The following is my response to the "Provider Response" below dated 7-31-12:

Frankly, besides the condescending tone of Mr. Pino's "response", I found his letter amazing in its blatant disregard for the truth.  I have several witnesses who would dispute every word of his response, not the least of which is the town building inspector who is extremely familiar with my 1971 (not 1959) home.

I realize that nothing short of a court action will get probably Mr. Pino to pay for the damage that he knows he caused (as do the witnesses who observed him first-hand), and which has been verified by an expert professional service technician who provided a detailed written report of the damage, what caused it, what parts required replacement, and the total cost to me.

Mr. Pino has alluded to his call to the manufacturer of my forced-hot air furnace, claiming that the "technical supervisor", whose name he has NOT provided, told him that the blower could run constantly.  My research has revealed quite the opposite, that these blower motors are NOT built to be constantly running forever because the bearings will eventually wear out.  But I would not expect a manufacturer to state anything other than the wonderful virtues of the product he is selling.  I also do not know how Mr. Pino represented the issue, but judging by his many misrepresentations in his home inspection report, I would not trust that he would represent this issue with any accuracy. . Thus, his narrative alone cannot rise to the level of empirical evidence when in-the-field experts who deal with these issues every day are stating the opposite, in writing!

I believe it is important to warn others that Mr. Pino seems to be more of a used-car salesman than a competent home inspector who will use oratory instead of reality to defend his inaccuracies, such as his clearly stated inability to recognize such things GFCI outlets with big red buttons on them in the master bath and outdoor outlets, or the concrete footings that the legs of my deck are CLEARLY sitting on, or the fact that my heating system and my central air conditioning system are two totally distinct and separate systems.  In his home inspection report, which he wrote, he inaccurately identified them as a single heat-pump-type system.

 I would be happy to invite representatives of Angie's List to my home to see these things for themselves, and allow them to decide impartially who is being truthful vs. who is attempting to sell snake oil.   Thank you for reading this.
