This is a home that we went to where the office inside an Orlando, Florida home where the temperature difference is usually 3F warmer that the rest of the home. Upon inspection, we discovered a few things with the home that needed to be corrected.
The found the following with the help of a FLIR and doing a visual assessment in the home attic.
- Wall batt insulation on a knee wall had fallen down.
- The knee wall did not have thick enough insulation.
- Missing Baffles on the front edges of the home and the insulation was not thick enough
- One AC duct was bend and twisted and not flowing air correctly.
