2007 built, high end home.
In floor heat on lower level and tiled areas. Almost every room had one of these plugged into an outlet in the room on all levels. Must have been 12-15 of them. I'm used to seeing these when someone is covering a funky smell in a POS but never in a large newer home. Any thoughts? "Never underestimate the difficulty of changing false beliefs by facts." |

I hope they didn't mix scents...
I report what I see and recommend asking the homeowner/seller about it. ____________________________________________ "An Education, not just an Inspection" Larry Kage Lake Ann (Traverse City), Michigan 49650 231 929 3525 Professional Inspector and Infrared Thermographer serving the Traverse City, Michigan area and beyond.

I would have checked the moisture content in the carpets. I've even go as far as performing an up-close carpet sniff test.

I unplug them on my first pass through the house. After I do the exterior and roof, I pay close attention to my nose when I reenter the home the second time.
