As the days get cooler, it’s the perfect time to make sure your home is ready for winter. Borrow a Home Energy Kit from the ORL’s Library of Things and see exactly where your home might be losing heat before the real deep freeze sets in.
Our Home Energy Kits include a thermal imaging camera that plugs into your smartphone and works with the free FLIR ONE app to show you—visually—where heat is escaping. Pair that with the included energy monitor, which measures the efficiency of household appliances, and you have a powerful combo for saving energy (and money).
You don’t need to be a contractor or an energy expert to use it. Just borrow the kit, download the app, and start exploring your home for hidden energy leaks. It’s a great hands-on way to learn about home efficiency and take action before winter arrives.
The Home Energy Kit is available for both iOS and Android devices and can be borrowed for two weeks. This program is made possible through a partnership with the City of Kelowna and FortisBC.
Ready to give it a try? Reserve a Home Energy Kit through the ORL catalogue and start spotting drafts before winter does.
