Hello,my name is Yuri Olhovsky. 
I am a Certified  Home  Inspector, who personally conducts all Home Inspections 4U. I earned my Home Inspection Certificate with Honours from Humber College in Toronto, ON.  I am a member in good standing of the Association of Professional Home and Property Inspectors of Canada (PHPIC) and International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) - the largest home inspection association in the world.

      I am a National Certificate Holder NCH00372. This professional designation is awarded by the National Home Inspection Certification Council and is considered a gold standard for the home inspectors across Canada. To become National Certificate Holder a home inspector should have fundamental knowledge in building science and pass rigorous field test inspection with peer review.

      I took a Defect Recognition and Reporting Course, as prescribed by the Ontario Association of Home Inspectors, as well as Building Code training courses provided by the Ministry of Housing and the Ontario Building Officials Association.

      As a Professional Home Inspector I constantly upgrade my knowledge by taking various courses in building science. I was trained in construction of R-2000 homes at Builder Workshop delivered by Ontario Home Builders' Association and Energy Star homes delivered by EnerQuality Corporation.

      Due to an increased popularity and growing interest to Renewable Energy I took a course on the Solar Domestic Hot Water design, maintenance and installation delivered by Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA).

      I have completed a course of studies in residential Ventilation, Air Systems Design, Heat  Loss and Heat Gain Calculations, Combo Systems and Commissioning at Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI). After successfully passing final exam with the highest grade "A", I was awarded a designation of RASDT - Residential Air Systems Design Technician # 7055.

     I am a member of the Royal le Page Relocation Directory of participating Home Inspectors and provide services for the Federal Government's Integrated Relocation Program (IRP).

    HOME INSPECTIONS 4U is a proud member of Better Business Bureau since October 2006.

     I am a Certified Energy Advisor with Natural Resources Canada and provide home owners with a valuable advice on energy efficiency under ECO Energy Retrofits for Houses Federal Government program.

     I am a Certified ENERGY STAR evaluator and GREEN HOUSE consultant for new home builders to ensure that new houses are built to the highest standards in energy efficiency.  I received training from Sustainable Buildings Canada in use of the EE4 Energy Simulation software for mid-rise and multi-units commercial buildings to be constructed to the top requirements of the Leadership in Energy Efficiency and Design (LEED) in Canada.

     I am a Registered Expert with All Experts directory, where I answer questions and give expert advice on various concerns regarding energy efficiency. 

     I am a Certified Indoor Air Quality Consultant # IAC2-00-3278 and a member of the International Association of Certified Indoor Air Consultants. I received an extensive training from CMHC and PRO-Lab on mold recognition, testing and investigation.    

     I realize that purchasing Real Estate is one of the greatest and most expensive investments.  I recognize the anxiety and worries of the potential buyer.  That is why I am fully committed to provide you with the best service possible to increase your knowledge about the pluses and minuses of your future residence. 

Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult. Unlike most professionals, you probably will not get to meet me until after you hire me. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and yes, different pricing. One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work, a lot of work. Ultimately a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s own effort. If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I will give you my very best effort. This I promise you.
