Why get an HVAC inspection?

An HVAC inspection is a thorough evaluation of an heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system. It is key to ensuring the HVAC system of the home you are buying is running efficiently, safely, and is free from potential issues that could lead to costly repairs down the line. There are two big reasons to get an HVAC inspection on any home you are considering purchasing:

1. Discover potentially costly repairs: Few things are worse than spending hundreds of thousands of your hard-earned dollars on a home, just to find out on move-in day that the HVAC system isn't working right. It happens all the time, which is why we came out with our $99 HVAC inspection. Invest the money in an HVAC inspection and you drastically reduce the chance of being surprised by thousands of dollars of HVAC repairs right after purchasing your new home.

2. Ensure safety: HVAC systems can be dangerous if older or improperly installed. An inspection can identify potential hazards, such as gas leaks or electrical issues, and allow you to work the correction of those into the purchase contract for the home.

3. Gain leverage during the negotiating process: Depending on how hot the real estate market is, customers are sometimes able to use our report to negotiate a lower purchase price. If the HVAC system is old or has issues, the purchase price should be lowered accordingly.

What does an HVAC inspection include?

During an HVAC home inspection, our trained technicians will thoroughly evaluate your system. Here’s what you can expect:

1. System performance check: We’ll test your system to ensure it’s running at optimal performance levels. Depending on the outdoor temperature, we may only be able to test one of the two modes (heating / cooling).

2. Failing parts: We’ll thoroughly check the parts that commonly lead to HVAC system failure.

3. Safety checks: We’ll check for gas leaks, carbon monoxide risks, and electrical issues.

4. Condensate drain inspection: We’ll inspect the condensate drain for routing issues that could lead to water damage.

5. Delayed maintenance: We’ll check both the indoor and outdoor units for signs of delayed maintenance that may lead to issues post-purchase.

All of the above are detailed thoroughly in an report that is emailed over post-inspection.

Why do I need an HVAC inspection when the home inspector checks the HVAC system too?

Home inspectors generally do a great job of checking out homes for issues. That said, they are by nature generalists. They know enough about homes and how they are built to spot many issues, but they are not going to be able to dig into and diagnose issues with complicated mechanical parts of the home like the HVAC system. If you just get a home inspection during your home purchase, you are flying blind and potentially walking into thousands of dollars in HVAC repairs post-purchase.
