Thermal Imaging
Infrared inspection that shows the hidden air leaks, insulation gaps, and hot spots you cannot see any other way. NCI-certified, for Las Vegas homes and buildings.
Thermal imaging gives you a way to see heat, which means it gives you a way to see the problems that hide behind drywall, above ceilings, and inside walls. A calibrated infrared camera reads the surface temperature of everything it points at, so a cold streak where conditioned air is leaking out, a warm patch where insulation is missing, or a hot ring around an overloaded breaker all show up as a picture instead of a guess. In Las Vegas, where the difference between a 75-degree room and a 160-degree attic is enormous, those temperature differences light up clearly on the screen.
Constant Air Balancing and Services runs thermal imaging across Las Vegas as a standalone diagnostic for homeowners and property managers who need to find a specific problem, the room that will not cool, the wall that feels warm, the suspicion of water behind the tile, the breaker that keeps tripping. Chris is NCI certified and has spent 28 years reading buildings in this valley, and the camera is one of the most direct tools he carries. It does not replace measurement; it points measurement at the right spot, fast.
Here is what the camera actually finds. Air leakage shows up as cold plumes at top plates, can lights, and return-side gaps where conditioned air is escaping into the wall cavity or attic. Insulation problems show up as warm bands where the batt slipped, compressed, or was never installed, so the attic heat is pouring straight through. Hot spots show up at electrical connections, an overloaded circuit, a loose lug, a failing breaker, before they become a fire. Moisture shows up as cool, slow-to-warm patches behind a surface, catching a leak months before it stains the ceiling.
The deliverable is the imagery itself, the actual infrared photographs of the failures, so you can see the cold streak or the hot connection rather than read a paragraph describing it. We pair the thermal scan with hands-on measurement where it matters, and it slots naturally into a broader energy audit or alongside HVAC system diagnostics when the goal is finding the root cause instead of guessing at it.
Hidden Air Leaks
Conditioned air escaping at top plates, can lights, plumbing penetrations, and return-side gaps shows up as cold plumes on the camera. These are the leaks you feel as a draft but can never quite point to, and infrared puts them on the screen exactly.
Insulation Gaps
Where a batt slipped, compressed, or was never installed, the attic heat pours straight through and the wall or ceiling reads warm. The camera maps the gaps as bright bands so you target the re-insulation instead of blanketing the whole house.
Electrical Hot Spots
Overloaded circuits, loose lugs, and failing breakers run hot before they fail. A thermal scan of the panel and connections flags those hot spots while they are still a maintenance item rather than a fire, which is why the camera is a safety tool as much as a comfort one.
Moisture Behind Surfaces
Water trapped behind a wall or under a floor changes how that surface holds and releases heat, so it reads as a cool, slow-to-warm patch on the camera. Catching it on infrared can flag a slow leak months before it shows as a stain or grows mold.
You See The Evidence
We hand you the actual infrared imagery of the failures, the cold streak, the warm gap, the hot connection. The findings are pictures you can look at, not a paragraph asking you to take our word.
A Trained Reader
An infrared image is easy to misread without context. Twenty-eight years of reading Las Vegas buildings means we know a real leak from a reflection, a wet wall from a shadow, so the scan tells you something true.
Points To The Fix
The camera finds a problem and pinpoints where it is, so the repair is targeted. You re-insulate the gap that is actually there, seal the leak that is actually leaking, and skip the guesswork.
Thermal imaging shows us what the eye cannot. A thermal camera reads surface temperature, so a missing patch of insulation, a duct leaking into a wall, or an electrical connection running hot all light up clearly when everything else looks normal. It turns a hidden problem into a picture you can see.
We use thermal imaging to back up the airflow and diagnostic numbers, scanning ductwork, walls, and equipment for the heat patterns that point to a fault. A duct dumping cold air into an attic chase is invisible until the camera shows the cold streak running where no register exists. Paired with our flow hood and gauge readings, it makes the diagnosis airtight.
It is one more way we prove the problem instead of guessing at it. See diagnostic work in the gallery.
They used a thermal camera and showed me exactly where my house was leaking air and where the insulation was missing. I could see it right there on the screen. No more guessing about where my money was going. That kind of proof is why I trust them.
