This was our first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections, Frank Cooper was the lead inspector and he was inspecting a new construction one bedroom plus den in Alpharetta for a buyer client of ours. The inspection report was both detailed and comprehensive. We have tried out a few premium home inspection companies over the past year, looking for a good additional inspection resource, and based on our experience with Frank Cooper, I think we have found it.
I called several companies for quotes, and I felt that Atlanta Property Inspections was the most welcoming! Thereafter, I had a wonderful experience at the inspection. My inspector was thorough, kind, and willing to explain things and answer my questions on site. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I am glad I did not skip the inspection for this 950 square foot condo, and the review has been very helpful, during my due diligence period in evaluating this potential home.
WOW! I can't even make this story up. In this very crazy market (June 2021) it seemingly takes 2 week closing (sometimes with *0* days due diligence!) to purchase a home. Anyway, Frank came recommended by another very reputable inspector, and I was fortunate he came!! The home we were looking at for my mother was a 1975 build and within 1 hour of the inspector being there a FIRE from an electrical panel broke out! Frank contained the fire, and was SO calm, had his team address the matter, was in touch with the agent and homeowner. He said in over 20+ years of him inspecting homes nothing like this had ever happened. Anyway the inspection was VERY thorough and Frank handled all matters very professionally. We will be working with Frank and his team on any home inspections in the future. I highly recommend!
Jeremy was the best to work with! He was on time, very thorough in his explanations of his findings, and took time with my clients to make sure he answered all of their questions. He was detailed, and provided follow up when we needed additional questions answered. He went above and beyond! Best, quality, customer service I’ve seen in a long time! I’ll recommend him and Atlanta Property Inspections every time!
I have hired this company doing inspection on the property that I was planning to purchase in Georgia. I’ve live in California when this was done. Frank Cooper and his team did a great job of inspection and giving me with every details. I really appreciate the advice and the report. Thank you
This was my first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections. Alex Sozonov was my inspector. Very oriented details and willing to explained all questions with professional knowledge. Report came into my email box late night. Clearly, it has been covered all details. Plus, show up on time.
Dustin was very knowledgeable and friendly and made my client feel confident in his explanations. He was quick to point out the positives of the home he was inspecting. His report was delivered within 18 hours of the inspection and had plenty of photos and very easy explanations in laymen's terms. I highly recommend Atlanta Property Inspections.
The inspector was really thorough and was patient in explaining to me what he was observing. He showed me where the shutoff valve was for the water and gave recommendations on various things. The report that was provided made sense and pictures were taken of some things that were found. The inspector was also very personable which put me at ease about asking questions. Thank you, Alex and Atlanta Property Inspections!
The inspector Frank came to our house to inspect the deck and provide a list of safety problems. While he was there we asked him to take a look at some termite damage in the attic. When he went to the attic he spotted problems with a squirrel infestation requiring immediate action to correct for chewed wiring and unsanitary conditions. We were unaware of this problem. Frank provided a comprehensive inspection report in PDF format including multiple photos showing deck post deterioration, sagging joists and yes even a picture of the live squirrel in the attic. Frank is totally professional, knows his area of expertise very well and offers sound recommendations on how to correct problems without spending money for unnecessary improvements. For example he told us the ledger board was in good shape and did not have to be replaced, only secured to the house wall with additional bolts. The small amount we paid for the inspection was well spent because the inspection will end up saving us money in the long run.
Dustin was absolutely amazing. He did such a thorough job and was super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me as a first-time homeowner. Highly recommend this company! Very timely and professional throughout the entire process as well!

Did you know that almost half of the energy used in your home belongs to heating and cooling? This means that with the correct steps, it is actually easy to make your heating and cooling system more efficient, and this way, saving money. So, how can you exactly do this? In this article, we will go over the steps you should take to make your heating and cooling system more efficient.
Check your filter at least once a month, especially if the usage of the HVAC system that month was higher than normal, and replace the filter if it appears to be unclean. Even if they seem to be clean, remember that the filters should be changed at least every three months because when the filters are dirty and full, the air will not be able to move freely, and to compensate for this, the system will need to work more, wasting energy. On the other hand, a clean filter will help keep dust and grime out of the system, providing both increased circulation and reducing the need for costly repairs.
If various places inside your home aren’t insulated and sealed correctly, no matter how hard you try to heat or cool the place, it won’t be effective, and you will be just wasting energy. Most of the time, air leaks occur and can be detected, especially around windows and doors; however, they can also occur in attics or basements. So, it’s a good idea to seal all of these potential places for air leaks. Another problem is inadequate housing insulation, which also lets the hot or cold air escape, causing your HVAC unit to work overtime.
It’s not always necessary for the HVAC system to operate at full capacity at all times. So, even though it seems like a very easy thing to do, turning it down a few degrees can make a significant difference in reducing your energy consumption.
If you’re looking for new ways to make your system more energy efficient, you can opt for programmable thermostats. These can be programmed to alter the temperature depending on the time of day depending on your preferences, and this way, you can prefer to increase or decrease the temperature from your phone or tablet whenever you’re not home or decide to go on a vacation. This way, you can reduce the amount of money you spend on energy bills.
Of course, like other systems in your house, it would be better for reliable home inspectors to take a look at your HVAC system regularly to check its condition. Depending on the recommendations home inspectors give you, you can plan out what the future holds for your HVAC system. If you’re looking for a reliable home inspection firm in Atlanta, this is where your search ends. At Atlanta Property Inspections, our inspectors provide a wide range of services. Whether you are buying a new house, selling your current house, or simply want to check if everything is alright with your home, you can always contact us.
