What a great tool for inspecting a new home or doing an energy loss evaluation for your current home. 

This is probably one of the most awesome technologies I have seen in a while............not new to the industry but new to me. 

The way I understand it as this infrared camera can see behind walls..............

It can determine heat loss, water penetration, hot spots with electrical, and if not enough or not any at all -insulation.

There are a couple of local home inspectors in the Kent County area that have this very expensive tool.  (there may be more)

He charges an additional 50.00 to the inspection for his services

He charges by the size of the home but he says it averages out to $150.00 extra but warranties his work for 6 months.

  • Versien Contractors LLC - 616-214-0949 - He is a Licensed builder and has all the toys, a good call if you are planning on renovating - as you should look at all the issues before painting that wall or putting up wall paper as you may want to know what is behind there!  So he would be able to quote on the repair work after the evaluation. Jack is also certified by the State of Michigan for Led base paint work and safe work practices.  A requirement come April of 2010.

 Here is a link to some pics of what this camera can do.

For a complete Energy loss evaluation that includes blower doors for air that is escaping you can call Sam Flanery at 877-987-2121.  Sam said with all the rebates out there for making your home energy efficient you can get your money back in rebates.  His charge for the initial evaluation is $350.00

Here is a good web site to see what is coming - big changes are happening - Building Science Academy.

Oh, I have not received any payment from any of these companies for this, just researched it as if I was doing this for myself and sharing my findings.
