The knowledge drop starts around 3:52 and I agree with some of the other comments here, these vids from master inspectors are just incredible but I think inspectors struggle with the rare things. I would love to see some of these guys looking at boilers, split-systems, heat pumps, oil tanks, oil fueled.......anything, category 2 & 3, geothermal. You get it

It's better to know more than you need to. Remember, the Home Inspection Standards of Practice are the absolute legally minimum standards that an inspector has to follow. Most inspectors learn more in order to do more than just the least legally permitted tasks.
We are not HVAC technicians, we can check the air filter size and condition of the unit housing and furnace for (flame color) and test for visual components and insulation on the lines and make sure it functions in the heating and cooling modes. Follow your states standards of practice and don't make a simple task and E&O nightmare.
Too much information he is not a realtor he is an inspector inspect the HVAC system and move on. No house is going to have air return in every room too expensive to install.
Great job spreading the knowledge of these Master Inspectors who have been in the industry for so long.
We agree, Jim.

This inspectors are inspecting more than is required. If the unit is not working recommend an HVAC contractor.

I agree, but its still good to know more then you need then not enough.
Agreed.
These visuals vids are really helpful in addition to the written content
Agreed. Thank you for watching.
This guy is checking what needs to be checked and not wasting his time.
It's about time management for home inspectors.
How long does it take him to do the HVAC inspection is that all he does? Hasn't gotten to the HVAC inspection after 30 min.
During a home inspection, the inspection of the HVAC system should be about 20 minutes.
I still would love one of these for oil boilers.
You got it. It's on our list of things to do.

Nice.

Yep.
Not comparing his house to others.
Right.
You have to balance between inspection time and wasted time going over standards of practices.
Thanks, Albert.

Yes.
Didn't tell us anything about the inspection. A waste of time.
Sorry you feel that way. I think it's a great presentation.

Not necessarily. It's up to the builder and architect.
