I use IR and it is not the answer to everything but it deffinitely enhances the inspection. Primarily used for my own convenience, great for checking in floor radiant. As far as someone owning my company, well I think there is something called insurance. Furthermore, 2 leaks were discoved in a heated driveway using IR on an inspection the other day. Cost to replace, $8,000. Next time the guy needs an inspection who do you think he will use? Probably the guys wanted to own my company Just a thought, don't want to ruffle and feathers. Would you want your inspector to use IR if you were buying a home?
