Thermal imaging cameras help Tonbridge residents

Free use of thermal camera helps pinpoint areas where heat escapes

Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council is offering residents and community groups the chance to use a thermal imaging camera to identify areas of heat loss in their homes and buildings.

The thermal camera, which can be borrowed for free, helps pinpoint areas where heat escapes, enabling homeowners to make informed decisions about improving insulation and reducing energy loss. By identifying poorly insulated areas and drafts, residents can take steps toward lowering their heating bills and reducing their environmental impact.

The initiative is part of ongoing efforts to support energy efficiency and sustainability in the borough. The council is also supporting home insulation schemes, increased use of solar heating and carbon literacy training for local organisations. Plans for a £1.5m investment to lower carbon emissions from Larkfield Leisure Centre have also been announced.

Councillor Robin Betts, Cabinet Member for Climate Change, Regeneration and Property said:  "We are committed to helping residents reduce their energy bills while also making our community more energy efficient. By offering this camera, we are empowering people to identify areas of improvement in their homes."
