Thermal Recovery Step 1 of 4

Stop Heating the Outdoors.
Start Recovering Your Budget.

Invisible drafts steal $200–$500 every year. You aren't just losing air — you're bleeding money from your wall outlets and window corners.

We pair the precision of the FLIR TG165-X with DAP Touch 'n Foam — your home stays sealed for years, not months.

Why Your Home Is a Money-Sieve

The Door Frame Test

Run a business card along exterior door frames. If it slides through? Air is escaping at $15–$40/month. Most doors have 3–5mm gaps that single-handedly ruin R-value calculations.

The Outlet Shock

Feel the wall around electrical outlets on exterior walls. Cold drafts = missing gaskets. A single unsealed outlet on an outer wall leaks as much air as a 2-inch hole.

The Window Corner Check

Use a candle or thin thread at window corners. Any flicker = a gap. Window sash corners are the #1 overlooked leak point in homes older than 10 years.

The Attic Hatch Pulse

Check for air movement around your attic access panel. An unsealed attic hatch acts like a chimney, pulling conditioned air upward and forcing your HVAC to work 20% harder year-round.
