Navy Veteran. HVAC Expert. Your Inspector.
I'm Gerald Batchelor, and I've spent my career protecting people.
20+ years in the Navy taught me one thing: attention to detail saves lives. Now I use that same discipline to protect Jackson homebuyers from costly surprises.
I'm not just a home inspector—I'm a licensed HVAC technician. That means when I inspect your heating and cooling system, I'm not just checking if it turns on. I'm checking refrigerant levels, ductwork integrity, airflow, and efficiency. Most inspectors can't do that because they're not licensed HVAC pros. I am.
I inspect every home like it's my own family buying it. No shortcuts. No teams rushing through properties. Just thorough, methodical assessments backed by technology most inspectors don't use.
You're not getting a checklist inspector.
You're getting someone who knows what they're looking at.
WHY CHOOSE BHI?
DETAILED REPORTS
Digital Spectora reports delivered fast with high-resolution photos, clear descriptions, and prioritized findings. You'll know exactly what's wrong, why it matters, and what it costs to fix. Mobile-friendly format means you can review on your phone, tablet, or computer.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Thermal imaging detects hidden moisture, electrical hotspots, and insulation gaps. Drone roof inspections provide safe, detailed assessments without risky ladder work. Remote crawl space cameras inspect areas other inspectors skip. HVAC diagnostics from a licensed technician—not just a visual check.
PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY
I personally inspect every home—crawl space to roofline. No teams rushing through properties. No checklist inspectors who've never held a wrench. Just me, giving you the facts to make confident decisions. When you call, you talk to me. When you have questions, I answer them.
JACKSON, TN LOCAL EXPERTISE
I know West Tennessee homes—foundation issues from clay soil, HVAC challenges from humid summers, crawl space problems from poor drainage. Local knowledge combined with 20 years of military discipline means inspections that catch what others miss. Serving Jackson, Denmark, Nashville, and surrounding areas.
YOUR PROTECTION MATTERS
I'm licensed, bonded, and insured—with general liability and Errors & Omissions (E&O) coverage for your peace of mind.
As a licensed HVAC technician and InterNACHI-certified inspector, I bring expertise most inspectors don't have. I've inspected hundreds of homes in Jackson and West Tennessee, catching foundation issues worth $50,000, electrical panels that were fire hazards, and water damage that would've cost tens of thousands to remediate.
Your investment deserves more than a quick walkthrough. You deserve someone who knows what they're looking at.

Every Home is Different
CUSTOMIZED INSPECTIONS
Each home is different, and so are our inspection strategies. I take the time to understand the unique aspects of your property, providing customized inspection services that ensure comprehensive assessments and peace of mind.
Whether you're buying a 100-year-old Victorian in Jackson or a brand-new build in Denmark, I adjust my approach to fit the property—not force the property into a generic checklist.
DEDICATED SERVICE
Enjoy dedicated service and individualized attention from start to finish. I'm with you every step of the way, delivering expert insights and support whenever you need it—before, during, and after the inspection.
Got questions three weeks after your inspection? Call me. That's what dedicated service means.
TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION
I believe in clear, straightforward communication throughout the inspection process. From initial inquiry to the final report, I maintain open dialogue to build trust and ensure you're well-informed every step of the way.
No jargon. No sugarcoating. Just honest answers about what I found and what it means for your investment.

I recommend Batch Home Inspections. First, he is professional and will do what you ask of him to do and he makes sure to explain what he sees while doing the work. If anybody is like me and don't do crawl spaces, he's your guy. If he physically has to go under your house, he will, if needed. Or he can send his equipment under your house and you can see what's going on in real-time. You can't go wrong with Batch Home Inspections.

Gerald was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. I feel much better buying a new home knowing that Gerald was my inspector. I will recommend him to anyone looking for an inspection.
