Why is a Thermal Imaging service important? Will it save me money? Read on to find out the answers to these and many other common questions about a professional thermal imaging survey.

A thermal imaging survey can be carried out on all properties, new or old, and help identify areas of concern, such as heat loss, missing insulation and dampness. This can help a homeowner decide on a course of action and reduce their bills in the long run.

How does thermal imaging work? Here, we try to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about a thermal imaging survey.

A thermal imaging survey is the process of inspecting a property with a thermographic camera. A thermographic camera detects different temperatures throughout a property, creating a thermal image. From this, our expert surveyors can assess and report on the efficiency and condition of your property. 

Using the latest and very best Seek Thermal Cameras, our teams can provide detailed thermal reports on your property. Our reports are easy to understand and read, and include a description and pictures of our findings to highlight any potential areas of concern. 

There are many reasons a thermal imaging survey can be useful to you. The most common reason for this type of survey is to assess the energy efficiency of your home. Now more than ever, homeowners are conscious of their energy usage and how much they are spending on heating their home and a thermal imaging survey can help to reduce that. Our report will detail the quality and amount of insulation in your cavities, the quality of the seals on windows, doors and any other areas that can allow heat to escape and ensure that your central heating systems heats up to sufficient temperatures. 

We find that many homes have insufficient insulation and seals, which can cost you hundreds of pounds every year in heating bills. A thermal imaging survey will therefore give you a clear conscience that you're doing your bit, to use as little oil, gas and electricity as possible, and help to save costs wherever you can! Find out how you can save yourself money with a thermal imaging survey. 

A thermal imaging survey is also particularly useful for detecting areas with water leaks and damp. If you're moving into a new property or have concerns about your home, a thermal imaging survey can detect hidden leaks, damp and problems with electrical systems before they become visible and a problem. Finding these issues early is key, allowing them to be treated and rectified with as little disruption and cost as possible.
