Thermal Imaging Survey in Celbridge
Infrared surveys that show where your home loses heat, where insulation is missing, and where damp is likely. Covering Celbridge Main Street, Castletown House, Hazelhatch and the surrounding area.
Thermal Imaging Surveys for Celbridge homes
Celbridge thermal surveys pick up partial or empty cavities in the estate homes, thin attic insulation and cold bridges at lintels. Near the Liffey we also look for cold, damp-prone areas on walls and floors, which shows whether a wall is suitable for cavity fill. Main Street homes show solid-wall heat loss.
How homes in Celbridge lose heat
Estate homes make up most of the town and typically rate C to D, with partial-fill or empty cavities, attic insulation never upgraded and draughty hatches. Homes near the Liffey can see more damp, so we check walls before specifying cavity fill. Main Street homes have solid walls.
Typical housing: Older village terraces and pre-war homes around Main Street, 1980s and 1990s estates through the middle of the town, and 1990s and 2000s estate growth toward Castletown and Hazelhatch.
How thermal imaging survey works
A thermal imaging camera reads the surface temperature of walls, ceilings, floors and windows. When there is a good temperature difference between inside and outside, heat escaping through a weak spot shows up clearly: a gap in attic insulation, an uninsulated lintel, a cold corner where condensation and mould tend to start, or a draught path around a window frame.
Thermal Imaging Survey in Celbridge: questions
Do you carry out thermal imaging survey in Celbridge?
Yes. We cover Celbridge and the surrounding Co. Kildare area, including Celbridge Main Street, Castletown House, Hazelhatch. Older village terraces and pre-war homes around Main Street, 1980s and 1990s estates through the middle of the town, and 1990s and 2000s estate growth toward Castletown and Hazelhatch.
Is there a grant for thermal imaging survey in Celbridge?
There is no standalone SEAI grant for a thermal imaging survey. It is often the cheapest way to make sure grant-funded insulation goes where it does the most good. Grant amounts are set nationally by SEAI and change from time to time, so check seai.ie before applying. We confirm what your home is likely to qualify for during the survey.
When is the best time for a thermal imaging survey?
Thermal imaging needs a clear temperature difference between inside and outside, so the heating season from October to April gives the clearest results. Early morning or evening surveys avoid sunshine warming the walls.
Can a thermal camera see damp?
Damp areas often show as cooler patches because evaporation cools the surface, and cold surfaces are where condensation forms. The camera points to likely problem areas, which we then check with a moisture meter where needed.
Will it show whether my cavity wall insulation is complete?
Yes, gaps or settled areas in cavity fill usually show as warmer patches on the outside of the wall in winter, because more heat escapes through them. It is a quick way to check older fills.
