An amazing and useful device
This is an amazing device. I purchased this 2nd Gen device via the FLIR Amazon marketplace as soon as it available. It arrived today and I've already identified two bad power strips and a transformer, a leaking duct vent, and can see where the blown-in cellulose insulation has settled in the walls to about the two foot height. I also intend to use the pictures as evidence that the window installers failed to seal the windows properly. I'm going to document my house with it and use the pictures to develop a more intelligent energy savings plan. It really is a great tool for a home owner.
UPDATE: I've owned my FLIR ONE for 16 months now and it has become an important tool for repairs and upgrades to my home. I have been able to diagnose plumbing, electrical, HVAC and insect related problems. The device helped me to focus my efforts during a recent insulation upgrade and verify contractor work for several other upgrades. It has helped to squash a contractors denial of inferior work and get the work corrected. Sure, you can take kewl photos of your pets and friends, but this tool is much more useful than a selfie-cam. I'll attach several more photos of things where the FLIR ONE has really made a difference in my work around the house.
