One of the big complaints of the people who do energy audits/blower door tests for a living is that a large number of home owners that hire them wander off to watch TV instead of walking around their house so they can get a first hand look at how their house performs.
I'm not sure how much you would have to rent out the camera and blower door for but for $45 we had someone show up with the whole blower door set up, the camera and a handful of other tools, then they gave us a 15 page printed report complete with photos of problem areas of our house, they will then do a follow up test, normally they charge $300 for all of this and $300 is still a great deal for what they do as I wouldn't have thought to check as much as they checked.
