I will give you my two cents on home inspectors. I would hire a plumber to inspect plumbing, an electrician to inspect electrical, HVAC, to inspect HVAC, and structural, foundation to inspect those areas, etc.

I wouldn't trust a home inspector ever again to do the entire home.

It is worth getting the experts for their assigned discipline of work. They will catch things not in code and other issues. Others may disagree, but the extra money is worth the issues of something missed.

this right here - I did not, and now im 7 grand in debt on sewer issues, about to be 12k more in on sewer line replacement, and have electrical issues as well that i regret not getting a dedicated inspector on.

not new construction on my side, but definitely could have saved a LOT of money headache if i had.

So I was interested in an electrical and a plumbing, but this is also brand new construction with a very reputable local builder.

If it were older home I would do all of them, but I'm a bit on the fence right now.
