Not too many real estate professionals get an opportunity to see some of the things that goes on in the home inspection world. I wanted to share an experience of what a home inspectors look for while testing a typical forced air furnace. As the video shows, flame is rolling out of one of the burner cavities which is an indication of a potential cracked heat exchanger.

I love the video tip buddy. Very nice job.

I have yet to see an inspector get this up close and personal with a boiler or furnace in my entire career.

Nice video. Short and to the point. I liked that. And seeing that fire up close was educational.

Hi Michael,

Reminds me of back home. We have electric heat here in Florida, but in New York we heated with natural gas.

Micheal, Great video, Thanks for sharing with us, Home inspectors have been such a blessing to our business. Sad to say I can remember when our area never heard of Having a Home Inspection.
