Thermal Leak Detector Review:
I picked this brand of detector because it is a trusted name of Black & Decker. This thermal detector is easy to use and you scan an area of the room, looking for for cold air entering a room through electrical outlets, doors and windows. The temperature reading changes as you scan an area and is aided by a laser light which is project on the wall as you scan. This beam changes from a nominal temperature represented by a green color to blue as the area gets colder, or to red as the area becomes warmer.... more info
Oh My gaud!:
Easy to read, works easily but the hard part is then determining where the air leak is coming from. For the money good investment if you use to correct the problems. Of course there are a lot of free things you can do to detect air leaks or therma leaks, using incense to see if the smoke is affect, but this seems to work well and is easy to use. Now if it was compined with Xray to see into wall this would be a Great! product.
Poor man's thermal imager:
Really great tool I used this for 10 minutes and found 3 leaks that needed foam...Does what it says
Great Gadget:
This is a great little gadget. I have identified and corrected the areas of heat loss around the home. Under the window moldings and around the attic access and around the boiler etc. I see a reduction in the oil usage and the house is warmer.
