With rising energy costs, it is now more relevant than ever to ensure you’re not letting any cold air into your home this Autumn. That’s where thermal imaging comes in.

– Missing insulation

– Pipework

– Ventilation

Get in the kitchen – simmering a soup or stew is a great way to heat up the kitchen before you even benefit from eating it.

Redecorate – rugs or carpets are a great way to make cold floors feel warmer, heavier curtains are a big help in blocking drafts and thicker bed sheets will make getting into bed that bit better.
