Thermal and Electrical surveys



If you want to make your house more efficient at repelling the unpleasantness outdoors, what should you do first? Insulate the walls? Insulate the ceiling? The roof? Better windows? Draft elimination? What has the biggest effect? While I have regrettably little practical experience tightening up a house I at least do understand heat transfer from a physics/engineering perspective, and can walk though some insightful calculations. So let’s build a fantasy house and evaluate thermal tradeoffs at theoretical lane. The goal of the humidistat is to keep the humidity in a comfortable range by turning the central humidifier “ON” as the humidity in the home falls, and then “OFF” as the humidity in the home rises. Some humidistats have an additional level of control which will protect the home from over-humidification during colder weather.

Digital humidistats will have yet another level of control that Honeywell calls “Window Frost Protection Setting”. It combines the two previous features into one digital control. Thermal Power is an innovative company developing technology in the renewable thermal hot water, central heating and cooling space, including SMART grid and Metering network technologies. There are multiple problems here. First is the lack of public awareness about the incentives. Second, there is the lack of awareness or understanding about new solar thermal.


A thermo graphic, or FLIR, survey involves taking thermal images of electrical equipment
including fuses, contactors, switch boards, transformers, motors, battery banks, UPS's, control panels and other primary electrical connection points. Problem areas can be identified quickly and our thermal imaging cameras provide high resolution images for better analysis of problems. Where severe overheating is identified, it is possible to rapidly isolate the problem before catastrophic failure. Thermal imaging cameras have applications across the electrical field, all of which save time and money. Not only are thermal imaging surveys an excellent means of trouble-shooting electrical equipment, but regular inspection allows for the early recognition of potential problems or defective components. when you can have the best. We provide the highest level of thermography, with the best equipment, to the highest of standards.
Thermal imaging is rapidly becoming an essential tool for preventative maintenance in many different sectors if there are visible problems in your home/building, electrical/mechanical or other systems, and you do not wish to deal with thermal plus,for your peace of mind we can offer you our service. Dorset County Council in partnership with Dorset Community Action is offering a free technical training course on using a thermal imaging camera for heat loss surveys of domestic properties. Thermal Imaging Blog by Fluke Thermography provides in-depth explanation information on the use of thermal imagers infrared cameras.
