Why Infrared Camera Inspections Are Gaining Popularity

If your HVAC is struggling or your fireplace smells smoky even when it’s off, the problem might be hiding where eyes can’t see. Thankfully, infrared can. At Anarumo Inspection Services, we’re seeing homeowners embrace infrared camera inspections for their HVACs and chimneys because they deliver faster answers, fewer surprises, and smarter fixes.

Why Infrared Camera Inspections Are Gaining Popularity

What Infrared Actually Shows

Infrared (thermal) imaging detects temperature differences on surfaces, revealing patterns the naked eye misses. In HVAC systems, that means spotting duct leaks, uneven airflow, and hidden insulation gaps that cause rooms to run hot or cold. In chimneys, thermal scans can flag dangerous hot spots, missing liners, moisture intrusion, and blockages—all without invasive demolition.

Corona Climate = Perfect Case for Thermal Scans

Between summer heat, Santa Ana winds, and dust, Corona homes take a beating. Ductwork can separate in attics, seals can degrade, and debris can sneak into flues. Infrared helps you confirm whether that high energy bill is from a leaky supply line, an attic insulation void, or a misbehaving damper. For chimneys, thermal anomalies can indicate damp masonry (a precursor to cracking), or creosote buildup that boosts fire risk—critical if you enjoy those cool-evening fires in cooler months.

Fewer “What-Ifs,” More Confidence

Infrared imaging adds proof to your maintenance plan. We document findings with color thermal images alongside standard photos, so you can see the problem and prioritize repairs. That clarity helps homeowners avoid guesswork quotes and focus on fixes that actually improve comfort, efficiency, and safety.

Non-Invasive, Fast, & Cost-Smart

Because thermal scans don’t require opening walls or dismantling equipment, inspections are faster and cleaner. Pinpointing issues up front reduces repeat service calls and “let’s try this” repairs. Whether you’re prepping for holiday hosting or looking ahead to peak AC season, infrared helps you get it right the first time.
