Why Should You Invest in a Home Inspection? Call today! We'll come to you! Buying a home is one of life's biggest purchases for any individual or family. Like any other major purchase, it requires thought, research, and asking lots of questions. Becoming a home owner is a big investment, and the costs of unknown repairs can sneak up if you don't know about them beforehand a home inspection can help give you, the buyer, and the peace of mind of knowing what you're "getting yourself into," per se. It will give you a better idea of potential problems and repairs you may have to put money into, either down the road or shortly after your purchase. The home inspection can also be a great learning experience for the potential buyer or seller, seeing as most people don't know a lot about their house other than the basics. It is a worthwhile investment and one that every buyer and seller should consider to ensure they are educated and can feel confident in making one of the biggest decisions of their lives. As a prospective buyer, you want to know you are making a good investment and/or you are prepared to accept the house "as is," or perhaps to negotiate with the seller to fix some of the defects. As a seller, you may want to know what doesn't quite measure up in your home before you market it--there's a lot less stress knowing beforehand what might hold up a deal. Or as an owner, you may have lost your home's "Owner's Manual," and want to learn about your home's systems, proper maintenance and the importance of such, along with an inspection of all systems and the structure. Perhaps, before you decide whether to sell or invest in upgrading your house, you'd like to know just where your home stands relative to current standards.

On 10/10/2014, while preparing to purchase my first home, I received a home inspection from A Happy House Home Inspection LLC. In the report I received for this inspection A Happy House Home Inspection LLC indicated that the "Approximate age of furnace:" was 2004 (10 years old). Additionally, in the report A Happy House Home Inspection LLC indicated that the “Approximate age of Hot Water Heater:” was 2007 (7 years old)

I recently put the house back on the market and In November of 2016 I received an inspection report from a potential buyer. In the potential buyer's inspection report it indicated that the furnace was 37+ years old. Due to the discrepancy in reports I had a handful of HVAC professionals come out and confirm the age of the furnace. The furnace is in fact from 1979 and not from 2004 as A Happy House LLC indicated on my report. The age of the furnace is identified via the serial number on the side of the unit. I was able to take a picture of the serial number, google it, and determine the age of the appliance.

In the buyers inspection report it also indicated that the Hot Water Heater was from 2000 (not from 2007). The gap in age is not as drastic as the furnace and it may fall within the realm of approximation. However, it should be noted that the age of the hot water is also identified by a serial number. The serial number is on the side of the hot water heater. Once again I was able to look at the serial number and get on the internet to determine the exact age of the hot water heater.

When confronted with the discrepancies the owner (who also happens to be the individual who conducted my inspection), Hans Coleman, refused to take ownership of his error. Rather, he pointed me to the generic language placed in the report to cover the inspector in the event of unseen issues.

If you can’t trust A Happy House LLC to correctly read the serial number of a major appliance why would you trust anything in their report?
