Thermal Imaging Survey in Naas
Infrared surveys that show where your home loses heat, where insulation is missing, and where damp is likely. Covering Naas town centre, Sallins, Punchestown and the surrounding area.
Thermal Imaging Surveys for Naas homes
Thermal imaging of Naas's 1990s and 2000s estates usually shows partial-fill cavities doing a reasonable job but with gaps at corners and around openings, cold bridging at lintels, and attic insulation thinner than current practice. For owners considering a heat pump, the survey confirms whether the fabric is ready or which gaps to close first.
How homes in Naas lose heat
The 1990s and 2000s estates were built under older building regulations with partial-fill cavities and modest attic insulation. They usually rate C, and the gains come from attic top-ups, checking cavity fill and sealing airtightness gaps. Town-centre homes have solid walls and need a different approach.
Typical housing: Town-centre period terraces and pre-war housing, with 1990s and 2000s estate housing across the wider catchment.
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 Naas: questions
Do you carry out thermal imaging survey in Naas?
Yes. We cover Naas and the surrounding Co. Kildare area, including Naas town centre, Sallins, Punchestown. Town-centre period terraces and pre-war housing, with 1990s and 2000s estate housing across the wider catchment.
Is there a grant for thermal imaging survey in Naas?
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.
