Do you know that Heating and cooling account for 53 Percent of household energy costs? Keep your hard-earned dollars from going out the window, baseboard or outlet plate by finding costly drafts and leaks with the new TLD100 thermal leak detector from the Black and Decker energy saver series.Hidden gaps and cracks in a home can add up to as much lost energy as an open window. Finding leaks and drafts, however, can be costly and requires a professional to conduct expensive tests and audits. The new thermal leak detector helps homeowners track down these power-draining drafts themselves, saving money.

Black & Decker TLD100 Energy Series Thermal Leak Detector
The unique hand-held TLD100 thermal leak detector uses infrared sensors that measure the surface temperature along flooring, molding, window frames, walls, etc. The TLD100 also helps you uncover hidden leaks that you might never expect, such as around recessed lighting (where installers often forget to replace insulation) or electric outlets and light switches (that can easily transmit small drafts). Simply set a reference temperature by pointing the device on an inside wall and hitting the set button and then point the thermal leak detector to scan areas in the house. When it hits a cold or hot spot, the LED spotlight changes from green to red or blue, identifying a hot or cold (respectively) leak. . With rising energy prices, many people are looking for ways to manage home energy consumption and lower monthly bills. The energy saver series helps consumers know more, use less and save money, by making it easier than ever to track and control energy expenditures in a home. Rather than requiring major lifestyle changes, the energy saver products provide consumers with the right tools to cut down on power consumption with little effort, making spending less on energy an achievable, measureable reality.
