RecallChek is performed at no charge with every scheduled home inspection

If you would like to conduct your own RecallChek on your home’s appliances, simply click the RecallChek button to get started.

How It Works

During your Home Inspection, we will write down the make and model numbers of your built-in appliances, including the refrigerator, stove, water heater, and HVAC system. You can also purchase a RecallChek without a home inspection, in which case you would provide the make and model information to us. Your information will be submitted to RecallChek, where the model numbers will be checked against the information in their databases. Click To Do It Yourself

The report is hand-checked for accuracy to eliminate wrong numbers from work plates and ID cards.

The report is emailed directly to you within 48 hours. In the event of a potential recall, the report will specify the nature of the recall, where the product was sold, how to remedy the defect, and how to get the item repaired or replaced—in most cases, absolutely free.

 

Peace of Mind

You could spend hours going through the online databases of various public safety departments, or contact each manufacturer directly to find out if your particular appliance has been recalled. But that could take hours. Instead, we do this for you!

Why Check Appliances for Recalls?

Recalled products stay in homes for years because owners never hear about the recall. Water heaters, furnaces, refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers and other appliances can carry defects that cause fires, leaks or carbon monoxide hazards. RecallChek compares your appliances against recall databases so you do not have to search them yourself.

What Is Checked

  • Water heaters and furnaces or other HVAC equipment
  • Refrigerators, freezers, ranges, ovens and cooktops
  • Dishwashers, washers and dryers
  • Other built-in appliances whose make and model are visible

How the Process Works

  • During your inspection we record the make and model of the appliances in the home.
  • Those details are submitted to RecallChek and checked against their recall data.
  • The report is reviewed by hand to catch misread model numbers.
  • You receive the results by email, usually within 48 hours, with instructions for any recall found.

If a Recall Is Found

The report describes the recall and what the manufacturer offers, which is often a free repair or replacement. We recommend keeping the report with your home records, and sellers can use it to show that safety items were checked.
