Although the roof of the house is examined for general quality and condition, any broken or chipped tiles or partially damaged shingles will not be noted in this report. The HVAC inspection includes a visual check for the presence of the units and a temperature adjustment test to make sure the system is operating in accordance with industry standards. The ductwork, refrigerant lines, filter condition, interior and exterior coil condition, and other items are examined in the comprehensive home inspection and are not included in this inspection. The electrical system of the house is examined visually by looking at the electrical panel to make sure there is a sufficient power supply and suitable wiring. Furthermore, only outlets that are GFCI protected are inspected; nevertheless, non-protected outlets, lighting fixtures, fans, and meters will not be checked. To check for correct supply pressure and drainage, the plumbing of the house is also tested by running water in sinks, showers, and flushing toilets. Additionally, a visual inspection and a heating temperature test are performed on the water heater. Any potential safety risks with the water heater, however, are not mentioned in the paper.

Additionally, it is NOT a promise that you will be approved by the insurance company, that the house is insurable, that the carrier won't demand any additional certifications or inspections, or that you won't need to have repairs done after the home inspection.

Due to the rise in claims, many insurance companies are abandoning the homeowner's insurance market, and the few that remain demand, before writing the policy, the completion of a 4 point inspection, a roof certification, or full roof inspection, as well as a wind mitigation inspection. Therefore, if you require a 4 point, we advise that you always ask your insurance provider.
