During an inspection, you notice a ceiling fan does not work when the switch is turned on. Which of the following actions should you take?
  1. Determine the cause of the problem.
  2. Recommend an electrician who can repair the problem.
  3. Make the repair yourself and bill the client.
  4. Note the problem in the inspection report.
Explanation
Answer: D - When you notice a ceiling fan does not work when the switch is turned on during an inspection, you should note the problem in the inspection report. Home inspectors are not required to determine the cause of technical problems. Under no circumstances should a home inspector recommend a specific repair technician to clients. Making any type of repair during an inspection is not only a violation of standard practices but illegal, because the homeowner has not authorized such repairs.
