Infrared thermography is a technology that can help you if you want to improve the energy efficiency of your property. Also, if you’re buying a property, you should get a thermal inspection to find out if your property behaves like a Ferrari instead of losing power like a leaky bucket. Buying or investing in a leaky property will cost you money in the future.

I am going to briefly describe what thermography is and what are the benefits of this technology. Seeing is literally believing with infrared thermal imaging and this is definitely the case. The benefits are enormous in terms of the information it gives the consumer. This is a great thing, empowerment is key to making better decisions for yourself and your family and also better investment decisions.

The technology used in the topography of the building is mainly state-of-the-art. Essentially, the thermal camera measures the surface temperature of a given surface. If, for example, your wall is missing insulation that the builder simply left out, the result will be a lower surface temperature at the surface. This is a great benefit for a consumer when purchasing a property from a builder. I don’t trust builders and why would you? You are making a great investment here and paying a lot of money. Building a property requires a high level of supervision and if there is no proper supervision, you are simply left with a bad product. This is where thermography comes in. There is no way around this, the camera will detect the cold temperature.

Thermal imaging provides the following important benefits to you, the homeowner, and also the potential investor. Benefits include seeing exactly what you’re buying, pinpointing problem areas. Save money on building repair costs as the exact location of the weakness is identified. It also saves energy spent on fuel that would otherwise have been wasted. In addition, it also detects window leaks that would otherwise go undetected.

When buying a property, like buying a car, we must now, as consumers, verify its performance. Due to the scarce resources of the planet, we will have to make decisions about energy consumption. Therefore, thermography is a must when buying a property. Would you buy a car if it looked good but ran like a Lada? People buy properties every week without taking this into account. Thermal imaging certainly gives you the information to verify the performance of any property without delay. So when you have the information, you can make an informed decision and definitely save money! Definitely get the seller to lower the price to account for the work that will need to be done to correct the thermal deficiencies.
