Thanks for demonstrating this. We bought this same FLIR for the same purpose-to check for leaks and cold spots. Would appreciate seeing you use it to find and remediate cold spots in your spaces. Your videos have been so helpful to us. We've been updating and remodeling our older home over the years, and watching you do it first has given us a roadmap and the confidence to do it ourselves. The first video we found was your dryer belt video, and it helped us with that fix. Thanks for the great videos!!

I used FLIR camera in industry for many years. This is the first I have hear of this device, and I am just blown away. Very cool.

that’s pretty cool i’ll probably pick one up thanks 😊all the best

That is still a cool little gadget. Thanks Matt!

Thanks for sharing!

I just bought the Topdon TC001 - also works great (and allows both static and dynamic temperature scale). Awesome to see heat leaks around the house.

That one looks cool too! I was checking that one out before I bought this one.

I use a flir e8 every day at work. Glad to see you promoting a quality company like flir. As a professional i won’t trust any other thermal imaging camera.

To any homeowner watching this, interpreting thermal images can be slightly difficult at times. Cold air can move in weird ways. If you suspect a leak, always confirm results with a moisture meter. And NEVER point your camera at the sun.

That’s a great one. 🤩

Matt's cool tools!

That's a great device to have for its purpose. Pretty damn clever, actually. It would probably pay for itself, after the 1st use, if all the leaks were sealed up. My only issue, it's $200.00. After using it to improve the energy efficiency in the house, wouldn't need to use it again, unless adding another room. I can see where a tradesman would really get their money's worth from it; showing customers then hired to fix their issues. Nice demonstration. TY

imo i'd have way too much fun looking at the temperature of everything (also funny is how it has that lightning port thing for iphones, yet iphones finally joined in using usb c)

Another good way to see where heat loss is occurring in your house, wait till full dark and scan the outside of the house.

I’m not following why to wait until full dark for outside the house. Would you mind elaborating? My house is very drafty and I’ve no clue where the leaks are. Hoping this can help identify areas to insulate. Although, when they built this house in 1957, the studs were turned sideways so the only way to get insulation in the walls is to drill holes everywhere 😩.

@@JCM-mi5re these cameras read infrared radiation. After sundown there is no “interference” from sunlights. Also, it’s easier to see the heat loss from the outside.

I do wish they included the lows and highs on the top corner like the slightly higher models. It gives you a scale so 65 to 70 degrees won’t look at severe since you can see the highs and lows.

Weird thing is I was just looking at this this morning.

Looks like it has lightning connector. So its not going to work with iPhone 15. But im sure there will be a USB-C iOS revision of that thing if there is not already.

I’m having trouble cooling my house during the summertime so if I point this up I’ll be able to tell were the hot spots are and not have to buy a more expensive one?

How much $$ was it?

Hey! Right now it's on sale for $191. I didn't mention it in the video because prices fluctuate over time. Thanks for watching!

Very cool.

No thanks. Het less expensive stand alone unit that does not have the costly free app.

Yes! Very good point. Annoying iPhones! I am sure Flir will come out with a USB-C version. I will leave a link in the description if and when that happens. Thanks for pointing this out!

I've had the USB-C version for a couple of years. It's a fantastic tool if you're renovating an older house. In addition to detecting cold spots, it's also agreed for detecting water leaks, and electrical equipment that's running hot. Hi from Sydney Australia 👋
