Discover heat loss in your home with thermal imaging

We have two thermal imaging cameras for local Low Carbon Community Groups to borrow. These cameras help communities run projects that show homeowners exactly where their homes are losing heat – whether through walls, windows, roofs, or hidden draughts.

By using thermal imaging, you can see the problem areas for yourself and make informed decisions about insulation and other energy-saving improvements. Many local groups offer thermal imaging surveys as part of their community energy projects, helping homeowners take the first step towards a warmer, more efficient home.

Thermal imaging in action

When Maureen had a thermal imaging survey, it highlighted areas where her home was losing heat, especially through poor insulation. This helped her prioritise improvements and make her home more energy efficient.
