home. When working with a GreenSavers Energy Efficiency Specialists you are working with the best and well trained in the field.


The GreenSavers Energy Efficiency Specialists was able to exactly pinpoint were the customer was losing heat and where the attic insulation was missing.	The GreenSavers Energy Efficiency Specialists was able to detect missing wall insulation on the original 1960's portion of the house. The new second story addition had the walls properly insulated.

Thermal imaging, also known as Infrared Thermography, is one of the latest technological advances used in the Home Performance industry. Thermal imaging is used to identify patterns of heat loss from your property that are invisible to the naked eye. GreenSavers Energy Efficiency Specialists use the latest FLIR cameras and have been trained in thermal imaging and building science. The cameras give our Energy Efficiency Specialists the ability to understand what is going on inside walls, without damaging the finishes. Our Energy Efficiency Specialists have been able to diagnose air leakage and insulation related issues that may not have become visible for years to come. Thermal Imaging scans of the home help our experts determine the pattern of heat loss through the envelope of the building and heating systems

Why use Blower Door/Air Tightness testing and Thermal Imaging together?
Air tightness testing and thermal imaging complement each other. Their combined use indicates air leakage within a property. Once these have been identified, solutions can be decided upon that will increase the energy efficiency of your home, and save you money over time.

What are the benefits of Thermal Imaging?

· Documented and real time capture of heat loss

· The ability to detect deficiencies that are invisible to the naked eye

· Highlights the extent of the heat loss- it does not merely identify that heat loss is occurring, also indicates the level of heat loss experienced

· Money can be saved by addressing the issues that are identified by the GreenSavers Home Performance Thermal Imaging report

Where can Thermal Imaging find defects?

·    Missing Insulation or defects in walls and ceilings

·    Air leakage and moisture leakage around service pipes

·    Heat loss through un-insulated pipe work

·    Defects or kinks in radiant floors

·    Problems with ventilation and air conditioning

·    Electrical problems, or “hot spots”
