FREE Thermal Imaging Survey for Arnside Residents
Sustainable Arnside offered this FREE service last year and are offering it again this year to people who are interested in understanding the areas of their home they can insulate better and, in the long run, save money – which I guess is most likely all of us!
Thermal imaging can identify cold spots in your home, such as draughts around windows and doors, missing and defective insulation, water ingress, damp, and cold bridges. It can indicate both quick fixes and areas that require professional advice and support you on your journey to make your home warmer, healthier, cheaper to heat and lower your home’s carbon footprint.
The thermal imaging camera detects the heat emitted by objects and shows it in a colour-coded way – the colder areas are shown in blue and the warmer ones in red.
This year, alongside our amazing army of volunteer thermal imaging surveyors, we are working with two of our Cold to Cosy Homes home energy advisors to provide coverage of the whole of Cumbria. Anyone is eligible for the home survey. Both advisors and volunteers are trained to the same standard and will be offering the same basic thermal imaging survey.
Among the community groups volunteering to offer surveys to their friends and neighbours is Sustainable Arnside. Collectively, these fabulous volunteers will allow at least ten times as many households to benefit from thermal imaging surveys than if Cumbria Action For Sustainability worked alone. They have also provided high spec FLIR cameras which are calibrated to give accurate readings.
The window for conducting thermal imaging is late October as the weather turns colder, through to end of March, before the weather warms up. All surveys are carried out by volunteers in collaboration with Cumbria Action for Sustainability
