BENEFITS

Passive thermal performance

Utilising advanced HIKMICRO™ thermal imaging inspection equipment, our draft and insulation thermal leak inspections are a quick, cheap and effective starting point to making impactful improvements to your home’s thermal performance.
And once passive thermal improvements are made, they accrue no ongoing costs while decreasing energy usage and bills.

HOMEOWNERS

Improving your home’s passive thermal performance means less reliance on heaters and air conditioners, keeping your spaces naturally warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Sealing air leaks, upgrading insulation, and addressing weak spots like windows and doors reduces drafts, eliminates hot and cold zones, and makes your home consistently more comfortable.

On top of this, you’ll see noticeable savings on energy bills and reduce wear and tear on heating and cooling systems, while also lowering your household’s carbon footprint – a long-term win for both your wallet and the environment.

BUSINESSES

Boosting passive thermal performance translates directly into lower operating costs and a more productive workplace. Offices and commercial spaces with better insulation and reduced air leakage require less energy to maintain comfortable temperatures, easing the strain on HVAC systems and cutting electricity bills – often by 10–30% or more.

Beyond cost savings, it creates a stable indoor climate that enhances staff comfort and well-being, while also demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency – an increasingly important factor for clients, stakeholders, and regulatory compliance.

ADVANCED THERMAL IMAGING INSPECTION

See what can’t be seen

You can’t fix what you can’t see or measure, and thermal leakage via air drafts or insulation issues generally go undiscovered for many years.
A DraftGuard inspection can reveal any vulnerabilities in old or non-existent wall and ceiling insulation, so action can be taken to rectify the weaknesses in a property’s passive thermal performance.

Enjoy consistent, comfortable temperatures in every room, every season.

A quieter, more comfortable home

Better sealing keeps noise, drafts, and dust outside where they belong.

Longer lifespan for HVAC systems

Reduce strain on your heating and cooling systems for fewer repairs and longer life.

Reduced carbon footprint and energy waste

Lower energy use means fewer emissions and a smaller environmental impact.

Increased property value and energy rating

Boost your home’s comfort, efficiency, and resale appeal with better active and passive thermal performance.

THERMAL IMAGING INSPECTION

What an inspection can reveal

Air leakage

Even small cracks and gaps can let out conditioned air, making your systems work harder and increasing energy bills.
What does air leakage look like?

Insulation issues

Missing or poorly installed insulation creates cold spots in winter and hot spots in summer.

Hidden problems

Thermal imaging reveals issues you can’t see, helping prevent wasted money on guesswork.

THE DRAFTGUARD PROCESS

What we do

Step 1: Inspection

A DraftGuard technician inspects your home for thermal leakage – this includes detailed thermal imaging of common vulnerabilities such as windows, doors and ventilation outlets, as well as scanning for wall and ceiling insulation issues.
Our pre-inspection checks ensure any specific concerns a home owner has are captured and prioritised during the inspection.

Step 2: Reporting

We provide clear and easy-to-understand reports featuring thermal images taken during the inspection which reveal issues unable to be seen without the technology.
Comprehensive diagnosis with descriptions of each fault are included, with interpretation and annotation included with each image captured during the inspection.

Step 3: Actionable solutions

A DraftGuard report lists recommendations of actions for each identified issue that can be carried out by the home owner themselves or a licenced tradesperson.
These cost-effective upgrades are simple to carry out with readily available materials and products, leading to low outlay for high return in the form of energy savings and comfort.

Thermal IMAGING INSPECTION

It’s time to start saving on energy costs.

An air leak or insulation issue can significantly impact your energy usage and costs to heat and cool your property.

A DraftGuard thermal imaging inspection is a quick and cost-effective starting point to making impactful improvements to your home or office’s thermal performance.

If you suspect a leak or experience part of the home always being hot in summer and cold in winter, book a DraftGuard inspection and utilise latest-technology thermal imaging to pinpoint exactly where the thermal weaknesses are.

The sooner a weakness can be identified, the sooner it can be rectified and your energy bills lowered.
