Transcripts

Vince Clingenpeel: I m Vince Clingenpeel, Home Inspector. We re talking about what you should expect from your inspector. Now I m around the backside of the house and I m looking at the air conditioning unit. First thing I do is look at the unit itself as I m walking to it. The cleanliness, the age, whether there is any rust, just a general, overall condition. The sticker here will tell me the size of the unit and the age of it.

I m standing next to the gas meter and although, this is not a homeowner property and belongs to the gas company. When I look at it I notice this meter is split, which means it has a tap. There is an additional connection here that goes to a gas line. That tells me I m looking for something else. In this case, I already know it s the gas fireplace.

Now, we re at the disconnect. This is just a quick, little inspection to check the general condition of it and see that it matches with the label on the air conditioning unit. Now that I know that it s a newer unit, many times people will put in a new unit and not change this box. Now let s go over and look at the drop line.
