Recalled Appliances

recalled appliances

Massachusetts Home Inspections does not research product recalls or notices of any kind. My home inspection will not include the identification of, or research for, appliances and any other items installed in your prospective home that may have been be recalled or has a consumer safety alert issued on it. Any comments made in your report regarding well known recalls or notices are simply provided as a courtesy to you (my client) only.

If you are interested in receiving information regarding recalled household appliances, I highly recommend visiting the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission web site at http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls. Consumer alerts and product recalls are added to this website almost daily.

CPSC web site is very easy to use. It has an on-line subscription service that enables you to receive instant email notifications of any recalls or product safety concerns. There are many subscription choices, including subscribing to recalls involving only selected products, e.g., infant/child products, sports and recreation products, outdoor products, household products, and specialty products. There are literally thousands of recalls and safety concerns that have been released since the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission began operating in 1973, and every one of them are listed. Not all recalls and safety concerns make the local headlines of your local newspaper or the news, so it's best to be subscribed to the USPSC.

Massachusetts Home Inspections recommends that you subscribe to all U.S. CPSC press releases, including recalls. This will alert you to all recalls and safety concerns of products that are on the market today.

Here is what my clients have to say about my home inspection services:

Press F5 (on your keyboard) for additional testimonials

Buying a home is arguably the most important, exciting and nerve-wracking purchase a person will ever make. This is the reason you need a great home inspector, and Dave Valley is just that. He is empathetic – he understands and appreciates the various emotions a potential home-buyer goes through. Most importantly, Dave provides you with objective information so you can make the most informed decision possible.

It was a pleasure working with Dave – he contains all the qualities that make a great home inspector – he is the consummate professional, prompt, courteous, meticulous in his detail and honest. Dave was reasonably priced – in fact Dave charged me the same amount I spent 10 years earlier on a smaller house and provided a far better work product.

Prompt

I arrived at the house at the agreed upon time on a cold and nasty day, and found Dave outside inspecting the exterior of the home. He was already a half hour into his inspection – I think this exemplifies and is symbolic of the fact that Dave is respectful of his client’s time.

Courteous

Dave was pleasant to deal with, personable and thoughtful not only to his client but also to the buyer’s real estate agent.

Detail-oriented

Dave spent almost four hours in his investigation of a 2,000 square foot house. He answered all my questions and reviewed every observation he had with me. David provided a detailed report, and encouraged me to call and email him to discuss the report and to ask questions.

Conclusion

The highest compliment I can give Dave is to say that I would use him again and will encourage and recommend him to others.
