Benefits of an Infrared Home Inspection
In addition to standard home inspection check-list items, our services include an Infrared Technology Scan at no extra cost. Infrared home inspections offer maximum benefit to both the home seller, as well as the home buyer. This non-invasive option allows our home inspectors to analyze areas of the home that would otherwise require moderate to serious reconstruction.
In addition to energy loss, roof and plumbing leaks, electrical, and safety issues - infrared imaging technology provides an alternative to traditional evaluation methods to check interior walls, ceilings, flashing, underneath decks, and more.
This can potentially save the home owner, or buyer, thousands of dollars.
Prospective home buyers also benefit from an infrared home inspection because it offers a more thorough home inspection. Our home inspectors are able to accurately see areas of heat loss, electrical panel overheating, water penetration and more. This gives buyers the most thorough assessment before deciding to purchase a home, and/or the ability to better negotiate costs.
More Economic Benefits
According to The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company, for every dollar spent on infrared imaging there is a $4 return on investment for materials and labor - by fixing the problem before it starts.
Reduce Headaches
Reduce or eliminate unforseen repairs, surprise issues, and the time and expense involved in fixing them.
Save Energy and Increase Efficiency
Infrared home inspections offer the ability to easily see where energy is being lost. Homes with boilers or furnaces can reduce energy costs by replacing damaged or low insulated areas. Areas around doors and windows can also be identified to save on energy costs, as well as prevent moisture from accumulating. In addition, liquids and/or gas leaks can also be detected.
Gadget Inspections Co does not infringe upon any Infrared patents, or those pending. We use our own unique approach for infrared camera use to perform a home inspection.
