My high heating bills have me concerned that my house might be inefficient and leaking heat in the winter months. Will hiring someone with an infrared camera help?
A professional might use an infrared camera to identify insulation or air leakage problems.
A professional might use an infrared camera to identify insulation or air leakage problems in your home. Hire a hire a consultant through Focus on Energy's Home Performance with ENERGY STAR Program to test your home, because the consultant uses their extensive experience performing a variety of tests and inspections rather than relying on one tool alone. In some conditions, thermal imaging from an infrared camera is unreliable and not practical due to the lack of a temperature change.
