Zap your leaks

We have been lending out energy monitors for some time, and now the Green Mole Forum can lend you a thermal leak detector.

This nifty gadget makes it easy to check your home's energy efficiency by finding places that let heat out or cold air in.

As you scan it around it shines a light on the surface your are measuring - green, blue, or red.

Simply set the detector's temperature tolerances to one, five, or 10 degrees farenheit (or 0.5, 3, or 5.5 celsius) and scan the light across the area you want to inspect. As well as displaying the temperature of the surface you aim it at, the light will change to red for warmer spots and blue for cooler spots to detect air leaks in both warm and cool weather.

Cut Energy Bills and Improve Your Home's Efficiency

Sealing the leaks and improving insulation in your home can help you save as much as 20 percent on your heating and cooling bills. An efficient, greener home will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Use the Thermal Leak Detector to check your refrigerator and freezer temperatures and efficiency.

If you would like to borrow it for a week or two contact us or send an email to ask to be added to the waiting list. Happy hunting!
