Thermal imaging inspection in Metro Detroit: what to expect

A thermal imaging inspection uses an infrared camera to show surface temperature differences. On a cold day it reveals missing or settled insulation, air leaks around windows and outlets, cold corners and, sometimes, hidden moisture. It shows symptoms, not causes, so a trained operator interprets the images alongside other tests.

Metro Detroit's heating season is the best time to scan, when the difference between inside and outside temperature is large. Pairing the scan with a blower door test exaggerates leaks and makes them easier to see. It is also part of many home energy audits.

What a proper job includes

  • Scan of exterior walls, ceilings and key areas
  • Checks at the attic hatch, rim joists and basement walls
  • Interpretation of what each image likely shows
  • Moisture meter checks on suspicious areas
  • Optional blower door depressurization during the scan
  • Report with labeled images and recommendations
  • Advice on which trade should follow up

What drives the price

  • Home or building size
  • Interior only or interior and exterior scan
  • Adding a blower door test
  • Moisture investigation needed
  • Report detail and number of images
  • Seasonal timing and weather conditions
  • Commercial roof or facade scanning

Credentials and rebates in Michigan

Michigan does not license thermographers or energy auditors. Ask about infrared camera training and certification, and whether the operator also holds BPI or RESNET credentials. Suspected moisture, electrical hot spots or mold should be followed up by the appropriate licensed trade.

Michigan does not issue a state license specific to energy auditing, so ask about national credentials. The state's Home Energy Rebates program accepts auditors with credentials such as BPI Building Analyst, BPI Energy Auditor or a RESNET HERS Rater certification. Any insulation, HVAC or electrical work that follows is done by contractors holding the LARA license for that trade, with permits where required.

How to compare quotes

  1. Ask about infrared training and experience.
  2. Ask whether they pair the scan with a blower door test.
  3. Confirm the best timing for your season and building.
  4. Ask to see a sample report with images.
  5. Ask who you should call for each type of finding.
  6. Ask whether the report separates energy findings from moisture or electrical concerns.

Common questions

Thermal Imaging Inspection FAQ

No. It shows surface temperature, which can reveal missing insulation, air leaks or moisture behind the surface.
During the heating season, when inside and outside temperatures differ the most.
Not directly. It can show cool, damp areas that may have moisture, which should be checked further.
It can show unusually warm outlets, switches or panels, which a licensed electrician should check. It is not a substitute for an electrical inspection.
Often, yes. DTE Energy's Home Energy Assessment, for example, lists thermal imaging among its tests.
