43 3. Heating condition Last service date is over one year ago, or is unable to be determined. Unit appears to be operating properly from controls, there are areas which cannot be seen without specialized equipment and training. One such area is the combustion chamber / heat exchanger where cold air blows across the "fire box", becoming the hot air that circulates throughout your home. During the life span of any furnace, this metal wall may develop a crack or a broken weld, allowing carbon monoxide to circulate throughout the home. Recommend service and inspection by licensed HVAC contractor prior to closing 4. Venting Natural-draft type gas water heater vent pipes should have a "WYE" and not a "T" type connection to a common flue vent pipe that comes from a draft-induced (fan assisted) gas furnace. This prevents exhaust gases from the mechanical draft type furnace from being pushed back to the natural draft vent pie and contaminating the living space. 5. Filters Location: Right side of furnace filter location Page 41 of 56

44 6. Oil Tank Oil lines/oil vent pipe present indicating there may be an underground oil storage tank. If there is a tank should be checked to see that all oil has been drained from the tank and checked to ensure that no leaking has occurred. Generally municipalities will either require, triple rinsing, filling the tank with a slurry type material, or removal of the tank if it will not undermine the foundation. This jurisdiction generally falls under the local fire department. Strongly recommend conditions be investigated further and corrected as required as a leaking tank could result in hazardous waste cleanup. If the tank has been decommissioned there should be documentation. Page 42 of 56

54 Glossary Term Air Gap Cellulose Expansion Tank GFCI TPR Valve Definition Glossary Air gap (drainage): The unobstructed vertical distance through free atmosphere between the outlet of the waste pipe and the flood-level rim of the receptacle into which the waste pipe is discharged. Cellulose insulation: Ground-up newspaper that is treated with fire-retardant. An expansion tank or expansion vessel is a small tank used to protect closed (not open to atmospheric pressure) water heating systems and domestic hot water systems from excessive pressure. The tank is partially filled with air, whose compressibility cushions shock caused by water hammer and absorbs excess water pressure caused by thermal expansion. A special device that is intended for the protection of personnel by de-energizing a circuit, capable of opening the circuit when even a small amount of current is flowing through the grounding system. The thermostat in a water heater shuts off the heating source when the set temperature is reached. If the thermostat fails, the water heater could have a continuous rise in temperature and pressure (from expansion of the water). The temperature and pressure could continue to rise until the pressure exceeds the pressure capacity of the tank (300 psi). If this should happen, the super-heated water would boil and expand with explosive force, and the tank would burst. The super-heated water turns to steam and turns the water heater into an unguided missile. To prevent these catastrophic failures, water heaters are required to be protected for both excess temperature and pressure. Usually, the means of protection is a combination temperature- and pressurerelief valve (variously abbreviated as T&P, TPV, TPR, etc.). Most of these devices are set to operate at a water temperature above 200 F and/or a pressure above 150 psi. Do not attempt to test the TPR valve yourself! Most water heating systems should be serviced once a year as a part of an annual preventive maintenance inspection by a professional heating and cooling contractor.

55 Report Summary Report Summary This is a visual inspection. No destructive testing is performed. This is not a soil inspection nor do we inspect for formaldehyde, radon, asbestos, Chinese drywall, lead paint, mold, hazardous materials/substances, landscape lighting, sprinkler systems, septic systems/drain fields, smoke alarms or recreational equipment such as Jacuzzis etc.. It is recommended that noted deficiencies be investigated further by licensed companies specializing in those disciplines. Inspection is subject to conditions at the time of inspection. Appliances are checked to see if they're in operable condition. This is not a code inspection as codes change frequently and vary between municipalities. We make no guarantees for expected life. It is impossible to verify conditions of places inaccessible in walls under and in between floors, behind furniture appliances etc., and we assume no responsibility for those items as such. Estimates for repairs are approximations and we do not guarantee their accuracy. Possible solutions for problems are solely opinions based on conditions at the time of the inspection and are not to be assumed as being totally conclusive The summary below consists of potentially significant findings. These findings can be a safety hazard, a deficiency requiring a major expenses or further investigation to correct or items I would like to draw extra attention to. The summary is not a complete listing of all the findings in the report, and reflects the opinion of the inspector. Please review all of the pages of the report as the summary alone does not explain all the issues. We recommend repairs should be done by licensed &bonded contractors. We also recommend obtaining a copy of all receipts, warranties and permits for the work done.
