Understanding Heat Loss Surveys
Our goal is to provide energy efficiency and sustainable solutions throughout South East England, Kent. Understanding the concept of heat loss is crucial! In simple terms, heat loss is the escape of thermal energy from a heated space to its colder surroundings. Allowing heat to escape can impact your energy bills, indoor comfort, and overall carbon footprint.
Where Is Heat Escaping In Your Home?
A heat loss survey, also known as a thermal imaging survey, is an assessment that pinpoints the areas in a building where heat is escaping from.
How Does It Work?
Our team will using a comination of building specificaitons, calulations and infrared cameras to provide you with a report of where your building is losing heat. This detailed report will provide you with U-values. In simple terms this is the rate of transfer of heat through materials such as your walls, doors and windows.

The Importance of Heat Loss Surveys
The importance of heat loss surveys lies in their ability to pinpoint the exact locations where energy is being wasted. This detailed information empowers homeowners and property managers to make informed decisions about energy-saving measures, such as:
- Sealing air leaks: Addressing drafts around windows, doors, and electrical outlets can significantly reduce heat loss.
- Upgrading insulation: Enhancing insulation levels in walls, ceilings, and floors can effectively trap heat within the building.
- Optimizing heating systems: Ensuring proper maintenance and adjustments to heating systems can improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Benefits of a heat loss survey
- Reduced energy bills: Lower energy consumption translates to direct savings on heating costs.
- Enhanced indoor comfort: Improved insulation and reduced drafts create a more consistent and comfortable indoor temperature.
- Reduced carbon footprint: By minimizing energy usage, homeowners contribute to a smaller environmental impact.
