What our Heat Loss Survey checks for:
Draughts
Draughts from poorly installed windows, doors and can vastly increase your heating bills. We use a thermal camera to check for this alongside thermal bridging externally and internally.
|
Underperforming heating
There is only one way of checking for heating efficiency and that is also using a thermal camera (whether wall-mounted or under floor systems). We check for air pockets and areas missing.
|
Insulation VoidsCavity wall insulation is there to prevent air circulation and we often find a shortfall. We use a borescope camera to check several areas to the property (traditional block & brick houses only).

As part of our full package option we attend during the winter months to carry out a heat loss survey. However we can attend to just carry out the heat loss survey (between the months of December - February) when weather conditions are ideal.
This is an option for customers that do not need the snagging inspections but are more concerned about specific cold rooms in the property. As part of the survey we will use a thermal camera to check for heat loss caused by thermal bridging, missing insulation, draughts and under performing heating systems. We use a borescope to then check for cavity wall insulation voids. This is a unique service we offer to ensure that we find the cause of the heat loss. |
