Thermal Infarared Inspections in Chicago for Heating and Air Conditioning Systems

HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, which comprises the climate control inside your building. It is a particularly vital part of your building – not only for the people, but also the servers, equipment, and data systems inside.

Controlling operational costs can be more important than installing the most expensive equipment. Poorly maintained or failing HVAC systems can compromise indoor air quality and result in mechanical system failures. Problems with HVAC systems can include:

	excessive air leaks at duct seams
	improper or poorly installed insulation around duct work
	vent connector flue leaks, which can cause carbon monoxide build-up
	restricted AC condenser coil

Insight Thermal Diagnostics can perform a non-invasive infrared thermal imaging scan that measures surface temperatures and temperature variations to safely and efficiently examine:

	HVAC motors, pumps, fans, bearings, and heating elements
	ventilation systems and air filters
	fatigue and stress on components
	air conditioner compressor leaks

Our Thermal Diagnostics Survey report will document the issues we find and our evaluation of each problem. The report will include natural and infrared photographs where necessary to demonstrate our findings.

Examples:

The following thermal diagnostic scan of a commercial HVAC system reveals excessive warm air leakage at the trunk to duct connection:

Most buildings have many connections of this type, and making sure all of them are installed correctly can greatly affect the building's thermal efficiency.
