In this walkthrough, we’ll show you how to use the Fahrenheit/Celsius Conversion Calculator.
To get started, open your Forms tab and navigate to the Calculators and Chase Cover folder. Then select the Fahrenheit/Celsius Conversion Calculator from the list.
Begin by entering a Job Identifier to keep the record tied to the correct project.
Next, choose whether you need to convert to Fahrenheit or to Celsius.
Now, enter the temperature value you currently have — either in Fahrenheit or Celsius — and the calculator will instantly provide the converted value you’re looking for.
After that, use the location capture feature to log where the reading was taken.
You can also add any additional notes for context or reference.
Once all the fields are complete, tap Next, then hit Submit to save your entry.
That’s it — quick, accurate conversions right from the jobsite.
Start by opening your inspection form and navigating to the Technician & Company Information section.
Begin by entering your name and any credentials or certifications you hold.
Next, fill out your company details, including:
Company name, Address, Phone number, Website URL, Customer-facing email, and The email address where you’d like report submissions to be sent
You’ll also have the option to add your company logo. To do this, you’ll need a publicly accessible link to the image. If you don’t have one, feel free to email us your logo and we’ll generate a link for you.
Now, scroll down to the Disclaimers section. You can either write your own disclaimers or use the prewritten versions by following the link provided and copying them into the fields.
After that, review the prewritten Customer and Technician Acknowledgement notes. You can use the default text or edit it to better match your needs.
Once everything is filled out and reviewed, it’s time to approve your entries.
To save time on future reports, tap the three dots in the top right corner and select “Remember”. Then, check the boxes for all the fields you want the app to remember.
This will ensure you don’t have to re-enter this information every time you create a report.
Whether you’re just getting started or need a quick refresher, our latest video walks you step-by-step through using the InspectionFire report-writing app — built specifically for chimney professionals.
From entering customer details to submitting a polished PDF, we’ve streamlined the process to make your inspections faster, more consistent, and easier to complete in the field.
Welcome to InspectionFire. In this video, we’ll guide you through how to navigate and complete an inspection report using the InspectionFire app.
Step 1: Enter Customer Information Start by opening the form and filling out the customer’s details — including name, address, and any other relevant job information.
Step 2: Technician & Company Info Next, enter or verify your technician and company information.
If this is your first time using the app, be sure to complete all fields.
Want to add your company logo? You’ll need a publicly accessible link to the image. Don’t have one? Just send us your logo and we’ll provide a link for you.
You can also add disclaimers by copying ours from the provided link or pasting in your own custom version.
Once everything is filled out, tap the three dots in the top-right corner and select “Remember” on any fields you want saved for future reports.
Step 3: Appliance Information Now move to the Appliance section. Name the system and location, then enter all relevant inspection details.
Step 4: Photo Documentation In this section, start by naming each photo block.
Then, upload your photos and write a description. You can also use our built-in tools, including:
Pre-written notes and common deficiencies
Inspection checklists
You can use either — or both — to streamline your documentation process.
Step 5: Summary & Recommendations After you’ve added all your photo blocks, move on to the summary and recommendations section. Here’s your chance to clearly explain your findings and next steps for the customer.
Step 6: Signatures & Submission Capture the customer’s signature — or document why one wasn’t collected.
Review all entered information, add the technician’s signature, and submit the report.
Final Step: Viewing the Completed Report Reports can be completed offline at the job site. When you’re back in service, the app will sync and allow you to submit the report.
Once submitted, you can view the final PDF by going to the “Completed Reports” section in the app. Important: You’ll need a Wi-Fi or data connection to view the PDF.
A copy will also be emailed to you with a direct link to the final report for easy access and sharing
At InspectionFire, we’re always pushing to improve the tools chimney professionals rely on. That’s why we’re excited to announce our newest innovation: the IX5 Housing, purpose-built for the all-new Insta360 X5 camera.
The Insta360 X5 brings next-level resolution and low-light capability to 360° inspections — and the IX5 Housing is designed to protect that power in the real-world environments inspectors face daily.
X4 vs. X5: What’s the Difference?
If you’re already using the Insta360 X4, you might be wondering what makes the X5 different. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Feature
Insta360 X4
Insta360 X5
Video Resolution
8K at 30fps, 5.7K at 60fps, 4K at 100fps
8K at 30fps, 5.7K at 60fps, 4K at 120fps
Sensor
Dual 1/2-inch sensors
Dual 1/1.28-inch sensors
Processing
Single 5nm AI Chip
Triple AI Chip (2 imaging + 1 AI chip)
Low Light Performance
Good
Significantly improved
Image Clarity
Crisp
Ultra-sharp, especially in dark areas
Stitching Quality
Solid
More seamless and professional
In short: if you’re looking for cinematic-level detail and even better visibility in dark flues or dusty conditions, the X5 delivers.
Designed with Inspections in Mind
We’ve taken everything you loved about our past housings and made it even better for the X5. The IX5 is crafted to give your camera the protection it needs, without sacrificing usability. Whether you’re navigating tight flues or documenting conditions in low light, this housing is up for the challenge.
Why the IX5 Stands Out:
Built for the Insta360 X5 – snug fit, easy access
Heavy-duty exterior – handles rough conditions
Streamlined shape – perfect for tight spaces
Field-tested design – made for real chimney pros
Coming Soon to InspectionFire
If you’re ready to take full advantage of the Insta360 X5’s capabilities, the IX5 Housing will be a must-have addition to your inspection kit.
Stay tuned for the official release date — and get ready to level up your inspections.
Here is a brief list of updates between v2.30 to v2.92 which will start to roll out to accounts today. Please contact our office if do not see it show up in your account soon. Vanessa will also reach out via text or phone to let you know it is there.
PDF FORMATTING / OUTPUT
Line spacing for numerous fields in the PDF output updated to be consistent throughout the document
Additional spaces or page breaks showing up in the PDF output removed
Photo compression increased slightly to help keep submissions under 25 MB where large inspections are performed
Output changed to a link sent via email as opposed to the PDF itself. This is to help when large inspections exceed 25 MB as when size increases above that point the PDF may not generate as it cannot be emailed or received by most email providers. If larger the link still allows downloading and generation without issue.
PHOTO DOCUMENTATION SCREEN
The pre-written notes screen and the checklists screen were combined into one screen so you can use either pre-written notes, or checklists, or both, and mix them back and forth throughout your report as you go.
The pre-written notes selection boxes were disconnected from each other so that you can change or edit prior selected pre-written notes, or remove them, without affecting selections after that point.
There are up to 7 prewritten notes per photo block entry you can choose and 56 checklists to choose from.
Language in the pre-written note selections simplified for easier searching and viewing.
IN DEVELOPMENT FOR RELEASE SOON
Masonry measurements pull sheet and auto check function on dimensions and sizing. This is mostly complete, just waiting on the final design of the PDF output and testing.
Dynamic data that pushes out and pulls in so that once company information, disclaimers, and prompts are set in any form they will pull into any forms where those fields are present so that they only have to be entered once and will update automatically as new versions of the forms are updated.
As always – PLEASE SEND FEEDBACK – and let us know if there are any updates or ideas you have. We are actively working on improving all aspects of the app and workflow. Thank you!
