Example #1 - in Floor Heat Systems not working.
|
Notice the thermal scan shows half of the in-floor hydronic heat in this room was not working.

Example #2 - in Floor Heat Systems not working.
|
In all home installation the rule of hydronic tube installation is that the entire surface of the floor be heated so the boiler and its associated components will operate at their peak level of efficiency. When the floor is not heating properly, the end result shows up in your heating bill. If you fail to have the proper repairs performed it will COST YOU MONEY.

The picture at the left above is of the end gable vents on a building.
|
The infra red picture at the right shows heat loss at the gable vents. During the colder months these vents can be blocked to help hold in heat.
|
This picture is a fire place with a mantel and high definition TV mounted on the wall above.
|
The infra red picture shows the bottom of the mantel at approx. 185 degrees and the television surface temp is 125 degrees. The mantel needs to be extended out to protect the television and a heat shield should be installed on the bottom of the wood mantel to provide proper clearance to combustable materials.
|
This picture is a switch bank. Everything appears normal on the surface.
|
The infra red picture shows excessive heat caused by a faulty dimmer switch, on the same bank of switches. This condition can not be detected without the infra red equipment.
|
The photo on the left shows a normal view of a bathroom in a 3 million dollar house.
|
The contactor was ready to drill holes in the floor in order to set the tub. This is a great example of why you need infrared cameras. Our cameras picked up the heating tubes thus saving the contractor from flooding the entire house!
