Afternoon all. I'm looking to assess heat loss and cold spots etc in the SB. The cost of hiring a thermal camera is surprisingly high, enough to make me consider buying one instead.

 

Internet searches provide a wide range of options and prices. I have also seen attachments for phones, but am not sure how good they are. 

 

Does anyone have any experience of using this type of kit? Any advice on how best to proceed? I don't imagine using it repeatedly, but I may use it more than once to check the effect of any alterations I make to the building.

There’s always lots of thermal cameras for sale on market place 

I suspect people like yourself wanting it for one job Then selling on 

Lidl had one for £69.99 recently.
