Infrared detection can reveal missing insulation and air leaks at your business or at home.  Note the dark blue area in the photograph of a recessed ceiling light fixture.  This represents a colder temperature due to a lack of insulation in the attic around the light fixture.  In new construction an infrared survey can be performed before drywall is installed to ensure that no gaps exist in the insulation.  Retrofit (blown in) insulation can be checked for gaps or settling in existing construction.

Even small leaks or missing insulation can greatly reduce the effectiveness of an otherwise well insulated building.  The infrared image to the right is a triple electrical switch plate.  Note the cold temperature indicating a breech in the thermal envelope.  There is a nearly a 10 degree difference in the dark violet area.  Several leaks of this type can add up.  In total, these leaks can equal the heat loss of leaving a window open by an inch.  That would be quite a draft on a cold winter night.

The bottom line is real cost savings for you.  Saving energy is a better investment than placing your money in the bank.  Most people believe that energy prices will go up, not down, in the future.  Conserving energy pays you back each year and your investment gains in value as energy prices go up.  Infrared technology can help to pinpoint problem areas that you may overlook.  Whether retrofitting or in new construction, infrared imaging will show you the areas to focus on.

Preventing unexpected equipment failures saves a company production shutdowns.  An unexpected shutdown can idle your employees and affect your production costs.  Savings also come from preventing damage to equipment that is beyond repair or preventing fire damage to your building.  In addition, safety for your employees is enhanced.
