Is an HVAC-Specific Inspection Worth It?
Just read an eye‑opening article on what to look for in an HVAC inspection report before buying a home. It made me realize how often homebuyers rely on general inspections—only to run into nasty surprises later. The article pointed out that only a specialist can catch problems like corrosion, duct leaks, outdated refrigerants (like R‑22), poor airflow, or inefficient systems. If a system is over 15–20 years old, it’s often nearing replacement, and maintenance costs can really pile up. Plus, newer energy-efficient units may qualify for tax credits and rebates—something I hadn’t considered before! For anyone house-hunting, it seems like a smart move to book a dedicated HVAC inspection. Spending a few hundred bucks now could save thousands later—and give you real peace of mind before sealing the deal.
