The global energy crisis is having a major impact on households and businesses in Europe, and many are concerned about the uncontrolled growth of their energy costs.
According to the Department for Energy, Enterprise and Industrial Strategy, domestic fuel prices in the United Kingdom have increased by 60% compared to 2021. compared to 2021. And Npower Business Solutions' recent Business Energy Tracker report shows that 80% of organizations consider energy to be their number one concern.
Therefore, in order to reduce energy costs as much as possible, residents, homeowners and businesses alike must improve energy efficiency. But where to start? Many sources of heat and energy leakage are invisible to the human eye. Even if you can feel cold, it's hard to tell whether it's due to faulty window seals, leaky pipes, poor insulation or something else entirely.
For that reason, Teledyne FLIR has developed a wide range of thermal imaging cameras that reveal hidden sources of energy loss. These tools help to proactively detect and resolve energy leaks, thereby reducing energy costs and increasing efficiency.
How Teledyne FLIR thermal imaging cameras can help you
FLIR's personal thermal cameras are designed for cost-effectiveness and convenience. That is, you can easily find significant areas of heat loss in your home that would otherwise go unnoticed:
This small thermal camera connects to your smartphone, giving you effective thermal vision in the palm of your hand. It is used with the easy-to-use FLIR Home Inspect app, which provides guidance on what action to take once you have identified a problem.
This rugged, pocket-sized thermal imaging camera allows you to identify overheated fuses, detect air leaks around windows and doors, find plumbing leaks, and much more. It automatically connects to the FLIR IgniteTM cloud for easy and secure image storage.
Thermal imaging cameras for professional inspectors
With energy bills spiraling out of control, more and more homeowners and residents are looking for ways to identify and resolve energy losses in their homes. Professional inspectors can visit your home to diagnose and report problems, allowing you to fix them and improve energy efficiency. FLIR offers a range of products that combine excellent functionality with fast reporting software to enable inspectors to reach more customers and provide useful feedback. These products enable inspectors to provide the best service with the industry's leading products to deliver the best results for their clients:
The perfect tool for diagnosing electrical, mechanical and construction problems. Connects to the FLIR Tools app so you can easily share images and your findings.
Ideal for professional home inspection, this 240 x 180 pixel thermal detector features simplified reporting capabilities through integration with FLIR's routing software, a built-in microphone for recording voice annotations, and support for FLIR Thermal Studio reporting software, allowing for reduced image processing time and increased inspection time.
Thermal imaging cameras for companies
For businesses, maximizing operational efficiency is vital to control energy consumption and avoid unexpected downtime. FLIR's condition monitoring tools help companies of all sizes and industries to not only identify energy leaks, but even locate invisible performance issues before they become real problems, allowing maintenance teams to proactively optimize their company's energy efficiency:
Efficient troubleshooting tools for mechanical, electrical and construction applications. With resolution options up to 320 × 240 infrared pixels and the ability to accurately measure temperatures from -20 to 550 °C, the Ex Series offers models that perfectly match your target size, operating distance, visual detail needs and budget.
Exceptional thermal imaging with integrated inspection paths to streamline analysis and simplify reporting.
Acoustic imaging to accurately identify pressure leaks in compressed air systems or partial discharges of high-voltage electrical systems.
FLIR's acoustic cameras, designed specifically for industrial use, offer the highest performance in detecting invisible incidents, allowing condition monitoring teams to resolve problems quickly, keep their daily business running and anticipate future failures in advance.
Actions to be taken when identifying an energy leakage
Detecting heat and energy losses is the first key step in combating rising energy costs. The next is to fix these problems to improve energy efficiency. Therefore, the sooner you identify and solve energy loss problems, the more money you will save (while reducing your carbon footprint). FLIR thermal cameras take the guesswork out of identifying problems. Our range of market-leading products enable individuals, inspection professionals and businesses to know for sure the source of their energy problems, allowing them to effectively target their budget to reduce their energy costs and increase current and future energy efficiency.
