A BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK!

Tired of guessing where that warm air is leaking into your house in the summer and out of your house in the winter? You may not have X-ray eyesight but, with the use of residential infrared technology, homeowners can now get a sneak peek of what’s going on behind their walls.

Gaps in windows, doors or attic spaces can lead to serious hikes in your monthly heating or cooling bill. Likewise, moisture build-up in the walls and hidden roof leaks can often lead to mold or mildew damage, which if not detected early is a serious issue for many home buyers.

With thermal imaging cameras, however, trained technicians can pinpoint hidden spaces that are the culprits of serious heat or cooling loss and possible condensation build-up.

The test can even determine if your insulation is still working or even missing in places. Instead of ripping out and replacing all of the insulation or roof, infrared imaging identifies the problem to find the specific area that needs repair.

Thermographic images must be taken by a certified technician though. To find one in your area, visit www.natresnet.org/directory/rater_directory.asp..
