Thermal Imaging Saves Homeowners Time and Money
click for larger image
Thermal imaging is saving homeowners a lot of money and Bergstrom Electric is one of the few contractors in the region to offer this service.

Thermal imaging is a photograph of the thermal properties of an object. It gives an accurate comparison of temperatures of an item compared to its surroundings. While it has a variety of applications in the commercial and industrial world, homeowners have discovered that a simple thermal imaging scan can also greatly benefit their bottom line.

The photos at the right show a corner of a master bedroom. While the digital photograph at the top doesn’t reveal any deficiencies, the thermal scan of the same area shows a 13 degree temperature difference. The culprit was low insulation in that corner of the attic, which was costing the homeowner money in lost heat.

Another practical residential application of thermal imaging is to scan electrical boxes periodically to ensure that components are running at a safe temperature. When electrical components overheat, they can start a fire, jeopardizing the safety of inhabitants and costing potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs.

Bergstrom’s certified technicians can complete a residential thermal scan in approximately an hour and homeowners receive a thorough report with photographs, identified problem areas, and recommendations soon after. To ensure your home is safe and insulated appropriately, give the Thermal Imaging Team at Bergstrom Electric a call at 701-775-8897.
