Thermal imaging of house to figure out insulation issues
I live in an old house. There are a number of cold rooms and cold "spots" in the winter (and conversely in the summer).
Given how the house is constructed and insulated (barely), I don't think there is much I can do to fix the cold rooms / spots, but on the off chance that there might be some "quick wins", I thought it might be useful to do some thermal imaging of the outside of the house, and some select rooms indoors.
Around here there are people who offer the imaging as a service for $50-$60.
Has anyone had this done before, and did it prove useful in identifying parts of the house that might benefit from better insulation? Or is it a waste of money?
