Pre Purchase Fireplace Inspection

If you’re buying a home with a fireplace,
don’t get burned

Why is a Pre-Purchase Fireplace Inspection Important?

Peace of Mind

A more thorough, comprehensive inspection, cleaning & service provides reassurance that the gas fireplace is functioning properly, easing the buyer's concerns about potential hazards. We also test for carbon monoxide and combustible gas leaks

Prevent Costly Repairs

Comprehensive inspections often uncover hidden issues or potential problems such as the unplanned replacement of your gas fireplace that may not be apparent in a standard inspection, potentially saving the buyer from expensive repairs down the line.

Negotiation Leverage

A detailed inspection report can provide leverage for negotiations with the seller. If significant issues are found, the buyer may be able to negotiate a lower purchase price, request repairs or replacement before finalizing the sale.

Legal Compliance

Some jurisdictions and codes require specific inspections for gas appliances as part of the home buying process. A comprehensive inspection can ensure compliance with local regulations, avoiding legal issues in the future

Insurance

Insurance agencies typically have concerns regarding free standing woodburning stoves. Whenever someone has a free-standing woodburning stove a lengthy questionnaire or an inspection of the stove is required or could be the perfect time to consider replacing it with a more efficient and clean burning gas fireplace installation.

Long-Term Investment

For buyers planning to stay in the home for the long term, investing in a comprehensive inspection provides confidence that the gas fireplace has been inspected by a professional with industry knowledge and experience.
