Qualified Home Inspector?

There sure seems to be a lot of new home inspectors out there!  When looking for a home inspector, be sure to ask "How long have you been a full time home inspector"?  "How many home inspections have you conducted"   "Are you ASHI certified?"    The answers might surprise you! 

In Ohio, home inspectors must be licensed. 

 

 

 

 

 

Buyer beware when hiring an inspector!

Rust never sleeps

Newer furnaces create condensation in the winter and the A/C creates condensation in the summer.   If the condensation is not draining properly, it will back up and cause damage by rusting out the components of the furnace.   This is why it is so important to have your furnace and A/C checked annually by a HVAC technician, even when the equipment is "new".

Owners should disclose known defects

Sellers are required to disclose known defects ... typically by using the disclosure form the State of Ohio has put together for residential real estate transactions.

But this one I saw today is pretty good too !
In my experience, sellers are o.k. with most issues, as long as those issues are disclosed.  It is the surprise issue, the issue that is found but not-disclosed that can really upset the buyer.

Air Conditioning in the Spring

You may be tempted to turn on the Air Conditioner when we have the first hot day in Spring.  But remember this rule of thumb.  If the outside temperatures are still in the 40's or 50's overnight, you shouldn't turn on your Air Conditioner without risk of damaging the compressor.

So, when it is hot during the day, open the windows and turn on a ceiling fan... but be patient and wait a few more weeks before you crank the A/C.

newer ASHI logo

The newer ASHI logo highlights the "gold standard" of home inspector certification.   ASHI is the only certified home inspector program that has been accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies - NCCA.

The NCCA evaluates associations for viability and integrity along with certification programs for fairness, reliability and means for re-certification.  NO other home inspection association has met this level of scrutiny or has the ability to issue this level of certification.
