Home Inspectors! Arrrrgh!!

Potential buyers for our townhouse hired a home inspector to go through it this week, and he came back with a long list of nitpicky things, and a couple of surprises. One was "the new HVAC (heat/a/c unit) isn't working correctly and MUST be checked by a licensed technician."

WELL... after driving to the townhouse late yesterday (takes 1 hour round trip), and 2 techs spent an hour testing the inside and outside units and thermostadt, they said the unit was in "Perfect working condition" and that the home inspector obviously didn't know what he was talking about.

SO...to the inconvenience and cost of myself and the HVAC company and hours lost in the day, we checked out a false claim. There is nothing more frustrating than wasting time. Our realtor said "anyone can grab a flashlight and say they're a home inspector." Obviously, this guy was one of those. Lesson Learned - Stupid people CAN waste your time and money. :(
