Please add too, suggest others, or revise this list of typical duties for a

    One Family Dwellings

    Two Family Dwellings

    Three of more family dwellings

    Commercial Stores, Factories, Warehouses

    Mobil Homes and Mobile Home Parks

    Manufactured Homes

    Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs, etc.

    New rough wiring

    Special equipment, such as sump pumps, well pumps, elevators, wheelchair lifts, or HVAC Systems

    Do you prefer True and False; Multiple Choice; or Suggested scenario with images?

    Or a combination of all three?

Joe T.,


Have you considered several tests. For Example:

1. One and Two Family Dwellings.

2. Three or More Family Dwellings.

3. Mobile Homes. (I've never inspected a mobile park???).

4. New Construction.

5. Pools and Spas.

6. HVAC.

As far as commercial, factory's, etc. I would consider this a specialty and beyond the scope of a Home Inspector. However for those involved in these specialty inspections and wanting a test, why not a seperate exam.

Thanks for reading,

Carla,


Just because the sop says we don’t have to inspect pools does not mean we can’t. I would imagine there are not that many pools in NH. In AZ I think somerhing like 1-4 or 5 homes has a pool or a spa. So if you do not inspect pools you lose a lot of work.



I have put the past behind me,


where , however, it now sits, making rude remarks.

Carla,


Swimming pool inspections are just another ancillary inspection like Radon, Lead, etc. About 40% of my inspections include swimming pools, and about 75% include lawn irrigation systems.

If I didn't do them, I would be losing business to my competitors who do! ![icon_sad.gif](upload://nMBtKsE7kuDHGvTX96IWpBt1rTb.gif)

General Requirements

Permanently Installed Pools

Joe … You should contact Gerry Beaumont concerning new tests for NACHI since that is under the responsibility of the NACHI Education Committee.

Hi to all,


Joe, I am pleased that you are looking at areas in which to help our members understand electrical issues better, and I thank you for taking the time to try to understand electrical inspection from a home inspectors perspective.

It is as we all know an important area that requires great understanding as electrical issues relate directly to the safety of both our members and their clients.

Regards

Gerry

Hi guys,


so with inspecting pools, do you guys need any additional
clauses in your E&O policies?

What kinds of things do you inspect with a pool?
