HVAC System

The HVAC system (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) plays a crucial role in maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment. A properly functioning HVAC system ensures efficient temperature control, adequate airflow, and good air quality, reducing energy costs and preventing potential health hazards. During an inspection, we assess key components, including heating elements, ventilation systems, and air conditioning units, checking for operational efficiency, safety concerns, and maintenance needs. By identifying potential issues early, we help homeowners ensure their HVAC system is functioning reliably and efficiently.

Areas We Check

1. Heating System

Inspect the heating system for functionality, efficiency, and safety. Check for visible signs of damage, leaks, or rust. Ensure the thermostat properly controls the heating and that airflow from vents or radiators is consistent.

2. Ventilation System

Assess ventilation for proper airflow and air exchange. Inspect kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans, ductwork, and attic ventilation for blockages, moisture buildup, or mold.

3. Air Conditioning System

Verify that the air conditioning system is cooling effectively. Check for leaks, condensation buildup, dirty evaporator coils, and proper airflow from vents. Inspect the outdoor unit for damage and obstructions.

4. Air Filters and Air Quality

Examine air filters for cleanliness and proper installation. Assess air quality by checking for excessive dust, mold, or allergens around vents. Recommend filter replacement if needed.

5. Ductwork and Insulation

Visually inspect exposed ductwork for signs of leaks, damage, or poor sealing. Ensure insulation is intact and not deteriorating.

6. Thermostat Operation

Test the thermostat for responsiveness and accuracy. Ensure it properly controls heating and cooling functions and maintains the desired indoor temperature.

7. Safety Considerations

Check for carbon monoxide detectors near gas-powered HVAC systems. Look for exposed wiring, improper venting, or fire hazards related to the HVAC system.
