What are “The Mechanicals” On A Home Inspection
Ever wondered what a home inspector is talking about when he refers to “the mechanicals”?
Glenn Wright of Pillar To Post has succinctly summerised the 4 components:
Heating:
Clean and in good mechanical condition
No strange noises and signs of wear and tear
Cooling:
All equipment is in good physical condition
Exterior units are level and free of debris in the fins and housing
Ventilation:
All filters are clean
All ducts and registers are free of obstruction
All exterior discharge vents are protected weatherproof units
Plumbing:
No damaged fixtures or fittings
No damaged or defective water heaters
No lead or galvanized piping
With the extremes of weather we experience here on Georgian Bay it is essential that “the mechanicals” are in good working order to ensure a comfortable home.
