Oh, quick note: am in New Rochelle, NY ("westchester"),
maybe 15miles north of north edge of bronx. *(45min train ride) to NYC

And, did wikipedia on thermometers then infrared-thermometers (wiki
too) and then amazon, which has fluke for maybe $100 and raytek mt6
for about 50 or so (for looking at house for hot vs cold spots) --
both have lasers for measuring the temp (or pointing the thing?)

If you want to know get a blower door test and Thermal photograph. I
have IR thermometers and its deceptive to use, radioshack for 30$.
www.energystar.gov has info on insulation
