InterNACHI member discusses using an IR camera on tonight's news.

Nice …lol thought it was a 10 minute segment to start with but actually 2:50.
Is insurance required in Canada ?

The news show featured an InterNACHI member (Jim Van Loosen), InterNACHI photo I.D. badge, InterNACHI arm patch, IAC2 arm patch, InterNACHI’s Now That You’ve Had a Home Inspection book, InterNACHI’s Certified Professional Inspector emblem, and InterNACHI’s course certificates: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKqhhTRGBi4

Good answer…?

Only in the two provinces that have licensing, Alberta and BC

This inspector is INFRARED CERTIFIED through InterNACHI as well.

Plus he is using the images I provided to show what thermal imaging
can reveal (see slide presentation)

He seem like a very professional inspector.

What do you feel about licensing? .

Has it been good for the industry ?

Has it been good for the Public ?

What has the cost been to the inspector ?

Has the cost gone up now?

Do you expect the cost to keep increasing ?

What does E&O insurance cost now ?

What did E&O cost before licensing ?

Is E&O compulsory now ?

Was E&O compulsory before licensing ?

What is the average cost for a home inspection now ?

What was the average cost for a home inspection before Licensing ?

Thanks for reading this I do hope some give their ideas and thoughts .

If you can add any more info great … Roy

What province do you live in?

I hope he has applied for his CMI Logo along with all the other stuff helping Home Inspectors raise the bar of Professionalism.:wink:

It got InterNACHI and Jim in the news, but says nothing about what is actually being done in the province. It was a very poor news piece. They probably just needed to fill four minutes of news cast.

I watched and was impressed. Not only did he portray himself well and professional, he gave an insight into the professionalism of a NACHI inspector. This is something that has been sadly lacking in the eyes of the public about all inspectors.

I dare suspect that the representatives of the other associations in this Province are a little envious. This was much better advertising than the member interviewed by Market Place a few months back.
