Are you scanning electrical the panel
Do you scan the panel during the course of a standard inspection. I have had a big run lately in detecting major problems that would have gone un-detected without the camera. Only detected one problem that would have been noticed with out it. Every thing from loose connections at the weather head to un-even heating on 220-volt circuits for cook stoves and dryers This camera has paid for itself with shower pans and electrical panels. Business is really up.
