Find out using HESK!

Use the instruments in the kit to

  • measure temperature and humidity through your house, fight mould
  • look for cold spots (and hot spots) on walls,
  • measure the energy use of appliances
  • check if your fridge and freezer are running colder than necessary
  • check if your shower is using too much hot water, 

and write it all down in your own workbook and see where you can make savings.

What’s in the Box?                                     

  • Instruction manual
  • Fridge/Freezer thermometer                
  • Temperature & humidity meters
  • Thermal leak detector
  • Plug-In energy monitor

The manual includes suggestions about what to look for in your readings and has tips on how to use the equipment plus guides on dealing with mould and surprisingly high electricity bills.
