    If you have a house, you can detect bad isolation and gaps.
    It can also detect hotspots in electronics, which can be immensely helpful if you repair or make your own designs.
    Those are the most helpful uses I’ve found myself, but admittedly I haven’t really used my FLIR for about a year now, so not something I use often.
