Product Description
Black & Decker's Thermal Leak Detector helps reduce energy costs by finding energy leaks in your home. You'll instantly identify problem areas around drafty windows and doors, and uncover hidden leaks and insulation "soft spots" around electrical outlets, recessed lights, and along floor molding.
Shine the light on the wall and set the reference temperature. Reference temperature shows surface deviation from reference temp. Move the light around your house. When the temp changes by 1, 5 or 10 degrees F (user adjustable), the light will change to red or blue to indicate a hot or cold spot. Energy Star states that plugging the leaks and drafts in your home can save up to 20% off your heating and cooling energy costs.
Applications:
Use for seasonal home inspections
Find hidden leaks around doors, floors, walls, pipes, ducts, windows and more
Use to check temperatures of surfaces you can't touch
Check to make sure your HVAC is working properly
Diagnose engine misfires
Check ceiling insulation around recessed lights
Check for drafts around the fireplace
Confirm that your fridge and freeze settings are correct
And many more applications

Easy-to-Read Color Coding and Screen
The Thermal Leak Detector makes it easy to monitor your home's energy efficiency by finding areas that let heat out and cold air in. Simply set the detector's temperature tolerances to one, five, or 10 degrees and scan the light across the area you want to inspect. The light will change to red for warmer spots and blue for cooler spots to detect air leaks in both warm and cool weather. The detector also displays temperatures in either Fahrenheit or Celsius on the LCD screen. Check for drafts or leaks around your fireplace, recessed lighting, electrical outlets, along floor molding, or any place that may have improper seals, caulking, or seams that aren't immediately visible. An included booklet gives you tips and instructions on how to seal leaks and improve insulation.Cut Energy Bills and Improve Your Home's Efficiency
Sealing the leaks and improving insulation in your home can help you save as much as 20 percent on your heating and cooling bills. An efficient, greener home will stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, increasing its resale value. Multiple Uses to Handle Uncommon Tasks
Use the Thermal Leak Detector to check your refrigerator and freezer temperatures and efficiency. Diagnose engine problems related to overheating or coolant leaks to avoid costly repairs and mechanic bills down the road. The Thermal Leak Detector can also check the operation of your HVAC system, so you can perform preventative maintenance as needed.

 This thing is neat September 1, 2010
Benjones
This thing is neat! It works very well, and has helped me seal up my apartment (including a window taht had a gap around the top of it that I would have not found without this detector!)
 It's an "OK" product. August 30, 2010
J. Downs
This product does what it's designed to do, I just wish the light was able to be shut off and they would increase the temperature range it would read.

Debra Pandak (Garland, TX, US)
It works well and very easy. It confirmed my suspicions of area in my home that needed additional weather proofing. In addition, identified an area in the ceiling never suspected. Appears insulation in the attic is not adequate in an area and this helped identify the issue.
Energy Audit Product August 21, 2010
Dennis
This product is excellent for determining where heating/air conditioning dollars are escaping from homes. It measures temperature differentials and will identify where insullation need be added. It also will identify where expensive leaks are located so they may be stopped.
I believe the tool is best utilized in extreme heat or extreme cold and instantly shows how to make a home more efficient from heat gain or heat loss. This product does the same job as the infra-red gun TV screens the utilities use to identify problems but different in that it displays information via a digital numerical tempertature read out. Black and Decker TLD1000 information is quality information provided at greatly reduced price.
This device also will read temperatures of appliances, power panels and anything that temperature readings may indicate power usage to identify home power leaks.
Great tool, great toy July 18, 2010
S. Montgomery (Highlands Ranch, CO USA)
We check the temp of everything with this. The window cracks, the doors, the outdoor gas grill, the air vents in the house, the back of the fridge, dishes in the dishwasher, ice cubes, lcd tvs, car engines, anything!
