In the battle against winter weather, homeowners across the United States have invested in radiant floor heating. Heated flooring can be really nice for a lot of reasons, and it seems like it’s become increasingly popular in recent years. However, one complaint from homeowners has been that diagnosing and repairing heated flooring can be a hassle since it can involve tearing up significant areas of flooring.
Fortunately, this is one of the many aspects of owning a home where thermal imaging in connection with a professional home inspection can make your life easier. Instead of tearing up your floors to find the cause of the issue you’re experiencing with heated flooring, an infrared camera can see underneath the floor to the heating elements. This can help a professional identify exactly which elements are malfunctioning – whether there’s too much heat or not enough – and having that information is the first step to fixing the problem.
