Summer brings long, hot days across Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin—and for many homeowners, it also brings sky-high energy costs. If your air conditioner seems stuck on overdrive, thermal imaging might be the secret weapon you’ve been missing.

Thermal imaging, or infrared thermography, uses a special camera to turn heat into a visual “heat map.” Reds and yellows in the image show warmth, while blues and greens indicate cooler areas. It’s like having X-ray vision for your home, offering a snapshot of where heat is sneaking in—and where cool air is escaping .
You can add insulation all you want, but it won’t do much good if air is still flowing through cracks in windows or gaps around recessed lights. Thermal imaging highlights those trouble spots—outlets, attic hatches, door frames, baseboards—showing exactly where to seal before insulating. In other words, it helps you tackle the real problems, in the right order
Initial Walkthrough – We assess your home’s major systems and features during a free energy audit.
Optimized Thermal Imaging Session – Conducted when the indoor/outdoor temperature difference is highest (e.g., midday in summer) for clear results.
Professional Analysis & Report – We translate thermograms into actionable plans, identifying problem areas and detailing fixes—insulation additions, air sealing, or HVAC adjustments.
Implementation & Re-Scan (optional) – After work is done, we can re-scan to confirm the leaks are fixed.
Thermal scans can uncover more than just heat leaks:
Moisture Issues: Wet areas show up as temperature anomalies—often flags of hidden leaks or mold risk .
Electrical Hotspots: Overheating outlets, wires, or panels can pose fire hazards—and thermal imaging spots them early.
HVAC And Fuctwork Leaks: Poor airflow, blockages, or duct leaks become visible when you’re overheating or cold zones persist.
