Nick - I think its great we got the PR, but there was nothing of any valid substance in the article. All the article said was some guy got a home inspection - moved in - discovered a disconnected A/C duct - spent $1,500 on legal fees and getting it fixed - and all he got was a $225 refund of his inspection fee. Gosh if we just had licensure and mandatory E&O insurance everything would have been better.


With nothing more than that to go on - the GUY really got screwed, and the big part wasn't the inspector. As a past HVAC factory rep and builder
$225 is more than enough to cover a service call to reconnect a duct.

With most E&O insurance deductibles being $1,000 to $2,000, this would not have been something that would go to the insurance company. We don't climb up to a ceiling and feel how much air is coming out of A/C registers, and there are dozens of places in the average attic that a duct could be disconnected or pulled loose and not be seen - unless you were specifically looking for it.

As a contractor that carries about 11 different licenses, you're not going to go after or get someones license because they didn't manage to spot a disconnected A/C duct. When doctors, realtors, engineers, architects, builders, contractors, etc. not being required to carry E&O - its totally ludicrous for a home inspector with just one little speck of intelligence to consider for 1 minute that we should make this mandatory for ourselves.

At that point-in-time, you have put your ability to do business in direct relation to your ability to buy insurance. Stupid thought!!!!

PR for NACHI - Good!! Article - Way Out in left field as written!!

Dan,


Just the mere fact that The New York Times carried the article is a great boost to NACHI, and by Nick's statement certainly helped to enhance our image, not to mention the www.FindAnInspector.com certainly didn't hurt either.    

I really liked the fact that the author really allowed Nick's comments, which personally, I thought were great.

To each his own thoughts!

Way to go Nick 

Ron.

No consumer/reader will analyze it much. I didn’t even read it word for word. All a reader will get from it is that…


---consumers can end up with big headaches if they don't get a good inspector.

---consumers should go to www.FindAnInspector.US to avoid such headaches.

Once read, all they'll do is cut it out and hang it on their refrigerator so they can find our web address later.

Nick

PS. I'm going after the regional papers next. I have 2 more interviews this week.
