What A Real Estate HVAC Inspection Includes

Your home’s comfort systems play a major role in value, safety, and everyday livability. During a real estate HVAC inspection, our technician evaluates the visible and accessible components of the heating and cooling equipment and documents current performance. We check items that matter to both buyers and sellers and note any concerns to address after the sale.

  • System identification and age verification for air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces, and air handlers
  • Operational testing for cooling and heating modes, thermostat response, and overall performance
  • Airflow observations, filter condition, and basic ductwork conditionm where accessible
  • Electrical connections, visible wiring, capacitors, contactors, and safety controls
  • Refrigerant-line condition, condensate drain function, and evaporator coil accessibility
  • Combustion area visual check on gas furnaces and venting, where accessible
  • Outdoor unit condition, clearances, and noise levels

Local Insight For Columbia, SC Homes

Our climate brings hot, humid summers, cool winters, and heavy spring pollen. Those conditions affect HVAC performance, especially in older homes with crawlspaces and original ductwork. Neighborhoods like Shandon, Forest Acres, and Rosewood often feature classic homes with mixed-age systems. Growing areas near Lake Murray, Lexington, and Irmo can experience high humidity that stresses condensate drains and attic ductwork. Homes near Fort Jackson or Northeast Columbia may have multi-system setups that need careful documentation.

Tip: During peak summer in Columbia, set aside a few extra minutes for the technician to test cooling after the home has been opened for showings. Allowing the system to stabilize can improve the accuracy of readings and help catch small issues early.

If you want peace of mind during storm season after you move in, learn how standby generators keep essentials powered during outages so your sump pump and HVAC can recover sooner.

What You Will Receive After The Inspection

You will get a practical, easy-to-share packet you can use with your agent, attorney, or contractor. We focus on clarity so everyone understands the current condition and what to do next.

  • A digital report with photos and plain-language notes
  • Priority list of recommended maintenance or repairs
  • Notes on estimated remaining life based on age and observed condition
  • Suggestions for comfort or efficiency improvements you can plan after closing

When you are ready to tune up or upgrade after the sale, schedule seasonal care with our heating and cooling team to keep your investment running smoothly.

What This Inspection Is Not

This service is a focused evaluation of the HVAC systems and related accessible components. It is not a full home inspection and does not replace the work of a licensed home inspector. We do not open sealed walls, perform load calculations during this visit, or quote final prices for repairs during the inspection. If further diagnostics are needed, we will explain options and next steps.
