Thermal imaging for heat loss: when it’s included
Thermal imaging can add useful context in the right conditions, where it’s agreed as part of scope.
Thermal images are evidence of surface temperature patterns at the time of capture — they need context, not guesswork.
When it can help
- Highlighting visible anomalies that warrant a closer look
- Supporting notes and assumptions with additional evidence
- Providing a clearer record for installers and homeowners
Limits to be aware of
- Results depend on conditions at the time of capture
- Images need matching context photos and notes
- Thermal imaging is not automatically included unless agreed
How we document it (when included)
- Thermal image paired with a normal context photo
- Notes describing what’s being shown and where
- Placed into the pack structure so it’s easy to find
