Why Choose Home Thermal Scans?

Non-invasive Verification of Problems

Validate potential issues before investing in costly or unnecessary repairs or insulation services

Flexible & Affordable Scanning Options

We provide a suite of home thermal scanning solutions, from single room to entire home scanning

Certified Technicians

Our technicians are specifically trained in home thermography and certified by InterNACHI (Inter­national Association of Certified Home Inspectors)

Thermal Imaging Services

Residential thermal scanning involves using thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature variations in a home. These cameras visualize heat patterns, making it possible to identify issues like insulation problems, air leaks, moisture, and electrical faults that are not visible to the naked eye. Thermal imaging can help improve energy efficiency, detect early issues, improve the comfort and safety of your home.

Energy Efficiency

Thermally assess insulation effectiveness
Detect drafts around windows and doors
Identify areas of heat loss and air leakage in ventilation system
Provide recommendations for energy-saving improvements

Moisture & Leak Detection

Thermally locate hidden water leaks
Identify moisture intrusion in walls, ceilings, and floors
Detect mold growth areas
Report findings and possible solutions

Pest Assessment

Thermally identify signs of pest infestations
Assess the extent of the infestation
Provide recommendations for possible treatment and prevention

Electrical Risk

Assess electrical panel and circuit breakers
Identify overheating electrical components
Detect faulty wiring and connections
Provide safety recommendations

Pricing

All scanning services below are based on number of rooms or entire home regardless of the type of scan being conducted. Depending on your need we can scan for energy, moisture, pest or electrical issues.

Scan Home pricing is based on home size of 2,500 sq. ft. or less. Prices may be higher for larger homes or complex needs.

FAQs

Below we provide accurate information and facts to address some of the most common misconceptions and questions about residential thermal scanning to help you make informed decision when choosing our services. Thermal scanning is a powerful tool that enhances the quality of home inspections by providing detailed insights into areas not visible to the naked eye. Our goal is to help homeowners understand the value and capabilities of thermal imaging, ensuring your home is safe, energy-efficient, and well-maintained.

Investing in a home thermal scan is a proactive way to identify hidden issues in your home before they escalate into costly problems. Here’s why and when you should consider it:

Why You Should Invest in a Home Thermal Scan

  1. Early Detection of Problems:
    Thermal scanning reveals hidden issues that are invisible to the naked eye, such as:

    • Moisture intrusion, which can lead to mold growth and structural damage.
    • Gaps in insulation causing energy inefficiencies and high utility bills.
    • Electrical hotspots that pose fire risks.
    • Hidden pest infestations by detecting temperature anomalies or moisture patterns.
  2. Energy Efficiency Improvements:
    By identifying air leaks, poorly insulated areas, or HVAC inefficiencies, a thermal scan helps you target upgrades that reduce energy costs and improve comfort.
  3. Non-Invasive and Safe:
    Thermal imaging is a non-invasive method that doesn’t require drilling or physical damage to walls or floors. It’s ideal for diagnosing problems without disrupting your home.
  4. Preventative Maintenance:
    It’s a cost-effective way to catch issues early, avoiding expensive repairs down the line. For example, finding a minor roof leak before it spreads can save thousands in water damage repair.
  5. Increased Home Value:
    For those selling a property, a thermal scan demonstrates a commitment to maintaining the home, offering reassurance to potential buyers.

No. Thermal imaging only detect surface temperatures and cannot see through solid objects. While temperature differences may outline hidden features it cannot “see” through walls.

Thermal imaging cameras are safe and do not emit harmful radiation.

Thermal imaging can also detect moisture, electrical issues, and more.

The cost of a residential thermal scan is typically reasonable, especially when considering the potential savings on energy bills and the peace of mind it can provide.

Thermal scanning can identify areas with inadequate insulation, such as missing or damaged insulation. However, it may not be able to detect issues with the type or quality of insulation.

Thermal scanning is a tool to identify temperature differences, which can indicate potential issues like air leaks, moisture intrusion, electrical, pest and insulation problems. It cannot detect structural issues or other problems that don’t manifest as temperature differences.

While thermal scanning can sometimes identify areas with elevated moisture levels, which may indicate potential mold growth, it cannot directly detect mold. A mold inspection is necessary to confirm the presence of mold.

Radon is a radioactive gas that cannot be detected with thermal imaging. Radon testing is a separate service that requires specialized equipment and techniques.

While thermal scanning can help identify areas of energy loss, it is just one tool in the energy efficiency toolbox. Addressing the identified issues, such as sealing air leaks and improving insulation, is necessary to achieve significant energy savings.

Thermal imaging is a supplement to, not a replacement for, a full physical inspection when required. Thermal scanning uncovers hidden issues that are not easily identified by the naked eye.

Thermal scanning is our primary service, providing a non-invasive way to identify potential issues in your home. However, in some cases, additional tools and techniques may be necessary to provide a comprehensive assessment. For example, if a thermal scan reveals an area of concern, we may use a moisture meter to measure moisture levels or an endoscope camera to visually inspect hard-to-reach areas. These supplementary services may incur additional costs, and we will always discuss these costs with you beforehand.
