What infrared imaging reveals, why it matters in a cold climate, and when we reach for it. This guide is written for Minnesota homes by Closer Look Inspectors.
What thermal imaging shows
An infrared camera surfaces what the eye misses: missing or settled insulation, energy loss and air leakage, moisture intrusion behind finishes, overheating electrical connections, and HVAC performance issues.
Why it matters in Minnesota
In a climate with long, cold winters, insulation gaps and air leakage drive both comfort problems and ice dams. Thermal imaging maps where heat is escaping and where moisture is hiding, so the report reflects the home's real performance.
Included, not upsold
At Closer Look, thermal imaging is available as an add-on on applicable inspections.
