I would like to recommend Brandon for his excellent job during the inspection. He is very professional, thorough and is an expert in his field. I enjoyed his partnership during inspection, the knowledge he shared of the risks of certain issues was incredible. I am very glad that he inspected the house for us and wishing him more success in future.
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 is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home! The staff at API was great to work with!
Atlanta property inspections gave me a very competitor quote and stuck to it for final pricing. They were able to get someone out to do the inspection so quickly. Frank and James were very thorough and helpful during the process they encouraged me to look at what they found, the good and bad, so I knew exactly what I am buying. I couldn't have asked for a better inspection experience!
Have used Atlanta Property Inspections several times for my buyers. Their team is always very thorough and educational for the new home owners. Much information is shared about past/current codes, potential issues and how to have the issues repaired. I will continue to use Atlanta Property Inspectors for future inspections, and my clients have been very happy with their services as well!
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!
We are relocating from out of state and we were in need of an inspection with a very tight turn around. We received incredibly thorough reporting and an availability to answer questions quickly. Cary Cooper’s professional and expert insight saved us from a potential health hazard. I would very much recommend Atlanta Property Inspection for any of your inspection needs!
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!
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
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!

If you are in the process of deciding on getting a new AC unit and are wondering if you're going to need to buy a dehumidifier even after you get an AC unit, you're in the right place because today, we're going to discuss the dehumidifying abilities of the AC units and whether they are sufficient.
To start with answering the question, it's true that air conditioners do have some level of dehumidifying capabilities. While a central air conditioning system is intended to eliminate humidity, its capabilities are limited. Installing a dehumidifier could be a good idea if your living area has high humidity levels. On the other hand, if you are already living in an area with a dry and hot environment, then you may only need AC units to do the job for you; while it will be sufficient to dehumidify the environment of dry areas, it will also provide coolness. On the other hand, if you are in a seaside city, getting a dehumidifier is an option to consider.
However, there may be instances where you require the cooperation of both of these units. You may be wondering but why? An air conditioner's primary purpose is not to dehumidify the air, and it will definitely be insufficient in extremely humid places. And dehumidifiers don't create the coolness you desperately seek out, especially in the summer months. Don't think of both of these units as additional costs; know that a dehumidifier also helps save energy costs and improve the efficiency of your air conditioner.
Benefits of an air conditioner include:
The speed and efficiency with which your air conditioner can lower a room's temperature is impressive. This is its most known feature and is a true blessing for people who live in areas with hot environments, especially during the summer.
As was already mentioned, one of the things an air conditioner does is help your home's air become less humid. In addition to helping people whose upper respiratory issues are aggravated by the humidity, this can lower the room's humidity levels as well as prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
Most of the air conditioners have a fan setting if you want to circulate cool air in your room without having to buy an additional fan.
It might be difficult to decide which appliance to choose when faced with an option between the two. A dehumidifier alongside an AC unit might be the best for you, depending on your specific needs. Your budget, location of residence, style of home, and personal tastes all play a major role in the appliance you choose. If you want the professional opinion of a home inspector in this matter, know that the professionals of Atlanta Property Inspection are ready to help you with any issue related to your home.
