THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND A-PRO’S THERMAL IMAGING INSPECTIONS
Thermal imaging cameras are more advanced than ever, and A-Pro is embracing these innovations as we integrate them into our services. Here’s what today’s technology offers and how inspectors use it:
- High-Resolution Imaging (320×240+): Cameras like the FLIR E8 XT capture fine details, revealing subtle temperature differences in walls, ceilings, and roofs.
- Thermal Sensitivity (0.05°C): Detects minute heat variations, helping inspectors find small leaks or electrical hot spots with precision.
- Hybrid Visual-Thermal Modes: Combines digital and infrared images (e.g., FLIR MSX) for clear, side-by-side comparisons inspectors use to explain issues.
- Wi-Fi Connectivity: Real-time data uploads to devices, allowing inspectors to analyze and share findings instantly.
- AI-Enhanced Analysis: Software like FLIR Thermal Studio flags anomalies (e.g., moisture patterns), speeding up diagnostics.
- Wide Temperature Range (-20°C to 650°C): Ensures accuracy across climates, from frozen pipes to overheating circuits.
Inspectors use these tools to scan entire homes non-invasively, identifying issues like water intrusion, energy loss, or pest nests in minutes—features that enhance our CHI®-certified expertise and over 1,800 system checks.
