Use of an IR camera in building inspections is a fascinating field!  The addition of IR into your business model can prove very profitable and lucrative... but it must be done so with a professional and business mindset.  Simply buying a hammer doesn't make one a carpenter... and merely calling oneself a certified carpenter doesn't mean anyone will hire you.  The same holds true for home inspections and infrared building inspections.

Thanks for the words Bill I agree 100%.  I operate Ultrasonic Flaw Detection equipment and the machines of today seem to do most of the work for you and many people just dive in as if they were experts and soon thereafter make a fool of themselves.    I've embarrassed myself a time or three in my early days of code compliance inspection and using specialty equipment that I wasn't experienced with - I take your advice to heart.  LOL.

Its worth it if you plan on getting educated on how to use it properly. You can find things with it that would be impossible without it and really impress clients.
