[Ben J. Gromicko]

Ben Gromicko tears apart a mid-efficiency gas-fired heating system to demonstrate how impossible it is to inspect for a cracked heat exchanger during a normal home inspection.

Very nice Ben. How about a video of you putting that back together.

[Bobby Hamilton]

That is a excellent video to show clients why we cannot inspect the heat exchanger. Although it would be priceless to see the looks on everyone's faces if you did start tearing it apart.

Thanks - it was fun - I hope everyone takes advantage of the free video - it's part of a larger course that is excellent.

1 - set expectations of your client
2 - there are many vital things that are simply beyond a visual inspection - and that's okay
3 - use good narratives
4 - use good disclaimers
5 - learn more than you think you need to know

If you're still having problems getting the video to play - click the link - then REFRESH your browser.

All I saw was pay $200

[Dan Bowers, CMI]

Can we save it to our computer to show customers OR can it be saved on a CD for the same purpose (including with their report).

That's for the course
The video about the heat exchanger is free
Screen shot of what you should be seeing.
