Thermal Imaging Heat-Loss & Draft Detection (Waterloo–Kitchener)
See what your eyes can’t: pinpoint drafts and heat loss before winter bills do.
Thermal Imaging Process
Cold rooms, drafty windows, or rising heating costs? Our thermal imaging inspection uses an infrared camera to visualize heat loss and air leaks around windows, doors, ceilings, and exterior walls. You’ll get clear photos, a simple report in plain English, and practical next steps to improve comfort and efficiency.
Key Benefits
Find hidden problems fast – see drafts, missing/settled insulation, and cold bridges you can’t spot otherwise.
Actionable report – photos with callouts + prioritized recommendations you can act on.
Better comfort, lower waste – reduce cold spots and keep warm air where it belongs.
Local, reliable – fast scheduling and friendly service across Waterloo–Kitchener–Cambridge.

About Thermal Imaging
Why Homeowners Choose Thermal Imaging
A professional thermal imaging inspection is one of the fastest and most accurate ways to uncover hidden heat loss, drafts, and insulation gaps before they drive up your energy bills.
Whether your home feels chilly in certain rooms, or you simply want proof that your insulation and weather-sealing are doing their job, this service gives you clear, visual answers—not guesswork.
During the visit, we scan your walls, ceilings, windows, and doors using infrared thermal imaging technology that reveals temperature differences invisible to the naked eye. You’ll receive a digital report with marked-up photos, showing exactly where energy is escaping and what’s causing it—often worn seals, thin insulation, or unsealed joints.
Clear Results. Real Savings.
Unlike basic “draft checks,” a thermal inspection gives you quantifiable insight into your home’s energy performance.
Most homeowners can fix 70–80% of visible issues with simple follow-ups like caulking, weather-stripping, or small insulation touch-ups, dramatically improving comfort and efficiency.
