Home Inspectors

[John120/240]

Mike, You are employed by a municipality correct ? So the violations that you cite are enforceable correct ? Deficiencies noted by a Home Inspector are only recommendations used by the home buyer to negotiate a lower price,

Nope. Code Consultant. If you are looking at my credentials "Official" is just part of the cert. Does not mean AHJ.

Thank You for clearing that up. For the longest time I had the idea that you were a municipal inspector of some sort.

At this site we can have an opinion as long as we're not personalizing it. I try to be forum abiding.

. . . my question is are there any books for "inspecting" residential electrical systems that are well known for both thoroughness in "needed" knowledge and good graphics OR are there any exceptional videos known that cover the electrical inspection?

You might find that this book fits the bill:
