Thermal Scans Detect Air Leaks During Home Inspections
How Air Leaks Impact Your Energy Efficiency
According to energy experts, around 35% of heating and cooling is lost through the roof, while walls, windows, and doors are also common culprits. This can lead to increased energy bills as your HVAC system works overtime to maintain a comfortable temperature.
A Simple Candle Test for Air Leaks
Curious if your home has air leaks? Try this quick and simple test:
Hold a lit candle a few inches from baseboards, window frames, doors, pipes, or vents.
If the flame flickers, moves erratically, or goes out, you likely have an air leak in that area.
While this method can help identify obvious issues, it’s not always reliable for pinpointing harder-to-detect leaks.
Why Choose Thermal Scans for Your Home?
Thermal scans are a modern, effective way to uncover air leaks that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Using infrared technology, professionals can evaluate your home’s roof, windows, doors, and walls to detect problem areas.
This advanced method provides a clearer picture of where your home is losing energy, allowing you to address these issues and reduce your utility bills.
Add Thermal Testing to Your Next Home Inspection
Adding thermal imaging to your home inspection is a smart choice. It ensures you’re fully aware of hidden issues that can impact your comfort and costs. Whether you're buying a new home or improving your current one, a thermal scan can make all the difference.
