Residents in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, can now borrow high-tech thermal imaging cameras for free to help identify where their homes are losing heat. This project, available in February 2026, is a partnership between Warwick District Council and the Royal Leamington Spa Town Council to help locals lower their energy bills.
The cameras allow both homeowners and private tenants to see invisible draughts and areas where insulation might be missing. By spotting these cold spots around windows, doors, and lofts, residents can make specific changes to keep their homes warmer and reduce carbon emissions.
In Leamington Spa, the loan process is managed through a local partnership involving the Town Council and community organizations. This initiative ensures the cameras are available to everyone in the community as part of a district-wide effort to support energy efficiency.
Once residents have used a camera, they can get expert advice from the charity Act On Energy. This organisation helps people understand their results and points them toward regional or national grants that can help pay for home energy upgrades.
Anyone interested in borrowing a camera can find more information and apply through the Warwick District Council website. The scheme is part of a wider effort to help the district reach net-zero carbon goals by 2030.
