Home Inspector Pro 4.5 With Home Energy Scores released!

Home Inspector Pro 4.5.4 is now out! We are the first software company in the industry to allow inspectors to perform Department of Energy Home Energy Scores! This is HUUUGE! The FHA will give all buyers 2% more $$ if the home has a 6 or above. If it has less than a 6 they can roll the costs of improvement into the loan. MLS databases around the country are now adding Home Energy Score fields into their listings which means real estate sites like Realtor.com will start showing this soon as well.

To download HIP 4.5.4 log into our site (http://www.HomeInspectorPro.com) and click on Home Inspector Pro Downloads on the left.

Other new updates & fixes in 4.5.4.

4.5

New Feature: Home Energy Score integration with partnership from Department of Energy!!!

New Feature: Advanced colors data is sent to mobile so HIP Mobile can display advanced colors (in edit mode). The HIP Mobile version that goes with this will be released shortly.

New Feature: Incomplete items list! Go to Report Settings->Incomplete Items to see tabs that haven't had a rating checked (if using ratings) or visited if not. Double click a tab to change it's status if needed.

New Feature: The coloring state of tabs/menus will save with the inspection and transfer from mobile.

Bug Fix: Advanced colors can be applied to newly added comments. Had to add comment, then edit previously.

Bug Fix: Prevent videos from freezing when clicking preview repeatedly.

Bug Fix: Temp directories properly deleted when closing HIP after using the merge feature.

Bug Fix: Videos from one inspection were being stored in the next if HIP wasn't closed out in between opening two different inspection files.

Bug Fix: Video preview wasn't always playing on a Mac.

Bug Fix: RecallChek serial and model data wasn't sending properly if there was a leading space in the data being submitted.

Great ! Thanks!

You may already do this, but can I request that when their is an update that a video be done showing what the updates are and where to find them in HIP?

A lot of these are straight forward, but some are not and/or lead me to further questions such as "How do I utilize the home energy score?" and "how are advanced colors in edit mode displayed?" and "where is the checkmark added to the menu?", etc.

Believe you need to go thru the Nachi (home energy score) class for it.

With this new update for the Mac/PC, is there a new update for the iPhones as well?

Ignore my previous comment. I skipped over the line where you talk about the mobile version.
