Frank Magdefrau, Certified Home Inspector

How safe is your air filter change?

Have you ever thought about unsafe conditions around your home? Each day I find unsafe conditions around homes. These homes could be brand new or 100 years old.

The photo below was taken during a new home inspection. There was no level platform installed in front of the heating and air unit. There was also no walkway installed to the unit. However the Certificate of Occupancy was issued. All homes should be inspected regardless of the homes age.

Heating and air unit in attic

Walkways should be at least 20" wide and no further than 20' in all attics

A 30" level platform should be present on the control side of the heating and air unit in attic spaces
