Default Code Inspections

I'm looking for feedback on what inspectors do when they are inspecting a newer furnace and there is no inspection sticker indicating the furnace was inspected by the governing municipality (city, township, etc.)

Do you call it out?

Regardless of whether there's an inspection sticker, you should note that the system is not original.

"This system is not original, and you should request documentation that could include a warranty and guarantee and confirm that it was installed by a specialist and to current standards."



IF YOUR INSPECTOR IS NOT USING THERMAL IMAGING, YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE WHOLE PICTURE ®

The first question is; do they have a mechanical inspection?

Just because there are mechanical codes does NOT mean the equipment is inspected everywhere.

Besides, your not checking up on the code department are you?
