Do you feel like your home is losing heat but you’re not sure why?
With funding from the National Lottery’s Power to Change fund, Wight Community Energy has supplied Isle of Wight Libraries with thermal cameras so you can identify cold spots and find energy-saving solutions.
Starting Monday, 3 February, you can borrow a thermal camera from any Isle of Wight Council-run library to use around your home.
Stephen Cockett, general manager at Wight Community Energy, said:
“The cameras are especially useful for checking you have good insulation coverage in the loft, checking around doors and windows, and finding cold spots in the home that could result in mould patches.”
Cameras can be borrowed for seven days, providing enough time to check around your home and perhaps carry out a quick survey for family, friends, or neighbours as well.
The cameras are simple to use, and user guidance will be provided.
For anyone nervous about using the technology, the Footprint Trust is on hand to help and can operate the camera for you during a home visit.
The Footprint Trust is an energy charity that, in addition to offering home visits, provides over-the-phone guidance and face-to-face help with saving energy at their drop-in sessions.
All you need to borrow a camera is your library card. If you’re not already a library member, just bring some ID to the library, and a member of staff will be happy to join you up straightaway. Alternatively, you can join the library online.
For more information on thermal cameras, please visit Wight Community Energy.
For further information and support on how to reduce your energy use and save money, visit or arrange a home visit with the Footprint Trust or telephone them on 822282.
The Trust holds drop-in sessions offering energy support and guidance at Newport Library every Monday, between 10am and 2pm, and on the second Tuesday of every month at Ryde Library, between 10am and 12pm.
