July 20th, 2017 Thank you for your interest in this Faira Certified home. We have coordinated the efforts of certified and licensed inspection and title professionals to create the Faira Transparency Reports for this home. The Faira Transparency Reports are a detailed portfolio of information that is prepared on behalf of buyers in preparation for making an informed offer on the property.
You may view more detailed information for this home and can make an offer at
http://www.faira.com/listings/11363 All of the information in the Faira Transparency Reports was gathered and compiled without any bias or influence from the seller(s). In fact, these reports are materially identical had you as the buyer(s) ordered the same professionals to perform the evaluations on the same date. Nevertheless, Faira takes no obligation of the reports being complete or accurate. The buyers are recommended to conduct their own due-diligence to their satisfaction. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like more information. We’re happy you’ve chosen a Faira Certified home and look forward to the opportunity of working with you! The Faira Team

Properties being inspected do not "Pass" or "Fail.” - The following report is based on an inspectionof the visible portion of the structure; inspection may be limited by vegetation and possessions. Depending upon the age of the property, some items like GFCI outlets may not be installed; thisreport will focus on safety and function, not current code. This report identifies specific non-code,non-cosmetic concerns that the inspector feels may need further investigation or repair. For your safety and liability purposes, we recommend that licensed contractors evaluate and repairany critical concerns and defects. Note that this report is a snapshot in time.

4. FiltersLocation: Located inside heater cabinet.Observations:• The furnace filter is dirty. Filters clean the air before it passes through the blower and heatexchanger. This helps to keep these furnace components working efficiently. Dirty Filters lessen lifespan of the Heating/AC equipment. It is recommended to change the filter and then regularinspection & maintenance is advised.

GlossaryGlossary
Term DefinitionExpansion Tank An expansion tank or expansion vessel is a small tank used to
protect closed (not open to atmospheric pressure) water heatingsystems and domestic hot water systems from excessivepressure. The tank is partially filled with air, whosecompressibility cushions shock caused by water hammer andabsorbs excess water pressure caused by thermal expansion.
GFCI A special device that is intended for the protection of personnelby de-energizing a circuit, capable of opening the circuit wheneven a small amount of current is flowing through the groundingsystem.
TPR Valve The thermostat in a water heater shuts off the heating sourcewhen the set temperature is reached. If the thermostat fails, thewater heater could have a continuous rise in temperature andpressure (from expansion of the water). The temperature andpressure could continue to rise until the pressure exceeds thepressure capacity of the tank (300 psi). If this should happen, thesuper-heated water would boil and expand with explosive force,and the tank would burst. The super-heated water turns to steamand turns the water heater into an unguided missile. To preventthese catastrophic failures, water heaters are required to beprotected for both excess temperature and pressure. Usually, themeans of protection is a combination temperature- and pressure-relief valve (variously abbreviated as T&P, TPV, TPR, etc.). Mostof these devices are set to operate at a water temperature above200° F and/or a pressure above 150 psi. Do not attempt to testthe TPR valve yourself! Most water heating systems should beserviced once a year as a part of an annual preventivemaintenance inspection by a professional heating and coolingcontractor.
