Thermal Camera Imaging

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 typical thermal concerns?

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.

Blower Door Testing

Imagine leaving a window in your home open for 24 hours a day. Think of all of the air that is escaping. Well, a similar amount of air may be leaking from your home if you haven’t had a blower door test. This test is quick and simple, but it can help you save money on your energy costs. A leak in your home could be the reason you’re still feeling cold air — even when the heat is running.

What is a Blower Door Test?

This test is a required step here as part of our state’s Energy Conservation Code. It must be done to show a building infiltration rate of no more than 5 ACH50.

An air duct tightness test is required if any portion of air ducts are located outside of the building thermal envelope or pressure boundary.
