Winter: heat escaping
Warm air leaks out through attic hatches, rim joists, windows and gaps in insulation. That drives up heating bills and can feed ice dams on the roof.
Thermal energy audits · Post Falls, Idaho
See where your building loses heat in winter and gains it in summer.
North Idaho gets four real seasons. We use thermal imaging to find the leaks and gaps that cost you comfort and money year-round, then give you a clear, ranked report.

Four seasons. Four ways a building struggles.
Most energy audits focus only on winter. In our region, comfort and cost depend on the whole year, and a good report covers all of it.
Summer: heat getting in
Hot attics, sun-baked windows and leaky ducts push your air conditioner harder than it should work. Thermal images show where the heat comes through.
Spring and fall: moisture
Swinging temperatures drive condensation in crawl spaces, attics and cold corners. Finding damp or cold spots early prevents mold and rot.
Smoke season: air leaks
The same gaps that leak heat also let wildfire smoke indoors. A tighter envelope plus good filtration keeps indoor air cleaner.
What we do
We start with homes, cabins, off-grid buildings and overland rigs, the places where every bit of energy counts.
Thermal Scan
A thermal-camera walk-through of the whole building, with annotated images and a ranked summary of what we found.
- Insulation gaps and thermal bridges
- Air leaks at windows, doors, attic and basement
- Signs of moisture
Complete Audit
Everything in the Thermal Scan, plus air-leakage testing and a closer look at the attic, crawl space and heating and cooling systems.
- Measured air tightness
- Attic, crawl space and duct review
- Winter and summer findings
Cabins, off-grid and overland
Small spaces and limited power make heat loss matter more. We scan tiny homes, cabins, vans and trailers too.
- Smaller system, lower cost
- Less fuel and less battery drain
- Better comfort in extreme weather

We report. We don't upsell.
We don't repair, install or sell upgrades, so our findings are only about your building. Take the report to any contractor you trust.
How it works
Simple for you. Detailed where it matters.
Tell us about your place
Share the address, the building type and a year of utility bills. We'll find the right time to scan.
On-site inspection
We scan inside and out with a thermal camera and check the attic, crawl space and mechanical systems.
Your online report
Sign in to a private page with annotated thermal photos and findings ranked by priority.
Fix it your way
Use the report with any contractor. Optionally, we re-scan afterward to confirm the fix worked.

Science
What is a dew point, and why does it matter?
Why windows fog, walls sweat and crawl spaces get damp.
WinterWhere homes lose heat
The usual suspects, from attic hatches to rim joists.
SummerWhere heat gets in
Why a hot attic and sunny windows make cooling expensive.
Smoke seasonKeeping smoke out
What sealing can and can't do, and why filtration matters.
Common questions
How long does an audit take?
Plan on a few hours on site for a typical home, depending on size. You don't need to be home the whole time.
Can you scan in summer?
Yes. Thermal imaging needs a meaningful temperature difference between inside and outside, and that works in either direction. In summer we schedule around the hottest part of the day so we can see heat coming in.
How do I prepare?
Move furniture away from exterior walls and keep the heat or air conditioning running normally. We'll send a short checklist before the visit.
Does this work for cabins, off-grid homes and vans?
Yes. Small and off-grid spaces are a focus. Heat loss costs the most when energy is limited.
Do you do commercial buildings?
Not yet. We're starting with homes and small properties. Tell us what you have in the form below.
Is this a home inspection?
No. Our report is an informational energy assessment. It is not a code, safety, structural or home-inspection report.
