You might get more suggestions if you first indicate how you would write it up and then ask for opinions on that??


This way it kinda just looks like you're trying to get someone else to write your report.

I'd also suggest external links to the photos instead of inline images. The inline images cause people to have to scroll across the screen to see it all, even the comments and is murder on the dial up guys as they don't have a choice about waiting to download the picture.

Just a thought or two.

Nationwide generally accepted building practices do not allow flues in the return air plenum.


A large amount of rust was noted in the bottom of the heat exchanger.

The inspection covers only the percentage visible. Hidden problems may exist that are not documented in this report. Note: Furnace heat exchangers are not readily accessible. Disassembling the furnace, which should only be done by a qualified HVAC contractor, is necessary for proper inspection of the heat exchanger. Disassembling the furnace is beyond the scope of this inspection.

I recommend that you consult a qualified heating and air conditioning contractor to determine the best repair method, estimate costs, and perform the necessary repairs.
