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

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.
