Insulation and heat loss are going to become terms and practices we’ll all need to embrace as we strive to lower heating carbon emissions and bills. One of the easiest ways to get a grip on this is to get a heat loss thermal imaging camera.
The fundamentals of this exercise are easy. If you’re leaking heat from your house, you will have to turn up the heating to keep rooms warm and at temperature, which uses more energy. This is especially important if you are using a low flow rate heating system like an air source heat pump and want to keep your running costs low. The opposite also naturally applies. The less heat that leaks out of your home, the less energy you need to keep it warm which cuts your carbon emissions and saves you money.
We would like to thank Octopus Energy for lending us a FLIR ONE thermal imaging camera. It was a truly useful exercise to walk around the house and quickly and easy identify problem areas that we will start patching up in the weeks and months ahead.

I left a comment at YouTube for this video. I know you review the comments before you allow them to be displayed, but I haven’t seen the comments on this video in over a week. Then I noticed that several of your videos only had one or even no comments. Are you just getting overwhelmed?
My fear is that I missed some new policy by your channel that you are only accepting comments at your website.
Please give me an update.

Hi Gary. Thanks for your comment and great to hear from you. I review comments every 24-48 hours on YouTube and publish and reply to them. As far as I recall there was no comment from you on this video Gary. That’s very weird, and you’re correct in that we’ve seen fewer comments in recent weeks. I’ll see if Google have a filter that may be removing comments. Thanks for raising this.
That is extra strange because I spent a lot of time working on that comment and I remember I even went back and edited and saved it several times. I hope that is not lost because it had several ideas and thoughts that I thought your audience would find valuable.
That’s very disappointing Gary. I went through the YouTube channel settings (and comments section) last night and there was nothing there to indicate any filtering, so I’m perplexed as to what happened to the comment. Very odd indeed, and I’m sorry that it’s been lost. Very frustrating.
Going back through your YouTube videos, it looks like the problem with comments started on your Feb. 15th video. Before that you had about 15 or more comments on each video.
They may be getting marked as SPAM…
I have been using a VPN, but I don’t know if YouTube is looking at that as Spam.

Fantastic post. Thermal imaging cameras have a plethora of different benefits to them, one of them is as stated in this post, the ability to point out insulation issues within a home.
I think this video is excellent – thank you for sharing your insight and experience. I am hoping to borrow one soon. One thing that confuses me is that you can spend lots of time sealing draughts but then double glazed windows have trickle vents! In an old property- 1840’s brick built farmhouse, we are told to let it breathe otherwise you will get damp. All very confusing – any thoughts?
