Infrared Camera
Infrared imagers when used in conjunction with a blower door fan can reveal otherwise hidden air leaks, insulation problems and bypasses. Home Energy Raters LLC has Certified Infrared  field staff with over twenty years of experience in troubleshooting and diagnosing heat loss and comfort issues in homes.

In some new construction scenarios we can use this technology to inspect for air leakage prior to wallboard and in all cases prior to finish trim detail.   This pre-emptive approach is an easy way to ensure project goals are meet.

The old adage “you can’t manage what you don’t measure” is particularly true in regards to building performance.  Heat, air, and moisture flows are not necessarily intuitive or recognizable without the use of specialized diagnostic equipment.  These same  building dynamics can cause comfort problems and waste energy, all of which is easily avoided if the guess work is eliminated.

Contract us to schedule a building performance test.   If the home is being constructed under the Massachusetts Energy Star Homes program there are incentives available to more than cover our fees.
