Improving HVAC Energy Efficiency with FLIR Infrared Assessments

How infrared (FLIR) camera assessments help Gardena-area homes and businesses find air leaks, insulation gaps and HVAC issues that waste energy.

Where energy gets wasted

A system can be working and still waste energy. Common causes include leaky or poorly insulated ductwork, gaps around windows and doors, dirty coils and filters, and thermostat settings that fight the building instead of working with it.

What an infrared assessment shows

Zia Degrees uses FLIR infrared cameras for energy efficiency assessments. A thermal camera shows temperature differences on surfaces, which can reveal duct leaks, missing insulation, air infiltration and hot or cold spots that are hard to find by eye.

The images help decide which repairs or adjustments are worth doing first.

Low-cost habits that help

Keep filters clean so the blower does not work harder than needed.

Use a programmable or smart thermostat schedule that matches when the space is occupied.

Keep blinds closed on hot afternoons and keep vents unblocked.

Have the system serviced so coils and components stay clean.
