Alot of people believe they are. My daughter purchased a home recently. The home inspector stated in his report that there were only minor issued, mostly cosmetic. 1 week after the purchaes I told my daughter she needed to have a heating & air company come out and service the ehater since winter will be comming. Well she does have one of the recalled heaters. Because the recall was in 2001 and the company went bankrupt in 2003, there is no longer any recourse. So her only choice was to replace the unit. I would not let her take the chance that this unit could catch fire, not with her or my grandson in that home. I thought the home inspection company did a lousy job. someone does need to be inspecting the inspectors and make them accountable when they make a mistake. By the way her house was also had a mice infectation at some point because there was mice dropping all over the attic. Oh and the other thing the inspector fail to see was the little piled of saw dust along a 30 foot wall of the house, you guest it termits. Some one needs to moniter these people and make them accountable. The real estate industry has become way to greedy and now with the down fall we are finally seeing how greedy these people are.
