Buying in Ballantrae in October — What To Watch For
If you're buying in Ballantrae this October, here's what Aamir will be checking:
Heating system pre-winter check
Inspector checks: Furnace startup test, filter condition, ductwork inspection
First cold snap reveals heating failures — better to find them during inspection than on a -20C night
Window and door weatherproofing
Inspector checks: Thermal imaging of all windows and doors for air infiltration
Failed seals and worn weatherstripping waste 25-40% of heating energy and create condensation
Gutter and downspout condition
Inspector checks: Gutter pitch verification, joint inspection, downspout discharge check
Clogged or damaged gutters cause ice dams in winter and foundation erosion year-round
Chimney and fireplace safety
Inspector checks: Flue liner inspection, cap condition, mortar joint assessment
Cracked flue liners and missing caps are fire hazards — must be assessed before heating season
