I like to be able to offer my client the information that they need in order for the problem to be corrected properly. Even with all my experience in this profession, I would not have a clue on who to recommend.
Is their one source that list folks with qualifications like this?
Great question, Scott. Both
BPI - Building Performance Institute Inc. and
National Comfort Institute Inc. : Performance-Based Contracting offer links to search for trained local individuals. I'm sure there are other organizations as well. Combustion safety is one area where home inspectors might benefit from additional training. There is a lot of information on the web, and several organizations that conduct trainings. Watch for events in your part of the country put on by
ACI. Advancing Home Performance. - Home. Head for Google and see what's out there.
A certain number die every year from CO poisoning. No inspector wants their customer to fall victim to that hazard.
