Does anyone have a good graphic and/or PDF to explain how a water heater/air conditioner heat recovery system works? I'm looking for something to imbed in the report to educate the buyer.
Thanks in advance,
Reece

Happy birthday David!

On an inspection yesterday on a home built in 2004, the label on the air handler indicated that it needed a minimum ampacity of 59 amps. The circuit breaker for the air handler was rated at 45 amps. To make matters worse, the wire connected to the circuit breaker was a 10 gauge wire which,as I understand it, is only rated for 30 amps.

First of all, how was this unit operating without tripping the breaker? Second of all, am I right that the wire is undersized?

I saw this in an attic the other day and it seemed unusual to me. This home is less than 10 years old and had 2 furnaces. The upstairs furnace is in a closet on the upper level. Any thoughts why these vent lines would not extend above the roofline?

Thanks in advance

This is inside a 1974 mobile home. Any comment I could put on the report other than not to code

First time I've seen it.

Feels wrong.

Thoughts?

I inspected a house which has a wall heater that vents through the exterior wall. The vent is located about 6 inches from where the main propane line enters the home. The guy who filled the propane tank said this was a concern. I can't find any requirements regarding this condition. Any thoughts.

Are these holes from the original fasteners that are missing or are they from an attempt to repair the slate roof by nailing through the slate. I found one nail threw the slate covered with tar. House is 70 years old. Is this about the time that the fasteners give out? Thanks for any info from the slate experts.

Just lobbing a grenade and running for the hills before the weekend. LOL :p

I may be the only one, or one of many who received email addressed "Internachi member" that went on to tell me of a person who died in a plane crash, had my last name, and had assigned no heirs. Just wanted to advise us all of it. This even had a news link of the fatal crash. Too bad these jerks can't be weeded out.

Hi Nick,

Taking some time off of the message board but wanted to say thanks for the pin and for the 10 years of being associated with NACHI.

So far so good. ;-)

:D

Can you have Levi do a logo for the Inspectoscope?
