Walk the home once, and keep what you saw.
An observational walkthrough record, not a safety certification. This checklist captures what you saw, category by category, as you walk the home: nothing here tests a system, certifies an installation, or replaces the inspection your program already requires.
The checklist reflects the publicly described scope of weatherization health-and-safety practice at the category level: combustion, moisture, electrical, ventilation, and general conditions. It does not encode any one program's pass or fail thresholds. If you record a measured value against a concern, your program's own testing procedures govern what that number means and what to do about it, not this tool.

Signals
This checklist reflects the publicly described, category-level scope of weatherization health-and-safety practice: combustion, moisture, electrical, ventilation, and general conditions. Every item is an observational judgment, not a measurement. Any measured value entered here is free text, and the program's own testing procedures govern it. This documents a walkthrough. It does not certify safety.
20 of 20 items were not inspected.
No concerns were judged in the combustion, moisture, or electrical categories. This walkthrough does not indicate a deferral.
Every response matched a checklist item, with no duplicates.

Why the walkthrough matters
What gets written down is what survives the visit.
None of this replaces your program's own inspection or testing procedures. It is a place to put what you noticed, in the moment, so it is still there once the visit is over.
Findings lost between visit and decision
A soft spot near a flue, a hint of mold along a sill plate, a panel that needs a second look: if it only lives in someone's memory, it usually does not survive the trip back to the office. Recording it against a plain checklist, on the spot, is what keeps it in front of whoever decides what happens next.
Deferrals without a paper trail
A program that defers a home on a hunch, without writing down what was seen, has nothing to point to later: not for the household, not for a funder asking why a case is still open, and not for the next visit to this same address. A walkthrough record turns "we noticed something" into something a program can act on.
The handoff to the deferral queue
A concern noted here does not resolve itself. Once a walkthrough turns up something serious enough to hold the work, that case needs to move into your program's deferral tracking, not stay buried in one technician's printed copy. This tool flags when that handoff should happen; the deferral check is where the case actually gets tracked.
A concern recorded here is a prompt to look closer, not a finding of fact. Use it alongside your program's own testing procedures and, where it matters, a licensed professional's judgment.
