Left my home inspection business in Florida behind and starting anew in TN. I’ll be purchasing new equipment. Wanted to pick the brains of a few of you experienced inspectors out there about preferred brands and models for specifically four items that I’ll be needing.

a moisture meter

gas sniffer/detector

carbon monoxide detector

and an infrared camera

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Josh Howell

Didn’t you have any of those items with your last business?

If you’re starting a new there is no reason for those last three items. Combustible gas you can smell (lot of false positives with those sniffers), rarely ever need a CO detector and an infrared camera has never been needed for a HI (ancillary service maybe - for an additional charge, but you don’t even know what your new market will be like?)
