Drone thermal audit

Your home is losing 30% of its heat without you knowing.

In just 2 hours, without touching anything, we show you exactly where your home is losing energy. Roof, walls, windows, attic: a drone equipped with a thermal camera reveals the invisible. And you walk away with a clear report telling you what to renovate, where, and why.

Aerial thermal view of a single-family home revealing heat losses — Drone thermal audit by Skyrider Inspection

Real thermal view

Red and orange zones are heat losses.

Why it matters for you

Four good reasons not to wait any longer.

A poorly insulated home means money flying out the window every winter, grants you're not claiming, renovations done blindly. A thermal audit changes all that.

Cut your heating bill

An unidentified heat loss can cost you several hundred euros per year. The audit tells you precisely which points to address first — so you renovate only what needs to be, and start saving from the very next winter.

Support your renovation grant applications

Our thermographic report is a solid supporting document for the thermal state of your property before and after works. It strengthens your energy audit file and helps secure renovation grants and energy efficiency certificates.

Buy with full knowledge of the facts

Considering buying a property? A thermal audit reveals hidden defects a regular viewing never catches: missing roof insulation, wall infiltration, major thermal bridges. A decisive argument to negotiate — or walk away.

Protect your asset

An undetected leak can rot a roof structure within a few years. Wall moisture damages plaster, paint, and finishes. A preventive audit costs a thousand times less than heavy repairs after damage.

What we see in your home

Four defects invisible to the naked eye.

A thermal camera doesn't lie: every insulation defect leaves a luminous signature that heat draws on your home. Here's what we identify with certainty.

Thermal bridges

Where your roof structure, balconies or window frames let heat escape in a straight line. Often invisible, they account for up to 30% of energy loss.

Insulation defects

Settled, badly installed or missing insulation. Very common in attics. The camera shows exactly where the wool is missing or has compacted.

Air leakage

Drafts around window frames, at the roof-wall junction, around electrical outlets. Uncomfortable, and expensive.

Wall moisture

Damp walls appear cold on the camera. Ideal for spotting infiltration, rising damp or waterproofing defects before they become visible.

How it works at your place

Simple, fast, nothing broken.

From your first call to the report delivery, count about a week. Here are the four steps.

The audit is useful for you if

You recognise at least one of these situations.

Your home is hard to keep warm

You heat a lot but you're still cold. Some rooms are freezing, others overheat. The cause is somewhere — we'll find it.

You're planning an energy renovation

Before committing thousands of euros to insulation works, you want to know where to focus your budget for maximum return.

You're applying for a renovation grant

You need a thermal state assessment before works to support your grant application or prove the improvement after renovation.

You're considering buying a property

Before signing, you want to verify that the property you're after doesn't have a major insulation defect hidden behind a fresh coat of paint.

You suspect water infiltration

A mark on the ceiling, a smell of damp, a stain that's growing. The thermal camera finds the source without us having to open the walls.

You manage a co-ownership building

You want to objectively assess the building's thermal state to plan renovation works or justify a funding call at the general meeting.

The right moment

A thermal audit is done only in winter.

For a thermal camera to see insulation defects, you need a difference of at least 10°C between the heated indoor and the outside. That's why the ideal window runs from October to March.

If your renovation project is for this summer, the audit must be done now. The longer you wait, the smaller the window.

Why Skyrider

The audit you buy has to be reliable.

A poorly performed thermal audit is useless. Worse, it can mislead you and push you into unnecessary works. Here's why you can trust us.

ITC Level II Certification

The world standard in infrared thermography. It means we passed the most demanding theoretical and practical exam in the field — not just bought a camera.

Aeronautical-grade rigour

Before Skyrider, I worked as an aircraft mechanic and as an investigator at the BEA (French Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis). In aviation, error simply isn't allowed to exist. I bring that culture to every inspection.

A drone, not scaffolding

No need to set up an aerial platform, block the street, or send three people. A professional drone flies over your home silently and captures everything needed. You barely notice we're there.

We explain in plain language

You're not a thermography specialist. You don't need to become one to understand your report. Our document is written so a homeowner can use it directly with their contractor or banker.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know.

The price depends on the surface area, location and property type. For a typical single-family home, expect a few hundred euros — roughly what you'll save in just one winter after the first intervention. The quote is free, detailed and with no commitment.

Almost nothing to do. Your heating system must run normally the day before and the morning of the audit. Shutters stay open. You don't need to be present in every room. We send you a simple checklist when the appointment is confirmed.

Our thermographic report is a recognised supporting document that strengthens your file. It does not replace the official energy performance certificate or the regulatory energy audit performed by a certified auditor, but it's very useful to precisely target the works needed and demonstrate their impact.

The drone stays on your property, at a respectful distance from neighbouring buildings. No image captures anything other than your home. All our missions are declared to the local authorities and comply with aviation regulations. Noise is very limited, comparable to a hairdryer at ten metres.

Generally within 7 to 10 days, sometimes faster depending on weather and schedule. The main constraint is weather: we need a cold, dry day, with no direct sunlight. We monitor forecasts together to lock in the right slot.

We operate primarily in the PACA region of France and in Croatia, but we travel anywhere in Europe for missions that justify it. Travel costs are detailed in the quote when needed.
