Keeping cosy with our thermal imaging cameras

Read how our customers have been using our thermal cameras to keep cosy and improve their homes, with the help of our friends at LCON.

Srishti, one of our volunteers here at SHARE, has been investigating the difference our thermal imaging cameras have been making for people since our first one was donated in 2022.

Thank you to all of our customers who responded to her survey and shared what you’ve been up to, finding and filling draughty gaps, spotting water leaks, checking the performance of new insulation or more. We’re also grateful for your feedback on how we can make these cameras more useful for people, particularly those using them for the first time.

The temperature scales on the camera helped this customer see how much some draught-proofing could help in his home.

More than half of respondents have been using our cameras in conjunction with Low Carbon Oxford North’s excellent Housewarming programme. If you’re wondering where to start with your home, this is a really great resource, backed up by a brilliant local team who can help you with first steps.

Keen to try for yourself?

And if you’re interested to hire one of the thermal cameras for yourself, they’re available here:

We hope you find Srishti’s report useful and, as ever, if you have any questions, do give a shout at hello@shareoxford.org.
