Thermal imaging season ending soon
See where your home is leaking heat...
Why is time running out?
Thermal imaging cameras pick up where heat loss occurs within your home, and to do this effectively, the outside needs to be much colder than the inside. A difference of about 8-10 degrees celsius (or 46-50 degrees farenheight) is ideal. Once the weather outside starts to rise above 12 degrees C, this temperature difference isnt as practical, meaning your thermal images will come out less accurate.
There's also the aspect of "solar gain" which is when the sun's rays actually heat up your building. Solar gain is what makes your conservatory so cosy in the early spring, and sweltering hot in the middle of the summer.
A well-insulated property means that heat is both kept in and out - regulating the temperature inside the house. As our environment begins to get warmer in the summer, and colder in the winter, due to climate change, the concept of solar gain and thermal efficiency becomes a lot more impactful.

What makes our survey special?
At the heart of all our work, is social impact - giving back to our community.
We've been trained by the award-winning C.H.E.E.S.E Project to conduct thermal imaging surveys, and they receive a donation from us on each booking we get.
The Cold Homes Energy Efficiency Survey Experts (C.H.E.E.S.E.) Project is a Bristol-based not-for-profit CIC that aims to reduce domestic energy losses, at low cost: their surveys are free to people in poor housing conditions and in fuel poverty. Read more about their work here.
In addition to this, any profits made from our thermal imaging surveys, go back into our carbon saving and fuel poverty alleviation work.
Over the last year and a half, we've managed to extend our energy advice service throughout the whole year (when we usually only run during the winter) due to the huge number of people that have been struggling with their energy bills during the Covid-19 pandemic.
It's taken a huge effort, and we've grown from a team of just 5 people last March, to 10 staff members this month, and that's not taking into account our wonderful volunteers. If you'd like to find out more about our fuel poverty alleviation work, please visit the donation page on our website here.
