Four-Point Inspections

The roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC report many Florida insurers require before writing or renewing a policy on an older home.

What Florida Insurers Want to See

A four-point inspection is a focused review of four major systems: the roof, electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning. Many Florida insurance companies require one for older homes before they'll write or renew a policy.

The report documents the age, type, and condition of each system with photos, in the format insurers expect. It's not a full home inspection, so buyers should still get a pre-purchase inspection.

The Four Systems

Each system is documented for age, type, and condition.

🏡

Roof

Covering type, age, condition, and visible damage.

⚡

Electrical

Panel, wiring type, and visible hazards.

🚰

Plumbing

Supply and drain materials, fixtures, and water heater.

❄️

HVAC

System type, age, and operating condition.

Why Insurers Ask for Them

These four systems account for many homeowners insurance claims. Insurers look closely at items like aging roofs, certain older electrical panels and wiring types, older plumbing materials, and worn-out HVAC equipment.

Requirements vary by insurer, so ask your agent exactly what's needed. If something is flagged, the report helps you plan repairs and get coverage in place, often in time for closing.
