Is anybody putting on there inspection reports BTU’s?, Just curious, Most inspection reports I have seen in Florida no one is putting this. I won’t lie I haven’t been putting this. Just maybe wanted to bring it to everyone attention. I guess going forward I am going to place BTU’s in the report.
Let the discussion began, :mrgreen::twisted::shock:
Haha, Most of the time I have to read labels:roll: I did a couple of State Farm 4-points this week and they did ask about tonnage. So now doing research tonight and going through our SOP, I found this. So you are right… What’s one more picture:twisted:

Yes, I have been doing that for years. And that inpicture is automatically included in my inspection reports already so it goes into the four point inspection. No extra work for me!
