Infrared thermography energy audit

Infrared thermography, also known as thermal imaging, is a cutting-edge, non-invasive technology used in home energy audits to detect hidden energy inefficiencies in residential properties. By capturing thermal images of walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors, infrared thermography reveals heat loss, cold spots, air leakage, and insulation deficiencies that are invisible to the naked eye.

At EnerSolution Inc., our NRCan-certified energy advisors use infrared thermography to provide homeowners with a comprehensive understanding of their home’s energy performance. This allows for targeted recommendations to optimize energy efficiency, reduce utility costs, and improve indoor comfort.

How Infrared Thermography Works

1. Thermal Imaging Cameras – A trained energy advisor uses a high-resolution thermal imaging camera to scan your home. The camera detects temperature variations on surfaces and converts them into a thermographic image, highlighting areas where energy is escaping.

2. Identifying Air Leaks and Drafts – Infrared thermography precisely identifies gaps around windows, doors, and ductwork where conditioned air escapes, helping pinpoint areas for air sealing.

3. Insulation Assessment – The technology detects poorly insulated areas in walls, attics, and ceilings, enabling homeowners to improve their building envelope and reduce heat loss.

4. Moisture and Mold Detection – Thermal imaging can also reveal moisture intrusion behind walls, under floors, and around windows, which may lead to mold growth and structural damage.

5. Energy Efficiency Recommendations – After capturing thermal images, our advisors provide a detailed report showing energy inefficiencies and actionable solutions, such as insulation upgrades, HVAC optimization, and window improvements.

Benefits of Infrared Thermography for Your Home

• Reduce Energy Costs – Identify energy waste and improve efficiency to lower heating and cooling bills.

• Improve Indoor Comfort – Eliminate cold spots and maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home.

• Enhance Air Quality – Detect moisture problems early and prevent mold growth for healthier living.

• Maximize Rebates and Incentives – Document energy improvements to qualify for government energy rebates.

• Sustainable Living – Reduce your household’s carbon footprint while increasing long-term property value.

By incorporating infrared thermography into your home energy audit, EnerSolution Inc. provides a precise and data-driven approach to energy efficiency upgrades, helping you create a more comfortable, sustainable, and cost-effective home.
