What Is Infrared?
Infrared energy is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and behaves similarly to visible light. It travels through space at the speed of light and can be reflected, absorbed, and emitted.

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
We know that infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation, which is longer in wavelength than visible light. The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, microwaves, etc. Infrared lies between visiable and microwaves.

Where does infrared energy come from?
All objects emit infrared radiation as a function of their temperature. This means all objects emit infrared radiation.

What's the difference between infrared and night vision?
Night vision goggles amplify small amounts of visible light thousands of times so objects can be seen at night. These only work if some light is present (moon, stars, streetlight, etc.). Thermal imaging works by detecting the heat energy being radiated by objects and requires absolutely no light!

Do you perform home inspections?
Infrared One offers infrared surveys of your home and does not perform general home inspections.
