Winchester City Council is implementing a new scheme to improve energy efficiency in the district, using HeatSeekers vehicles.
The innovative vehicles will use thermal imaging technology to see into homes and assess their energy efficiency.
The technology will detect where heat is escaping from, allowing a team of advisors to suggest ways to improve homeowners’ insulation.
Councillor George Beckett Chairman of WDSP said of the advisors: “The energy advisors have information about grant discounted insulation which is available to all homeowners and significantly reduces the cost of insulation improvements.”
The scheme, developed by the Energy Saving Partnership, will operate at night and each vehicle will have the ability to see into 1,000 homes an hour.
Keith Hewitson, the Director of the Energy Saving Partnership said, “The technology has already helped improve energy efficiency in thousands of homes across the country.”
The advisors will carry out free surveys on their findings and will discuss with Winchester homeowners how best to improve their energy efficiency – and energy bill.
If any resident wishes to have a free survey on their property please free-call HeatSeekers on 0800 111 4968.
