Gold Key offers thermal imaging inspections to help home buyers identify potential problems and verify the performance of certain components that might not be apparent in a standard home inspection. Our inspectors are infrared certified and use specialized equipment to measure heat energy.
Infrared (IR) is a safe and non-invasive technology that can help home inspectors identify potential problems that may not be visible to the naked eye. IR cameras detect temperature differences, which can indicate the presence of moisture, air infiltration, pest infestation, and other issues. Home inspectors can then use this information to further investigate these potential problems.

Although thermal imaging is a far better diagnostic tool than the naked eye, it does not guarantee 100% accuracy. Further testing or evaluation will be necessary and, sometimes, removal or destruction of components may be required to validate findings.
