comfortable level while maintaining indoor air quality, ventilation while keeping maintenance costs at
a minimum. The HVAC system is usually powered by electricity and natural gas, but can also be
powered by other sources such as butane, oil, propane, solar panels, or wood.

Bathroom
Bathrooms can consist of many features from jacuzzi tubs and showers to toilets and bidets.
Because of all the plumbing involved it is an important area of the house to look over. Moisture in the
air and leaks can cause mildew, wallpaper and paint to peel, and other problems. The home
inspector will identify as many issues as possible but some problems may be undetectable due to
problems within the walls or under the flooring..
