I am thinking of jumping into this aspect of inspections. Can anyone advise me as to the pros and cons. Nachi has an affiliation with Flir which allows monthly rentals and I am thinking that the cost will be made up on the first inspection. Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks
John
John,
There are numerous threads and previous discussions here:

I for one don’t purchase tools on a whim or because others are touting as the best thing since sliced bread.
I offer IR as part of a home inspection package, stand alone residential and commercial, roof, EIFS, stucco, moisture, energy, and for my own behalf when I suspect more than my eye can see.
As you will read this is not an arena to jump into without proper training and a marketing strategy before you start offering this sevice.
Some in my market have bought into and sold out of this technology within the past few months.
Go for it.
