Thermal Imaging Camera Scheme
Are your energy bills too high?
Is your house too cold?
- Borrow an infra-red camera to help identify your property's 'heat leaks' and assess if it might benefit from more insulation. The camera is best used when you are using your central heating and the outside temperature is low enough, this is likely to be in Autumn, Winter and Early Spring. Register your interest below and you will be contacted when conditions are suitable.
