How Can You Tell If Your House is Missing Insulation?
You can’t see missing insulation with the naked eye, making it a frustrating problem to try and tackle. However, you are able to see areas of missing insulation with thermal imager. Common areas where you’re likely to find missing insulation include the space around outlets and switches; the edges of attics where the outside walls meet the roof; and unfinished garages, which if connected to the rest of the house can siphon huge amounts of heat during the winter. Insulation in wall cavities can also settle over time, causing gaps to appear.

What's the Difference Between IR Thermometers and Thermal Cameras?
Thermal imaging cameras and non-contact infrared (IR) thermometers are both used for non-contact temperature measurements in a wide variety of applications. Both tools work according to the same principle: they detect infrared radiation and translate it into a temperature reading. Thermal cameras however, have several advantages compared to IR thermometers.
