WHAT IS A “HOME INSPECTION”?

A home inspection is an objective visual and physical examination of the home’s heating system, central air conditioning system (temperature permitting), interior plumbing and electrical systems; the roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors; the foundation, basement, and visible structure. Having a home inspected is like giving it a physical check-up. If problems or symptoms are found, the inspector may recommend further evaluation and repair by a licensed professional in a specific field. The average A.C.E. home inspection lasts approximately two hours.
