How an Infrared Survey works for you

This post will explain how an Infrared Survey can save you money, go green and assist in solving other unique problems. Most commonly, a home or business owner contacts us to perform a survey on their home or business. An estimate of the time required to complete the survey is given, and the survey is performed.

The survey is carried out when the largest temperature delta possible is present, thereby giving the best possible thermal contrast for the imaging. The temperature delta is simply the difference between the interior and exterior temperatures of the structure. If the survey is for equipment maintenance/inspection, this is not necessary.

Infrared and non-infrared images are captured throughout the survey. Commonly the owner will be present throughout the procedure. This allows for any particular items of concern to be investigated fully, and known issues pointed out. Following the survey, Advanced Energy Solutions provides a full report outlining the areas of interest/concern. The owner can then contact the appropriate repair or inspection service to proceed with investigation of issues.

Issues commonly noted during a survey:

Electrical problems

Unconditioned air infiltration

Water intrusion/leakage

Ductwork problems

Insulation problems

Uneven air distribution

Etc

An Infrared Survey is not limited to the above. Other imaging and reporting can be provided to suit any customer’s requirements. Such as:

Imaging of Industrial equipment (electrical, mechanical, etc)

Hydro transmission systems

Pest Control (IR can see rodent nests, bee’s nests, etc within a structure)

Farm Survey (Barns, equipment, hay/straw storage etc)

Animals (horses, pets etc can be imaged for anomalies indicating discomfort/defect)

And many more!

See our other posts for examples if IR images and survey results.
