If i ever saw 2 sides of a coin
If ever i saw 2 sides of a coin. Or something that exposes both sides of a coin. The Infrared camera is it. I have had Real Estate Agents just get in there cars and drive off from an inspection because they did not know what to say to there sellers when the buying agent had me doing an Infrared scan to a home with a vaulted ceiling and exposing all the missing insulation and roof leaks. The seller just walking out the back door standing in the back yard.
Then i see One H.I. On one side of the Infrared camera and then we See others that don't want anything to do with them. Just amazing.
This will be one of the most interesting things to see play out over the next 5 years or so. As it stand now I'm the only Structural Pest Building Inspector North of San Francisco. The first time i saw an Infrared camera i just about fell out of my chair. I have been inspecting homes for some 30 years now and this tool I.R Is by far the best tool for an inspector to have in his hipbag. I completely understand both side and both points of view.
The only thing i can say is that if you want to make a few more bucks I.R. Is the way to go... For me I'm making an extra $ 2.000.00 a month from it as a stand alone extra and I'm just getting started in my area... That's an extra $ 24K A year the first year...
I don't sell it as I'm better than any other inspector. But and this is the big one. Everyday i find things other inspectors have over look. If any one over looks that point then i don't know what to say... But ( i ) do a better job with the camera then ( i ) DO with out it. And I'm making more money with it.
