Does your home feel drafty and cold? Are your utility bills high? If you answered yes to any of these questions, thermal imaging inspections may lead you to a solution.<\/span><\/p>\n Infrared thermography is a well-accepted method of imaging and evaluating the thermal efficiency of building insulation, doors, windows, and other penetrations like roof leaks and electrical systems. Thermal imaging inspections use a thermal imaging camera to detect structural defects that allow for heat loss. Since heat and energy loss isn’t something you can’t see with the naked eye, a thermal imaging inspection can help find the vulnerable areas of your home with the simple use of thermal technology.<\/span><\/p>\n It also provides information on heating and cooling system performance as well as conditions to allow for improvements when necessary. No matter if you’re looking at historic or brand new construction, this scan proves beneficial\u2014providing instant detection and fast action to ensure everyone’s comfort. Having an expert conduct and interpret this test will give the most accurate results. In addition, they’ll be able to detect possible errors such as dry areas or reflected heat. Wattson Home Solutions is ready to provide a<\/span> thermal imaging<\/span><\/a> inspection for your home today!<\/span><\/p>\n Proper interior and exterior insulation are extremely important to maintain your home’s temperature and comfort level. The insulating material can be placed in walls, floors, ceilings, the roof, and even crawlspace. Insulation is essential to control moisture from invading and deteriorating the structure of your home.<\/span><\/p>\n Insulation how we keep our homes warm in winter and cool during summer. There are many types of insulations available, each with its own unique properties that make them appropriate for certain applications like radiant barriers versus soundproofing material; however, it’s important not only to know what kind you need but also how effective they will be at protecting against heat flow if this matters to your home\u2019s design aesthetic or energy efficiency requirements (high-R value).<\/span><\/p>\n So which insulation choice is the right one for you? Speaking with an expert can help you narrow down your option. We can conduct a free inspection to figure out which type of insulating material will work best in your house.<\/span><\/p>\n The most common insulation materials used are:<\/span><\/p>\n This insulation is made of fiberglass that has been treated with a binder to hold the fibers together. The batts are manufactured in different widths and lengths to fit between the studs and joists in your home. It’s popular amongst many homeowners because it’s easy to install, easy to obtain, and is fairly inexpensive.<\/span><\/p>\n Insulation can be made from different fibrous materials. Here are the main three:<\/span><\/p>\n Cellulose insulation is made of recycled paper products. It has an R-value of about 3.7 per inch. Cellulose insulation has components added to it to make it fire resistant and resistant to pests such as termites.<\/span><\/p>\n Spray foam insulation is a newer type of insulation that has been gaining in popularity. It’s made up of two components\u2014the first component is an expanding foam that fills all the cracks and crevices in your home. The second component is a polyurethane resin that forms a solid, airtight seal around windows, doors, and other openings.<\/span><\/p>\n Spray foam insulation comes in two different types, open-cell, and closed-cell. Each serves a different purpose for your house and are unique in their makeup. Open-cell insulation is a light, flexible material that allows some moisture to penetrate it. It’s great for walls and attics above the surface. Closed-cell insulation is more rigid and dense. It does not allow air and water to penetrate it. Closed-cell spray foam is great for basements where you want to keep improve moisture control and prevent mold<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n We’ve listed some common types of insulation. However, there are many more types of insulation on the market today.

Many people think that they don’t need to worry about their heating and cooling system until it breaks, but this isn’t the case.<\/span><\/p>\n HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning<\/a>) help move warm, cooled, and dehumidified air throughout a building and to the appropriate rooms by the use of ductwork. They heat your home’s air in the cold months and cool your air in the hot<\/a> months.<\/span><\/p>\n A home’s heater and air conditioner should have an annual service and inspection to ensure that it is running efficiently and doesn’t have any problems. Additionally, you can also take measures to make sure that your home isn’t losing heat or cold air through cracks or other openings. This helps your air conditioner from working overtime and saves energy.<\/span><\/p>\n Wattson Home Solutions has the technology to improve your energy. We also have a team that will help your home keep warm air and cold air where they are supposed to be.
