Inspecting the HVAC System for Duct Leaks and Energy Loss

Read the Article
Many homes are equipped with central forced-air systems that rely on ducts to transport heated or cooled air from the furnace or heat pump to the rest of the home. If the ducts are leaky, this can lead to poor HVAC performance and comfort problems through loss of heated or cooled air, creating a loss of air pressure in the ducts.

Prevent a Stink, Include a Link

Click here for a legal tip.
At least 95% of the complaints we see against home inspectors arise because their client did not understand the limited scope of the inspection.  
​
​We encourage inspectors to include a link to InterNACHI’s Standards of Practice (or the relevant state SOP) on their websites. This simple modification to your website may prove useful if an unhappy client ever sues you or threatens legal action.

Did You Ever Fail the NHIE?

Dear Home Inspector,

​InterNACHI is researching a potential lawsuit against the administrators of the National Home Inspector Examination, or NHIE.  InterNACHI believes that the NHIE is a flawed exam that doesn't accurately test inspector competency, especially compared to InterNACHI’s Online Inspector Exam.

Help Fight HomeSafe

Dear Home Inspector,
​
InterNACHI is researching and preparing a federal lawsuit against HomeSafe Inspection, Inc., and its president, Kevin Seddon.  The basis for this suit would be HomeSafe's long-standing pattern of misrepresenting the scope of its rights in infrared technology. Many inspectors paid money to HomeSafe or decided not to use IR because of HomeSafe’s threats.
