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!
Enhancing Home Safety with the RecallChek Program
When you invest in a professional property evaluation, your focus is often on the foundation, roof, and structural integrity of the building. However, the safety of your home is also heavily dependent on the mechanical systems and built-in appliances you use every day. Since 1974, federal law has protected American consumers from dangerous products, but the burden of discovering these recalls often falls on the homeowner. This is why HomeMD is proud to offer the RecallChek Program as a vital component of our comprehensive inspection services.
During your on-site inspection, our certified team carefully records the model and serial numbers of all major built-in appliances, including your HVAC system, water heater, dishwasher, and microwave. This data is then securely submitted to the RecallChek Program headquarters. Their sophisticated database—containing over 210 million recorded recalls—uses a specialized Model Number Algorithm to match your specific appliances against known safety issues. Unlike a standard internet search, which can be time-consuming and often inaccurate, this system provides a fail-safe way to identify potential fire hazards and mechanical flaws.
The true value of the RecallChek Program lies in the detailed, easy-to-read report you receive within 48 hours of your inspection. If a recall is identified, the report provides the exact nature of the defect and clear instructions on how to receive a free repair or replacement from the manufacturer. By identifying these “ticking time bombs” early, you can avoid the high costs of mechanical failure and, more importantly, protect your family from preventable accidents.
Furthermore, the RecallChek Program offers a lifetime of protection. Once your appliances are in the system, they are monitored continuously. If a manufacturer issues a new recall years after your initial home inspection, you will be notified immediately via a monthly update. At HomeMD, we believe that our responsibility to your safety doesn’t end when the inspection report is delivered. By integrating the RecallChek Program into our service offerings, we provide our Louisville clients with ongoing peace of mind and a safer environment for years to come.
