The Home Energy Taskforce offer free energy advice to people who are looking to make interventions in their homes for the purpose of minimising draughts and making their homes warmer. By increasing your home’s energy efficiency, you will help reduce your energy costs, and also reduce your carbon footprint, as you won’t need to use as much energy as before to keep warm. We can discuss which appliances will be using a lot of energy, explain your energy bill if needed, and suggest ways to reduce the energy used.
We can help identify the things that should be done as first steps using a thermal camera. A thermal camera is a device that uses infrared to show the temperature of the scene it is viewing. The images from a thermal camera show up places of cold air leakage and where extra insulation and draught proofing can help retain heat.

Loan a Thermal Camera
We have placed two thermal imaging cameras into the North Somerset Library system so people can borrow one for a week for free. These small cameras connect directly to a smartphone or tablet (either Android or iOS).
The thermal image will show the temperature of the area in view so you can see colder spots. This will help you identify where you can make improvements or interventions such as draught proofing to minimise the amount of cold air coming into your home and the loss of heat.
