Major Appliances Inspection

Water heaters and big appliances tend to fail without warning and at a bad moment. This inspection looks at the water heater and the main kitchen and laundry appliances and reports on what is aging, with photos. NorTech connects you with vetted local providers; the price is flat and shown before you book.

Professional major appliances inspection across the Bay Area

A water heater that gives out on a Sunday or a washer hose that bursts while you are away is among the costlier surprises a home delivers. Background-checked providers spot-check the water heater, the kitchen appliances and the washer and dryer, then document each one with photos at a price you approve before booking. The visit is an assessment rather than a repair, so you can decide what to address next, and when.

What a NorTech major appliances inspection covers

The provider checks the condition of the water heater, spot-checks the refrigerator, range and dishwasher, looks over the washer and dryer, and runs the garbage disposal. Every entry in the report is graded Good, Fair, Poor or N/A, and anything flagged carries a photo.

When to book major appliances inspection

The water heater is original to the house or past the eight-to-ten-year mark, and nobody has had a professional look at it.

You are buying a home and want a report that concentrates on the condition of the appliances that come with it.

You are readying a rental and want an appliance-by-appliance record on file before the next tenant moves in.

A washer, dryer or dishwasher has started to make a new sound or behave differently, and you want an early opinion.

A year has gone by without anyone checking, and you would prefer to spot a failing hose or heater before it floods the floor or becomes a fire risk.

30-Day Warranty

Backed by your provider’s warranty. If covered work fails, your provider makes it right — free.

Frequently asked

Major Appliances Inspection — common questions

Tell the booking flow your ZIP code and home size and it shows the price. A same-day rush and a video recording of the walkthrough are add-ons.

No. The provider's work ends with a written report. If something needs repair, you decide whether and when to book that, as a separate visit.

No. It is a condition check and an operating test, not a repair service. Anything that looks wrong is written into your report so you know what to ask for next.

Yes. The report and photos are stored in the Documents area of your NorTech portal.

Yes. The accuracy guarantee (at least 30 days) covers the report: if something seems off or needs another look, your provider returns and puts it right at no additional charge.
