Thermography and Our Customers

What is thermography?

The simple explanation is that all objects above absolute 0 Kelvin emit energy in the infrared spectrum.  Thermal imaging utilizes special instrumentation to detect this radiation and display it as a visual image.  Through the use of electronics, temperatures, colors, and shades of colors are assigned to different levels of energy that can be interpreted by the thermographer.

Visible Light SpectrumIt is important to note that the infrared spectrum is invisible to the naked eye because its frequency or wavelength is beyond that of the the visible light spectrum.

Our Customers

Homeowners

Homeowners will find the services of Creative Infrared Solution especially helpful in the following areas:

  • Home buyers and sellers can use a thermal imaging report on a property to negotiate price and value on a purchase or sale.
