Initially it was to check the house for further installation of insulation but as we are now pulling it down and building a new one it's not needed for that. It's great for scanning over the batteries and all the other wiring to check for any potential hot spots.

Taken with 7Kw going into the batteries.
Cracking image! This one is one of the thermal triangular inserts on a window and showing my ghost image too. Rotating the unit thru 90 gives wide (!)screen. Can also see the cold bridge from timber under plasterboard. Ah if only I knew back then what I know today!

Same here, I then phoned and apparently they had so many applications that at year end they binned the old list (that U&I were on) and started again. Nice eh? :(
