Spring 2009. These days EVERYONE is trying to stretch a dollar, from the grocery bill to commuter costs to... yes, home energy costs. In Ohio, over 47% of your total home energy bill goes to heating expenses alone. This is almost twice the amount spent on lighting, water heating, refrigerators and air conditioning combined. For anyone taking a serious look at their home budget, all of these expenses really become frustrating and at times overwhelming. The recent, or ongoing (depending on your perspective), downturn in the economy is bringing these numbers into the conversations of many households and dinner tables. For many families, they are learning to get by with a little less. For others, some of the decisions that need to be made will have far more significant and long-term consequences. For a majority, figuring out "what makes the most sense" when it comes to becoming more energy efficient can be challenging.

Infrared Inspection Technologies provides you with a predictive, preventative and sensible approach to handling many of these very questions. Thermal imaging is recognized as the most effective of all building diagnostic procedures. It is no longer a matter of conjecture, as it may have been in the past. Infrared/thermal inspection identifies heating and cooling loss, faulty wiring, air/water leakage, condensation problems and damaged or insufficient insulation - all of which can lend to higher energy costs. Many of these problems (if otherwise undetected) oftetimes lead to extensive repairs and replacement costs which can be avoided. The end result of every thermal home inspection is a very specific "insight" into not only your home energy use, but how your home is using energy.

Whether you heat using natural gas, propane, oil, electric, or any combination of these, the key to managing your home heating budget is efficiency. We can help you pinpoint exactly what is costing you money - "where your heating dollar is going." With that knowledge you can make educated decisions about what is best for your particular home. The real beauty of infrared thermography is that you can have full access to the "unobvious" and you may be very surprised to "see what we see."

With energy prices soaring, let us show you how non-destructive, non-invasive infrared inspection technology can save you money, time and assure efficiency in your home. As a part of your infrared home inspection, we provide you with a comprehensive report including an inventory with illustrations (in an easy to understand format) which enables you to plan corrective actions. We also review your report with you and answer any questions you may have.

Our ability to "see behind walls," to detect inadequate or faulted insulation, to check for cold-spots (air leakage), hot-spots, wet-spots (moisture buildup), to actually verify the integrity of your heating/cooling, plumbing and electrical systems, to give you details which can range from a small leak in your refrigerator door seal to a view of your entire home "thermal envelope" – well, we can go on and on...

The real bottom line is that when it comes to evaluating the efficiency of your home energy useage there simply is no alternative to a comprehensive infrared/thermal inspection. This is what Infrared Inspection Technologies is all about. We invite you to take advantage of it.

FAQS (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q. How does an infrared (thermal) inspection of my home differ from having a traditional home inspection?

A. Infrared technology (in simple terms) offers a non-invasive, non-destructive way to actually "see" various aspects of your home energy useage that otherwise would not be possible.

Q. How would my thermal inspection "save" me money?

A. Firstly, we can pinpoint (with astonishing accuracy) the actual areas of your home that are leading to heating/cooling loss. We also inspect and report your home's "anomalies" - including insulation issues, potential or existing electrical problems, and moisture or plumbing issues - to name just a few.

Secondly, and possibly most importantly, once you receive your full inspection report, you can plan (by concern, budget and/or priority) exactly how you can make your home more energy-efficient. In a nutshell, you can determine how to get the most "bang for the dollar" on your improvements and repairs.

It has only been fairly recent that the advantages of an infrared inspection are becoming more prominent to regular homeowners.
