In this fifth module of our program leading to the profession of home inspector, the student will focus on learning about heating and air conditioning systems. As a home inspector, it is important to be familiar with these concepts in order to offer a complete and quality service to his clients. Of course, all properties have heating and air conditioning systems, but they are not always the same. That’s why a broad knowledge of the subject is necessary to become an expert home inspector. Find out more about this fifth module below!
Did you know that there are many types of energy? Also, you will learn more about how heat distribution, control and transfer works, as well as how to properly inspect chimneys (whether they are made of masonry or metal) and air conditioners (and how to recognize problems with them).
This module will teach you the differences between the different types of furnaces. For gas or propane furnaces: the gas meter, gas supply lines, the ignition system, the heat exchanger, the filters, the registers, the gravity furnace and more!

With all this information, you will become a furnace specialist, to the great pleasure of your customers!
