Please understand that there are limitations to this inspection. Many components of the home are not visible during the inspection and very little historical information is provided in advance of the inspection. While we can reduce your risk of purchasing a home, we cannot eliminate it, nor can we assume it. Even the most comprehensive inspection cannot be expected to reveal every condition you may consider significant to ownership.

Limitations: The inspector does not operate circuit breakers as part of the inspection, and does not install or change light bulbs. The inspector does not evaluate every wall switch or receptacle, but instead tests a representative number of them per various standards of practice. When furnishings, stored items or child-protective caps are present some receptacles are usually inaccessible and are not tested; these are excluded from this inspection. Receptacles that are not of standard 110 volt configuration, including 240-volt dryer receptacles, are not tested and are excluded. The functionality of, power source for and placement of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms is not determined as part of this inspection. Upon taking occupancy, proper operating and placement of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms should be verified and batteries should be changed. These devices have a limited lifespan and should be replaced every 10 years. The inspector attempts to locate and evaluate all main and sub-panels. However, panels are often concealed. If panels are found after the inspection, a qualified electrician should evaluate and repair if necessary. The inspector attempts to determine the overall electrical service size, but such estimates are not guaranteed because the overall capacity may be diminished by lesser-rated components in the system. Any repairs recommended should be made by a licensed electrician.

Heating, Ventilation & A/C If Applicable (HVAC)Table of contents
Limitations: The following items are not included in this inspection: humidifiers, dehumidifiers, electronic air filters; solar, coal or wood-fired heat systems; thermostat or temperature control accuracy and timed functions; heating components concealed within the building structure or in inaccessible areas; underground utilities and systems; safety devices and controls (due to automatic operation). Any comments made regarding these items are as a courtesy only. Note that the inspector does not provide an estimate of remaining life on heating or cooling system components, does not determine if heating or cooling systems are appropriately sized, does not test coolant pressure, or perform any evaluations that require a pilot light to be lit, a shut-off valve to be operated, a circuit breaker to be turned "on" or a serviceman's or oil emergency switch to be operated. It is beyond the scope of this inspection to determine if furnace heat exchangers are intact and free of leaks. Condensation pans and drain lines may clog or leak at any time and should be monitored while in operation in the future. Where buildings contain furnishings or stored items, the inspector may not be able to verify that a heat source is present in all "liveable" rooms (e.g. bedrooms, kitchens and living/dining rooms).
General heating system type(s): Forced air, Furnace, Gas fireplace or stove
General heating distribution type(s): Ducts and registers
Last service date of primary heat source: Unknown
Forced air heating system fuel type: Natural gas
Estimated age of forced air furnace: 2019
Forced air heating system manufacturer: Goodman
Location of forced air furnace: Garage, Mechanical room
Location for forced air filter(s): At top of air handler
Type of combustion air supply: Vent(s) to exterior
Cooling system and/or heat pump fuel type: Electric
Type: Split system
Estimated age of heat pump or air conditioning unit: 2019
Manufacturer of cooling system and/or heat pump: Goodman
18)  Furnace and A/C were functioning at time of inspection.

The inspector was unable to determine the last service date for the HVAC system. Ask the property owner when it was last serviced. If this system was serviced more than 1 year ago, for warranty purposes recommend that a qualified HVAC contractor inspect, clean, and service this system. For safety and warranty reasons, and because this system is fueled by gas, this servicing should be performed annually in the future. Any needed repairs noted in this report should be brought to the attention of the HVAC contractor when it's serviced.

The filter should be changed upon move in. How often a filter should be changed depends on environmental factors (ie pets, smoking, dust, etc) but a general rule of thumb is every 3 months. Adjust time according to observation.

The estimated useful life for most forced air furnaces is 15-20 years, A/C condensing units is 10-15 years.

19)  A passive radon system was found at the property.
A passive system is typically installed at the time the house was constructed and has two elements:
(1) a vent pipe extending from the sub-slab gravel up to above the roof or eave
(2) a physical barrier (polyethylene membrane) between the soil and house foundation.

The main difference between passive and active radon mitigation systems is that the passive system relies on natural pressure differentials and air currents instead of a fan (used with active radon mitigation systems) to draw radon up from below the home.

Per the Environmental Protection Agency, “Passive subslab suction is generally not as effective in reducing high radon levels as active subslab suction.” These systems will reduce radon levels but may not reduce the levels below the 4.0 pCi/L action level. Because of this, we recommend testing the home for radon gas. If the test result is 4.0 pCi/L or above, a qualified radon mitigation contractor can easily add a vent fan to an existing passive system to further reduce the radon level in the home

Fireplaces, Stoves, Chimneys and FluesTable of contents
Limitations: The following items are not included in this inspection: coal stoves, gas logs, chimney flues (except where visible). Any comments made regarding these items are as a courtesy only. Note that the inspector does not determine the adequacy of drafting or sizing in fireplace and stove flues, and also does not determine if prefabricated or zero-clearance fireplaces are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. The inspector does not perform any evaluations that require a pilot light to be lit, and does not light fires. The inspector provides a basic visual examination of a chimney and any associated wood burning device. The National Fire Protection Association has stated that an in-depth Level 2 chimney inspection should be part of every sale or transfer of property with a wood-burning device. Such an inspection may reveal defects that are not apparent to the home inspector who is a generalist.
Gas fireplace or stove type: Metal pre-fab fireplace
Fan or blower installed in gas-fired fireplace or stove: Yes
Gas-fired flue type: Direct vent
20)  The glass front on the gas fireplace had a hazy film. This is typically a mineral residue left from water vapor as the gas burns. It may be possible to clean this fogging by removing the glass from the fireplace and using a gas appliance ceramic glass cleaner, available through gas fireplace and stove distributors and installers. Ammonia-based products, such as common glass cleaners, should not be used since they can cause damage or etching to the glass, or make the haze permanent. It may be possible for a homeowner to remove the glass for cleaning, if the instructions for the fireplace are available and if the homeowner is experienced in such repairs. Consult with a qualified specialist for more information, or to have them do the cleaning.
Photo
Photo 20-1 
21)  Gas fireplace and blower were functional at time of inspection.

Recommend that the client review all available documentation for gas-fired fireplaces and stoves. Depending on how they are operated (for routine heating versus ambiance), such appliances may need servicing annually or every few years. Consult with the property owner and/or a qualified specialist to determine if service is needed now. Any needed repairs noted in this report should be brought to the attention of the specialist when it's serviced. For more information visit:
