Thermal Imaging
Using Infrared Cameras
Thermal imagers or infrared cameras, are highly sophisticated sensing devices that provide a visual representation of the infrared energy emitted by objects. Since more infrared energy is emitted from higher temperature objects, these wavelengths of light not visible to the human eye, can been seen by these thermal imaging devices which are then able to see heat and how its distributed, making them an extremely valuable diagnostic tool.
Present Camera used: FLIR E8
Higher temperatures appears as a lighter colors, while cooler temperatures such as water appear as darker colors in the camera.
Which gives us the ability to detect:
1. Area of insufficient insulation resulting in heat loss or the homes ability to keep heat or cold out.
2. Over heated electrical connections and circuit breakers.
3. Area of moisture located through temperature variations
Over-heated circuit breakers
Helping to detect problems before disaster strikes.
Lack of Insulation
Save $$$$ by detecting energy loss from improper insulation.
