The winter season brings not only the cold but also the perfect conditions for evaluating your home’s insulation. When outside temperatures drop, any potential heat loss points in your home become more apparent, especially with advanced drone-based thermal inspections. These inspections help identify exactly where heat escapes, which not only drives up energy costs but also reduces home comfort. Droneview.be provides these inspection services to pinpoint heat loss accurately, making your home more energy-efficient.
Why get an insulation inspection now?
With rising energy costs, even minor heat loss can significantly impact your energy bills. A well-insulated house not only retains heat but also creates a more comfortable living environment. With our drone inspections, you’ll get a clear overview of your home’s insulation quality, showing where improvements can be made.
What can our drones detect?
- Heat leaks: Our thermal cameras show where heat escapes, such as roofs, walls, windows, or doors.
- Thermal bridges: Areas where heat escapes due to structural issues, such as connections between walls and roofs.
- Insufficient insulation: Quickly identify areas where additional insulation is needed for targeted improvements.

How does a thermal drone inspection work?
Our drones are equipped with Zenmuse XT2 cameras, which map temperature differences accurately, visually representing weak insulation spots. An optimal inspection requires at least a 10-degree difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures, making cooler days ideal for inspections when the heating is on indoors.
Benefits of a thermal drone inspection
- Efficient and accurate: Drones can inspect hard-to-reach areas, like roofs or upper floors, without scaffolding or extra costs.
- Preventative measures: Early detection of heat loss helps you avoid wasted energy and saves on long-term energy costs.
- Environmental and cost-saving: The inspection data enables targeted insulation improvements, reducing energy use and carbon footprint.
Additional applications: Moisture detection and EPC inspections
Our drones can also detect moisture issues within your home. Moisture infiltration can cause severe damage and reduce insulation effectiveness. By identifying temperature variations and damp spots, we can detect underlying moisture problems quickly, especially useful after rain or in moist areas like basements or walls.
A well-insulated home also performs better in an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) assessment, which is advantageous when selling or renting. By conducting a drone inspection and addressing any insulation issues, you can improve your home’s energy efficiency and achieve a higher EPC score.
Who is this service for?
Thermal drone inspections are ideal for homeowners, property managers, and contractors looking to optimize a property’s energy performance. It’s also beneficial for renovation projects where additional insulation is required.
