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 National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI)

 - the largest home inspection association in the world.

I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering and have more than 25 years of experience in industrial construction. I commenced Home Inspections in 2001, progressing steadily from part-time to full-time and gradually expanding my company. In 2006 I achieved a designation of Certified Master Inspector (CMI) - the top professional designation in home inspection industry awarded by the Master Inspector Certification Board. 

     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.

     One of the most important aspects of healthy housing is to have an adequate ventilation. That is why I completed a Course of Studies in Residential Mechanical Ventilation Installation from Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI). After successfully passing final exam with the highest grade "A", I am now a Certified Ventilation Installer # 7055 with the privileges to install and balance Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV). 

     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 consultant for new home builders to ensure that new houses are built to the highest standards in energy efficiency.

     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.
