RESIDENTIAL SERVICE AREA

Recall Chek logo
How It Works

✓ Our home inspector records the model numbers of your built-in home appliances and HVAC systems.

✓ The Model Number Algorithm (MNA) matches your appliances against the RecallChek database of recalled items.

✓ RecallChek issues a report, separate from the home inspection report. This report is emailed directly to you.

✓ This service is intended to provide homeowners with valuable information on how to receive FREE repairs from manufacturers in the event a recalled appliance is found. This service is not meant to be used in the inspection response process.  

WE ARE COMMITTED TO RAISING THE STANDARDS OF YOUR HOME INSPECTION

RecallChek is the first service for consumer recalls in the United States and has compiled over 205 million recalls from public records to create a fail-safe system to check for dangerous flaws with home appliances. 

If a manufacturer designs a dangerous product, they must recall it and fix it free of charge! RecallChek will provide the information to resolve any potential recall issues promptly.
