Fluke thermometers are an easy way to check you home for drafts and areas of heat loss. You simply point the gun shaped device at problematic areas. You can take accurate temperature readings from a distance just by pulling the trigger. You will quickly find out which spots in your house are well-insulated and which spots are leaking energy.
