Thermal imaging
A thermal camera shows cold spots around windows, outlets, ceilings and baseboards where air leaks or insulation is missing. Photos go straight into your report.

Home Energy Audit and Energy Efficiency Assessment in Guelph
Super Sprayers offers energy efficiency audits for homes across Guelph and the surrounding towns, so you can see where your house actually loses heat before you spend money fixing it. Since 2018 we have completed more than 800 insulation jobs, and we have learned that the room that feels coldest is often not where the biggest problem is. A draft in the living room might be coming from a leaky rim joist in the basement or an open chase running up to the attic.
Our audit is a practical, contractor-led look at your attic, basement, rim joists, walls and air leaks, using a thermal imaging camera and pressure testing where it adds value. You get a written, prioritized list of upgrades ranked by comfort improvement and payback, not a sales pitch for the most expensive option. Sometimes the answer is a few hundred dollars of air sealing, and we'll say so.
We want to be precise about what this audit is and isn't. It is not an EnerGuide evaluation, which is the official assessment required for multi-measure rebates under the Home Renovation Savings Program and must be done by a registered energy advisor. If you plan to apply for those rebates, we'll explain how to book the official assessment at the right time so you don't lose eligibility.

Our Audit vs an EnerGuide Evaluation
| Question | Super Sprayers audit | EnerGuide evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| Done by | Our insulation team | A registered energy advisor |
| Purpose | Find and rank practical upgrades | Official rating and rebate eligibility |
| Output | Prioritized upgrade plan with photos | EnerGuide label and report |
| Needed for multi-measure rebates | No | Yes (before and after) |
| Needed for the standalone attic rebate | No | No |
The standalone attic rebate doesn't need an energy assessment at all. Our rebates guide explains both paths.
Thermal Imaging and Blower Door Testing
Pressure testing
Depressurizing the house with a blower door exaggerates every leak so they're easy to find with the camera and smoke. The official airtightness number for rebates comes from the energy advisor's test.
Your Prioritized Upgrade Plan
Every audit ends with a written plan. Upgrades are ranked by how much they'll improve comfort and how quickly they pay back, with rough costs for each. You also get thermal images and photos of the problem areas.
The typical order in a Guelph home is attic air sealing, rim joists, attic insulation, basement walls and then walls. Your house may be different, and the report will say why.
Audits for Rentals and Commercial Buildings
Landlords and property managers use our audits to plan upgrades across a building or portfolio, focusing on tenant comfort complaints and heating costs. For small commercial buildings we look at roof decks, walls, loading doors and rooftop penetrations. The report is written so you can budget upgrades over several years.
Energy Audit Questions
Will this audit qualify me for the Home Renovation Savings rebate?
No. Multi-measure rebates need an EnerGuide evaluation by a registered energy advisor before and after the work. The standalone attic rebate needs no assessment at all.
How long does an energy audit take?
Most homes take one and a half to three hours on site, depending on size and access to the attic and crawl spaces.
Is the audit fee credited toward the work?
We'll tell you the audit price and whether any of it can be credited toward work you book with us before we schedule the visit.
