Thermal Camera Imaging in Decatur, Illinois
If you spot mold, this could be a sign of a moisture issue. A water leak is also easy to detect. While these examples are common, some problems take a little longer to discover.
Using an extra set of vision known as thermal camera imaging, the team at Assured Insulation helps clients get a closer look. The goal is to not only solve a problem but also catch — and resolve — an insulation issue before it worsens. This high-tech tool saves clients time and money.
How does thermal camera imaging help?
While a trained technician relies on their experienced observation skills to identify home issues, thermal camera imaging helps them easily locate sources of energy loss and areas of moisture. Instead of searching for the problem room by room, this tool provides a bigger picture. Now, technicians can target problem areas. Also, this tool is a great way to double-check the job when installing insulation.
What are some common thermal issues?
Thermal camera imaging helps to see how well your thermal envelope is performing. Imaging can reveal hidden air leaks or areas of poor insulation. Consider this as an opportunity to perform an energy audit of your house. It’s best to find out now that your hot water pipe needs additional insulation. Avoid costly surprises.
Are you ready to spot your losses and increase your savings? The experienced team at Assured Insulation is thorough, professional, and knowledgeable. We’re here to answer any questions and help you better insulate your home. We serve Decatur and the surrounding area.
Why you need Attic Insulation in your home
Reduce Heating and Cooling Costs
Being able to control the space where your heating and cooling systems have to operate reduces your overall heating and cooling costs. Using attic insulation to create a barrier to keep heat in during the winter, and heat out during the summer allows your system to run more efficiently and ultimately save you money. It will also help your equipment to run more efficiently and extend the life of your HVAC system.
Improve Comfort Levels of Your Home
Attic Insulation will reduce the variations in temperature in your home, making you more comfortable with more control of the temperature settings in your home. The barrier of attic insulation can also help with the noise transference and vibration throughout the house.
Energy Efficiency
Proper insulation in your attic will slow the heat transmission between the living spaces in your home and your attic. This will conserve the energy of your heating and cooling systems, and allow your home to operate at peak energy efficiency.
