Drone aerial thermal imaging in Montpellier

Free quote — aerial thermal imaging in Montpellier

In Montpellier, thermography quantifies what the heating bill hints at: every façade and roof plane gets its own heat-loss map, a sound basis for prioritising insulation. In Montpellier as across the department (34), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.

Demographically the fastest-growing of France's big cities, Montpellier consumes plenty of aerial imagery: housing programmes in the Port Marianne and Cambacérès districts, health-cluster campuses and clinics, Languedoc vineyards on the immediate outskirts, and tourism from the historic follies to the Palavas beaches — ideal ground for photography and inspection alike. The Montpellier-Méditerranée (Fréjorgues) CTR covers the south-east of the conurbation down to the coast, and the Lapeyronie hospital helipad generates frequent medical rotations: local coordination is essential.

Drone thermography follows building-inspection rules — open category above the site, specific category in dense areas — plus the sensor's own constraint: flying at times of strong thermal contrast. Full regulations and rates: aerial thermal imaging across France →

Frequently asked questions

Aerial thermal imaging in Montpellier: what budget should you plan?

Allow €500–1,800 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Montpellier, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.

When is the best time for thermography in Montpellier?

Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Montpellier (Occitanie), winter dawn slots give the best contrast; for photovoltaics it is the opposite — full summer sun.

What time of year should building thermography be done?

From October to April, when the gap between the heated interior and the outside reaches at least 10°C. Flights take place early in the morning, before the sun warms the walls and skews the readings.
