Thermal Imaging Survey in Kildare town
Infrared surveys that show where your home loses heat, where insulation is missing, and where damp is likely. Covering Kildare town centre, The Curragh, Irish National Stud and the surrounding area.
Thermal Imaging Surveys for Kildare Town homes
Rural and town homes around Kildare often show dramatic thermal images: solid or stone walls losing heat evenly, roofs with little insulation, and gaps around old windows and doors. Because these homes frequently run on oil, the survey quickly shows where the heating money is going and which upgrade will cut it fastest.
How homes in Kildare town lose heat
Rural homes near the Curragh are exposed to wind across open ground and often have solid or stone walls, oil heating and little insulation, rating E or worse. Town houses share the solid-wall profile. These homes have some of the biggest potential savings in our service area.
Typical housing: Town-centre period houses and terraces, period semis, and rural and village housing across the surrounding area.
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 Kildare town: questions
Do you carry out thermal imaging survey in Kildare town?
Yes. We cover Kildare Town and the surrounding Co. Kildare area, including Kildare town centre, The Curragh, Irish National Stud. Town-centre period houses and terraces, period semis, and rural and village housing across the surrounding area.
Is there a grant for thermal imaging survey in Kildare town?
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.
