Are you puzzled about your high energy bills? Do you often feel unexplainable draughts in your home? If you answered yes to either of the above you probably need to assess where your home is losing heat. A large part of the expensive energy generated and used in your home can be wasted due to insufficient insulation and poor sealing around construction components.
There is a brand new service being offered by Snughome.ie to all Kildare residents They can give your home a comprehensive home energy audit, heat loss analysis and a quality assurance check of installed insulation. Snughome use state of the art sophisticated infrared technology which will high light any heat or energy losses from your home and pin point areas where your home needs insulation or repair. These cameras can detect a change in temperature of as little as 0.02 of a degree Celsius. Infrared/Thermal Imaging cameras are used by NASA, CIA, FBI and Scotland yard.
Example of an Infrared/Thermal image highlighting where heat is escaping through an attic hatch, not visible to the human eye.
These state of the art cameras along with a desk top and custom designed software enable Snughome to produce professional non-biased report on the condition of your home.

Building Inspection (BER) VS Thermal Imaging
Recently I was asked “whats the difference between a building inspection (BER) and a thermal imaging inspection?”
Both a building inspector and a certified Thermographer play very important roles in the process of buying a home. The difference is that a certified thermal imaging camera operator can find a leak and see signs of what’s happening behind walls floors and ceilings.
The above picture is an example of what we mean: Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences on any given surface, we then know where the problem starts and finishes. Do you really think a building inspector is going to be able to visually see where the insulation starts and finishes behind plaster? With a thermal imaging camera, we can detect such problems very quickly.
