Why Infrared Technology?
What is Infrared Technology?
Infrared technology is the use of a thermal imaging camera to help you to detect the presence of something that cannot be seen with the naked eye, because a wall or obstruction is in the way. Different ranges of temperature, from hot to cold, can be useful in determining the presence of moisture, lack of insulation, electrical hot spots, pests and other things within the home in areas that you cannot detect with the naked eye.
