"Highly recommend WHI. Darren is very thorough and informative when it comes to the inspection. He points out areas of potential concern now, as well as explains what you could be looking at 5 to 10 years down the road based on age of home. He is extremely knowledgeable in this area and gives you a very thorough report. I would absolutely recommend him for your next home inspection."

"Kris is amazing. Not only did he help walk us through aspects of the home in terms of an inspection, but he also helped with general questions about the house that we were unaware of. As a first time buyer this was crucial to get a deeper understanding of the home. We now have a path to take for overall improvement outside of the buying process. I highly recommend Kris for his service. Thank you Kris!!"

"Working with Damian was such a pleasure. He is knowledgeable, his prices are very reasonable and this man goes above and beyond. It was the best experience I have ever had hiring a home pro. I always prefer local owned businesses over corporate affiliates so it was a no brainer for me when choosing this company. I am so pleased with the service and will keep him in my contacts. Damian with Elite Indoor Air is a real one. And we all know that genuine, honest people are incredibly difficult to find these days."

Home Inspection FAQs, answered by experts

It can be safe to buy or live in a house with knob and tube (K&T) wiring, but only if the system is in good condition, functional, and has been thoroughly inspected and approved by a licensed electrician. Never purchase a home with K&T wiring without getting a professional electrical inspection first.

Key considerations include:

  • Safety and Condition: An inspector will verify that the wiring is safe and has not deteriorated. Over time, the insulation can wear away, leaving exposed wires that pose a significant fire or shock hazard.

  • System Capacity: The electrical service should be at least 60 amps. However, even at this capacity, K&T systems often struggle to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics.

  • Lack of Grounding: Knob and tube wiring is an ungrounded system, which is a safety concern for many modern devices.

  • Ongoing Maintenance: If you live in a home with K&T wiring, it's recommended to have it inspected by an electrician every one to two years to ensure it remains in safe working order.

Ultimately, any inspection or modification of a knob and tube system should always be performed by a certified professional.

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’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—usually five to ten years—or you’re seeing evidence of water damage or pest infestation in your chimney, it’s a good idea to replace the cap.

To determine if you’re being overcharged, request an itemized price breakdown of the project. Check for hidden fees or project expenses, from parts to labor, that are clearly overpriced. However, the easiest way to know if a contractor is overcharging you is by getting an estimate for the same project from another professional. Negotiating with a contractor if you have another bid for a lower price is possible.

Common warning signs of an overloaded electrical panel or meter box include frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering or dimming lights, scorch or burn marks, and a burning scent coming from the panel. A circuit breaker trips as a protective measure to prevent overheating and potential fires. If you observe any of these signs, turn off the affected circuit breaker and move some devices to a different circuit. If the problem persists after turning the breaker back on, you should contact a professional electrician to resolve the issue.

Prepare to leave your home for a long absence by making sure small appliances and electronic devices are unplugged. You should also shut valves to your sinks, dishwasher, and washing machine. Set your thermostat closer to outside temperatures or a minimum of 55 degrees Fahrenheit, stop your mail (or have someone pick it up), and put at least one light on a timer.
