Hello,


I have the need to drill a number of holes in a residential ceiling with
ceiling heat (house built in early 70's in Oregon).


As I obviously do not want to drill into any of the elements, I need to
know a method for locating the elements.


Thanks for any help with this,


Jon


I think that your best bet is thermo imaging. �There are a number of methods
and devices to do this and some are pricey. �I don't know if rental is an
option. �There are companies that do this and can provide photographs.


harbor freight has a 20 buck laser pointer thermoter. cant get much
cheaper than that.

it shows exact hot spots.
