    First thing we do before watching a TH-cam video is take a picture of it to show the screen before you play it, then watch the video, then take a picture to show it's just as you left it. If the video spins or pauses while watching I put it in my report.

      R22 is pricey, but if it’s working properly, and many still do, “not worth fixing” is a bit out of his depth for a recommendation.
      I had a homeowner call me in for a follow up HVAC inspection because of a home inspector report. Nothing wrong with the unit, other than being an R22 unit. The buyers wanted a $12k discount on account of that.
      They lost the sale.

    As a first-time home buyer, this is a great video. Im no inspector so a lot of this will go over my head in practice but it gives me a way to do a preliminary visual inspection of the house before deciding a house is worth making an offer on. I definitely think after watching this video its more than worth it for me to hire a professional inspector before buying the home. Its just really cool to see what an inspector does and how a truly professional inspector would go about their job. Im a huge DIYer so this really helps me make an Educated guess on weather or not a fixerupper is worth the real inspection. Good video 10/10 almost overly informative

    What a great video. I had such a different experience. My inspector was only in the house for 45 mins and only gave me 14 page report. The house is only 5 years old and he only found roof problems. Maybe that's why the inspection was so short. 🤷🏻

    I have been doing home inspections for 17+ years, and as an electrical engineer and former field electrician, my first observation of watching the first 14 minutes of your video is that obviously you've never been nailed at a breaker panel. If you had, you would not be using a standard screwdriver to turn/remove screws anywhere on that panel. You're also asking for a possible fatal shock when you remove the dead front using both hands. I NEVER remove any panel screws without using an insulated screwdriver and magnetic insulated handles to remove the dead front. I have come across more than one panel screw that was installed next to a hot wire inside the panel, and when it was removed it scraped the insulation off that wire and made quite a flash. You also better hope that you don't slip when removing that dead front with your bare hands and allow the metal to touch any part of that buss.

    Can you explain or point me where to find more info on what he meant when he said, when a furnace and or water heater are in close proximity to a dryer gas or electric there is a chance of of starving the equipment of combustion air. How would an electric dryer pull air back out of a water heater flue for example, thanks

    • @internachi
      @internachi  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      A dryer, even an electrical dryer, is a mechanical ventilation appliance. It exhausts air out of the house. Through is dryer vent pipe. So, it's exhausting indoor air that could/may be used for combustion. It's a common scenario. That's why IRC Chapter 17 is dedicated to combustion air codes.iccsafe.org/content/IRC2018P3/chapter-17-combustion-air

  • @theflorentine5047
    @theflorentine5047 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I dis agree- it is not the home inspectors job to "de value" a house because of older equipment- It is not a defect ! Too many home inspectors take it too far and devalue because they feel they need to "find" something. An old AC UNIT IS NOT A DEFECT AND ONLY STATE IT'S AGE AND EXPECTED LIFE. These inspections have killed deals for no good reason

    • @internachi
      @internachi  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I disagree. Home inspectors do not kill deals. There's a buyer for every house. And the condition of a system, including its age, should not be a problem for someone who has found their dream home.
