Professional major appliances inspection across the Bay Area

A water heater or major appliance failing without warning is one of the more expensive surprises a home can throw at you. NorTech connects you with background-checked, vetted local providers who spot-check your water heater and major kitchen and laundry appliances and document condition with photos, at a flat rate you approve before booking. This is an inspection, not a repair — findings are documented so you can decide what to address next, on your own timeline.

What a NorTech major appliances inspection covers

Your matched provider checks water heater condition, spot-checks kitchen appliances (fridge, range, dishwasher), spot-checks washer and dryer, and tests garbage disposal function. Every item is rated Good, Fair, Poor, or N/A with a photo attached to anything flagged — the same report format used across every NorTech home inspection.

When to book major appliances inspection

Your water heater is original to the home or older than 8-10 years and has never been checked.
You're buying a home and want a focused report on major appliance condition.
You're a landlord preparing a rental and want a documented appliance baseline before a new tenant moves in.
An appliance has started making a new noise or running differently and you want an early read on it.
It's simply been a year since anyone looked, and you'd rather catch a small issue before it becomes a flood or a fire risk.
30-Day Warranty
Backed by your provider’s warranty. If covered work fails, your provider makes it right — free.
