Heat index 112 F, Attic Nice-n-Cool;-)

By
Home Inspector with Foundation-2-Rooftop, Inc.

This was one of those dreadful days when you get out of your car for the home inspection and your entire body immediately beads up with sweat.  It was 100 degrees F with 112 heat index.

I saved the attic for last.  Got out my infrared thermometer and was expecting it to be 140-150 degrees.  To my surprise, it was only 105!  The elderly Seller had a disconnected supply run that was dumping 50 degree air into the attic.  That explained why the A/C wasn't cooling the house too well;-)

Greg Wayman I will bet the buyers will be relieved when they receive their electric bill reflecting the reconnected supply run. Home inspectors are worth every penny!
