Thermal imaging Air Tightness Testing.
Air Tightness testing with a blower door exaggerates thermal imaging, to highlight where big air gaps are in the building envelope.
Some of the excellent photo’s we have taken show you where some homes lose heating or cooling.
Building Quality in homes can be a problem, Thermal imaging used in conjunction with blower door testing visualizes these building imperfections. Nothing Caulk cannot fix.
Thermal imaging with blower door testing shows an evaporative cooler turned off in summer and the house under pressurization. All you get is hot air from the ceiling cavity.
Cold air is coming from a nasty crack above a door, on an internal wall.
A hot ceiling is radiating into a hallway in Summer. No insulation. Lots of Thermal bridging happening here.
Thermal imaging with Blower Door Testing shows a home that has a very leaky manhole.
Thermal imaging for Halogen downlights with legal insulation clearances. Good reason to go LED and at the same time retrofit with insulative downlight covers. A Loft Mitt or a Downlight Mitt with a LED fitting solves this problem.
Window Air Leakage above the window. Not much point in installing double glazed windows they leak like this. is it? Again, caulk can fix this pretty quickly.
There are many other areas, in which a home can leak, and they are usually concealed. Contact us, if you are interested in getting your home tested for a leakage rate as well as a report on where ‘your’ major points of energy loss through the building envelope are occurring.
