Heatseekers and Green Homes Scheme

An award winning, energy efficiency detecting vehicle, which helps homeowners pinpoint escaping heat in their homes, has hit the roads in the Winchester District.

The unique HeatSeekers vehicle, with state of the art technology - developed and mobilised by the Energy Saving Partnership - uses thermal imaging technology to identify homes that may benefit from improved insulation.

Operating at night, during the colder months, each vehicle has the ability to assess up to 1,000 properties an hour. The thermal-imaging technology highlights where heat is escaping from a property and identifies if your property would benefit from further insulation.

Once the area has been imaged, a dedicated team of energy advisors will carry out free surveys, talking to local residents about how they can improve insulation and take action to reduce both their energy bills and carbon footprint.
