Unlocking Your Home's Hidden Secrets: Our 5-Step Thermal Imaging Process

Step 1: Book Your Appointment

Ready to start saving? Use our online booking form to start the process of your survey. Winter and cooler days in the transitional seasons, autumn and spring, have the best conditions for thermal imaging and we would recommend you aim for these dates. Our team will reach out to schedule the best time for you.

Step 2: Prepare Your Home

To ensure accurate results, on the day of your survey we ask you to heat your home as high as possible beforehand and keep windows and doors closed. Doing this creates the largest temperature difference between the outside and inside of your home, providing the most effective survey results. 

Step 3: The Survey

Our technician will carry out a detailed infrared scan of your home’s interior and exterior, including windows, doors, floors, walls and electrical systems, to detect issues such as heat loss, air leaks, moisture or damp and electrical hotspots, to pinpoint issues like:

• Heat loss and drafts: Where warm air is escaping.
• Air leaks: Unwanted gaps letting cold air in.
• Hidden moisture or damp: Often invisible to the naked eye.
• Electrical hotspots: Potential safety concerns.

Step 4: The Report

Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a comprehensive thermal imaging report complete with thermal images and clear explanations of the findings. You can download an example report here to help you understand what’s included and what insights you will gain.
