At Prudent Living we offer infrared imaging as an hourly service when the circumstances are right. More often than not, an infrared camera is used during an energy audit to aid in determining the thermal performance of a building. However, there are many more uses for infrared testing. Infrared cameras are used to test for the following:
- Locate missing insulation
- Verify the existence of insulation in a building structure
- Verify insulation performance
- Identify moisture problems
- Air infiltration
- Locate Electrical Problems
- Locate Mechanical Problems
When the infrared camera is used in conjunction with a blower door the results can be very eye-opening. No air leak is too small to be seen by the infrared camera if the conditions are right. Using an infrared camera is a great way to accurately evaluate a building’s performance.
Infrared testing is a valuable resource to use when trying to diagnose specific problems but it is important to use a qualified thermographer as images can be misinterpreted easily. A qualified thermographer can use an infrared camera to detect any one of the potential problems mentioned above and has been documented to save large amounts of money by catching problems early.
If you need an Infrared scan of your home or equipment please call Phone 888.924.3235 ext 106 to set up an appointment.
