Going Green in Lancaster and Harrisburg

Lancaster and Harrisburg Clients can save money with a thermal inspection.  GCS Home Inspections and Thermal Imaging routinely makes the trip south to perform these inspections but in order to maintain a reasonable price to Clients, GCS Home Inspections has turned to an alternative fuel.  This clip is part of a series during the experimental stages of testing.

Saving Money is for the Birds!!!

Saving Money is for the Birds!!!

Home heating bills are crazy! Propane went up 50 cents in a month (in between my own fill-ups) and the costs will probably continue until warmer weather arrives. It's supply and demand and it's happening everywhere. Now is the time to pull harder on the end of your belt, don't buy the soda, or the candy, or popcorn, or anything else you buy over and above what you need so you can pay those high heating bills! That's right, begin suffering so you can line other's pockets with your hard-earned cash!

NOT!!!

Why pay the heating bills when you can save money by having a thermal survey performed on your home? Find your local infrared specialist and "see" where you're losing your heat! For more information on what infrared can see, go to my web site and have a FREE look. Unlike the utility companies, I won't rob you.

Winter weather in York

The winter weather is playing havoc on residents in southern PA especially those in the York area. I travelled to York earlier this week for a thermal inspection of only the exterior of a home.

Heat loss is seen through the infrared camera and to be sure the sun's thermal loading wasn't going to be a factor, I arrived before sunrise. The three hour drive was long but the benefits of my thermal report far outweighs any inconvenience I endure because of the drive. I'm glad I brought my boots and bibbed overalls because I needed them. I walked around this home knee-deep in snow. The roof was mostly obscured with deep snow and the western end of the roof had huge drifts hanging over just waiting for some unsuspecting victim to walk under--that could be a cold ordeal!

Yesterday, as most know and are experiencing, another huge snowfall arrived and dumped another 24 inches of snow in that area! Now the wind has picked up so this snowfall is turning into drifts many feet high. I'm glad I was able to do this thermal inspection, but I empathize with the York residents, as well as those in other hard-hit snow covered towns.

Thermal Home Inspection

Thermal infrared inspections can pave the way to a healthier home. Lancaster Thermal home inspection clients have recently received their thermal imaging report containing numerous infrared digital images pin pointing their heat loss. Scranton thermal inspection clients are really able to take advantage of their reports and save money.

Though the weather has turned warm the last few days and yesterday we received nearly three inches of rain, the cold is right behind this frontal system, and with it comes higher thermostats, more heating oil, propane, coal, wood, or electric. A relatively inexpensive thermal scan would reveal areas without insulation, and even leaks around doors and windows. Higher utility bills come with the colder weather.
