Our comprehensive HVAC inspection is designed to give you peace of mind by thoroughly examining the key components that affect indoor air quality. Air purifiers are checked to confirm they are effectively filtering out harmful particles, and we assess return air filters to ensure they are not clogged, maintaining optimal airflow.
We also inspect UV lights to make sure they are operational and capable of eliminating bacteria and mold, and we verify that humidifiers and dehumidifiers are maintaining appropriate humidity levels. Additionally, we examine zone dampers to ensure they are correctly regulating airflow, providing consistent heating and cooling throughout the home.

During a home inspection, assessing the HVAC system’s condenser coils, refrigerant lines, and power supplies is crucial. Dirty or clogged condenser coils can reduce efficiency and increase energy costs, while refrigerant lines must be leak-free to ensure proper cooling.
The power supply needs to be stable, as issues with wiring or connections can lead to system failures or pose safety risks. Identifying these potential problems before purchasing a home can help you avoid unexpected repairs and ensure the HVAC system is in good working order.

Air handlers and electric furnaces are responsible for circulating conditioned air throughout your home. They contain essential parts like the blower motor, electrical components, and evaporator coils, all of which must be in good condition for efficient operation.
During an inspection, we check the air handler or electric furnace for signs of wear, dirt buildup, and any mechanical issues – ensuring the air handler is functioning properly.

Our inspection services ensure that hydro and geothermal systems in your potential new home are in top condition, providing you with peace of mind and long-term energy savings.
Geothermal systems rely on underground loops or dedicated wells to regulate indoor climate efficiently. During our thorough inspection, we assess the underground loops for any leaks or damage and evaluate the heat pump’s performance.
By identifying any issues early on, we help you avoid costly repairs and ensure that the system operates at peak efficiency. Trust our expertise to protect your investment and secure a comfortable, energy-efficient home.
