Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, most repair services include thorough safety checks to ensure the system complies with local building and accessibility codes.

There are several indications of an overloaded electrical panel, such as frequent circuit breaker tripping, burn marks, or flickering or dimming lights.

If you’re observing any warning signs, turn the circuit breaker off, then shift some devices from the overloaded circuit to a different one. If there are still signs of overload after turning the circuit break back on, contact a professional electrician to help you fix the issue.

Sometimes, issues with the HVAC system or an unbalanced washing machine could be the reason your house feels like it’s moving, but it could also be other factors. If a large truck passes your house or there is construction in the area, your house may feel like it’s moving, but it will be short-lived and not a sign of a larger issue.

Solar panel inspection costs range between $150 and $350. The system's location can increase the cost, with roof-mounted panels being among the more expensive systems to inspect. Larger systems also cost more because of the time it takes to complete the inspection. Other factors affecting the price include the inverter type, objects around the system, and add-ons you purchase along with the inspection.

Typically, a home inspection takes about two to three hours, depending on the size of the home, the complexity of the layout, the various structures and features, the age of the home, and the condition of the home. During the hiring process, ask your potential home inspector to review the specifications of your home and provide an accurate time estimate for the service.
