Guys, I’ve found a great house, but I want to be sure — how can I really check if the HVAC system is in good condition? Is a standard inspection enough?
You’ve found a fantastic house—nice work! But to ensure peace of mind, don’t rely solely on a general home inspection. While those inspections check basic functionality, they often miss critical subtleties. A dedicated HVAC inspection digs deeper—evaluating system age, maintenance history, refrigerant leaks or type, efficiency ratings (like SEER or AFUE), ductwork condition, and more. These aspects can impact performance, costs, and safety. A clear guide to what to look for is found in this excellent article https://midhudsonnews.com/2025/07/14/what-to-look-for-on-an-hvac-inspection-report-before-buying-a-home/ It’s well worth reviewing before committing.
Exactly. I can run a detailed assessment — physical condition, corrosion, seals, electrical connections, filters, and overall efficiency.
