Thermal imaging

1perriwinkle · 2010-11-09 19:54:58

Hi, Was wondering if anyone has had this done to their house, and was it worth it? Need to insulate the house more but not sure if we need to do walls or loft (already done, but not sure if it's done properly) and I think the thermal imagining shows you where the greatest heat loss is.... And if any of you have had it…

Hi,

Was wondering if anyone has had this done to their house, and was it worth it? Need to insulate the house more but not sure if we need to do walls or loft (already done, but not sure if it's done properly) and I think the thermal imagining shows you where the greatest heat loss is....

And if any of you have had it done, can you recommend a reliable company in the city/county?

(Have also posted this on the county galway thread, not sure if you're allowed to do that!? But as I'm only in Athenry I figure a city based company might come out here)

I had this done early in the year, mainly to help trace a hot water leak but also heat loss in the walls, windows, roof etc. I found it useful and the guy who did it was very helpful.

You'll probably get a lot of answers in BER.

Yea as stated, alot of BER assessors have thermal imaging equipment. I had it done and the findings were logical but impressive.

Guy that did my BER would reccomend, drop me a pm if you wish to contact him.

Thanks, your replies are helpful, esp the BER link which I would never have found!
