Infrared Camera search

It's been surprisingly challenging to find an infrared camera operator to come scan the house. When I worked at Fort Collins Utilities we had one we could use for our customers.

I checked the auditors working under contract to the Center for Resource Conservation, the City of Longmont Power & Communications, and a few others I know in the business. A few people have cameras but the access for a project like this is limited. For example, the City's camera is used for inspecting safety of electrical power lines and isn't available for residential scans. At a value of around $10K, I can understand wanting to be careful about these, but they give such good information and provide such a rich visual picture of what's happening, it seems a shame that they're so few and far between.

Finally I found a couple leads:
Alpine Inspection in Golden
EnergyLogic in Berthoud
