Why it matters

Why age and refrigerant change the price

A general home inspection usually confirms that the heating and cooling respond to the thermostat. An HVAC-specific visit goes further, with gauges and meters on the equipment.

Age and refrigerant type carry the most weight in a negotiation. U.S. production and import of R-22 ended in 2020, so a system that still uses it gets expensive to recharge after a leak.

Newer equipment is moving away from R-410A to lower-impact refrigerants under EPA rules. Knowing which refrigerant a system uses tells you what future repairs may involve.

How it works

From scheduling to the written report

1

Schedule the visit

Call or book online with the address, closing timeline, who gets the report and how to access the home. Power must be on so the system can run.

2

Measured inspection

Each system is run and measured: refrigerant readings, temperature split, amp draw, static pressure, drain and ductwork.

3

Written report

Findings and readings in plain language. If repairs are recommended, a written quote comes with it so the numbers can go into the negotiation.

Straight answers

Common questions

Does an HVAC inspection replace a home inspection?

No. It adds a contractor’s measured look at the heating and cooling equipment to the general home inspection.

How do you tell how old the system is?

From the data plate and serial number on each unit. Most manufacturers encode the manufacture date in the serial number.

Can you inspect a vacant home?

Yes, as long as the power is on and access is arranged. The system has to run to be measured.

Will the report include repair costs?

If repairs are recommended, you get a written quote along with the report.
