A free scheme is available to help residents find out where heat is escaping from their home, get advice on how to make improvements and save money on energy bills.
Using a thermal imaging camera, a trained volunteer can survey your home and capture images (like those pictured below) to show where energy is being wasted.
Surveys will be carried out October - March, when you are using your heating. You will receive a report with recommendations advising on cost-effective ways to prevent or reduce heat loss, such as draught proofing and insulation.
To arrange a survey, contact your local community volunteer group (bookings should be made in advance):
The 'before' and 'after' images below were taken last winter at a home in Blewbury, Oxfordshire. The redder tones show where the most heat is lost. After thermal imaging was carried out, the homeowners installed ThermaWrap foil insulation and thin plywood sheeting on the door and internal walls. This was a simple and cost-effective way of reducing heat loss.
