Appliances

Heimer Engineering's licensed Professional Engineers check appliances for general condition, correct installation, and apparent function.  You are also advised of possible problems repairing old appliances.

Most homes have a wide variety of appliances including a range or stove, a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a conventional oven, a dishwasher, a clothes washer, a clothes dryer, a trash compactor, and possibly other appliances.  Since it is not possible to run every appliance through every cycle during a pre-purchase inspection, the Engineers are trained to look for indicators of problems.  You are provided with an expense analysis of needed repairs in the engineering report.

Most home owners depend on their appliances every day, so most appliances are at least partially functional.  The appliance hookup may be incorrect or even hazardous.  The Engineers often find houses that have had an electric self-cleaning oven, an electric dryer, or a room air-conditioner installed after the house was constructed.  The original electrical service may have been sufficient when the house was built.  The added loads have created a hazardous condition.  An incorrect appliance gas hookup can be extremely hazardous.
