Only exteriorreceptacles that are attached to the house will be tested or inspected. No ancillary or low voltage wiring istested or inspected. 3-prong type receptacles are checked for polarity and grounding, 2-prong receptaclesfor polarity and function. Meters are not used to determine specific line voltage.

The purpose of the inspection is to determine if the heating system (and air conditioning if so equipped)responds to the normal operating controls. The airflow of forced air systems is check at a few randomlyselected vents. The adequacy or efficiency of the system and the condition of internal components such asheat exchangers is not evaluated as they are mostly concealed. This service can be arranged with alicensed HVAC technician if desired. In every case it is recommended that you have a routine heatingsystem evaluation and service unless the owner has documentation that it was done recently.
