Did you know that over £9.5 billion worth of energy is wasted every single year and the majority is lost through heat loss? Now imagine that the UK is literally throwing money away via heat. There are many reasons that energy is lost. Poorly insulated homes, lights left on, heating left on, broken windows or frames and many more. So what if you could find a way of isolating the energy loss from your home and trying to reduce your carbon footprint while saving money. There is!

Thermal Imaging from Drones

Using drones with the correct equipment can help you find energy holes in your property. We use the latest technology and equip our drone with a 4k camera that is built with thermal imaging software. We then fly the drone across and around your house trying to get shots from every angle possible. We then review the footage and look for cold and heat spots around the building. This helps us identify where energy is escaping and costing you money.

What Happens After The Drone Survey is Done?

Once the footage has been analysed by our specialist team we can do 1 of 2 things. We can provide you with all of the information and our findings for you to go and look for a professional to correct the problems. Or we can provide access to our wide network of building professionals to help complete the job for you. Using our network has one big advantage, we can also redo the survey after the work has been completed. This will help you understand just how much more energy efficient your home is. If you’re looking to improve your carbon footprint and save money then the best place to start is by picking up the phone or reading more here.
