Q: What’s the difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector?

• <div><p>The difference between an energy auditor and a home inspector is primarily in the purpose of the inspection. The energy auditor conducts tests in your home to determine the energy efficiency levels in areas like windows, insulation, and doorways. The auditor then makes recommendations for ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/will-energy-audit-lower-my-heating-costs.htm">improve a home&rsquo;s energy efficiency</a>. </p><p>A home inspector examines various structures of your home to determine that everything is up to code and gauge the condition of features like the roof, foundation, HVAC, and electrical. The home inspector reports on the overall home and makes repair recommendations.</p></div>

Q: How long does a wind mitigation inspection report last?

• <div><p>After you pass your wind mitigation inspection, you&rsquo;ll receive a report you can send to your insurance company when you request a discount. This report is valid for five years. If you switch providers within that five-year window, your new insurer may ask you to get another inspection if you want a discounted premium.</p></div>

Q: Why do you need to inspect a fireplace?

• <div><p>An annual inspection can ensure that a fireplace is in proper working order to avoid fire hazards and the release of carbon monoxide into the home. Not all fireplace issues, especially blockages, are easily visible from inside or outside the home, which is why a professional must conduct a thorough internal inspection of all of the fireplace and chimney components.</p></div>

Q: How often should window frames be inspected or maintained?

• <div><p>Annually, to ensure they remain watertight and in good condition.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my chimney cap is bad?

• <div><p>If you see rust spots or streaks or any physical damage to the chimney cap from the ground, you should hire a professional to inspect and replace it. If it&rsquo;s safe to get up on your roof or near your chimney cap with a ladder, you can perform a closer inspection to identify issues. Additionally, if you know your chimney cap is nearing the end of its life&mdash;usually five to ten years&mdash;or you&rsquo;re seeing evidence of water damage or pest infestation in your chimney, it&rsquo;s a good idea to replace the cap.</p></div>

I would definitely recommend ADK!! Kent was awesome! Communicated beautifully about where he was in the process. Did a very thorough and comprehensive inspection. Got the report to me with lightning speed. I was very impressed! If I could give a 10 star rating I would.

I called Scott and he scheduled an appt for two days later, and since we were under buying a house we were under a 14day deadline to get a lot of things done and he was able to wipe his part off the board. His whole demeanor was perfect he made us laugh which made the stress all that much...

Quick completion, cleaned up well. Disappointed that they had to return after the first rain to seal around the chimney to stop a small leak. Will have a better idea of how they did after the next rain. Otherwise a good experience.

I chose Freedom HVAC for their good rating on Angie's List and their ability to service the next day. I thought I was clear (on phone and a separate e-mail that I said I was going to send during the phone call and promptly did) that the service rep should call me when he got to the house (a...

The workers arrived, and roof was torn off the first day, and metal roof was on the second day. They cleaned up each day, which was good. It took about a week to finish all the wood repair on the fascia, and install the gutters. There was good communication, and the work is top notch!! ...

This was a great experience. Mr. Larry Brooks and AlaTech Home Inspection Service was the only inspector I could find to service my area. He had to drive around 3 hours to my location but he was happy to do so. It only cost $350 for a full inspection and it was well worth it. He inspected...
