What does HVAC mean?
HVAC systems are essential components of any home. They keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They can be gas, electric, oil, solid fuel or a combination of these.
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.
A qualified professional needs to inspected, cleaned and serviced on a regular basis.
During the home inspection, the home’s HVAC system will be checked out to make sure it’s working properly. They look for any signs of wear and tear, potential damage, or any other issues that could be causing problems. Testing the HVAC system’s distribution systems (ducts and vents) to make sure they are properly installed and working is part of the inspection.
Regular service and Maintenance
Unmaintained HVAC systems can lead to mold growth, dust mites accumulation, and unhealthy indoor air quality.
Regular cleaning and filter changes are very important. Hiring an HVAC professional regularly can help you avoid any serious HVAC system problems and keep your family safe.
summary
The HVAC system portion of the home inspections is to make sure that your HVAC system is functioning correctly and safely. By hiring a qualified home inspector can help identify potential HVAC system problems before they become costly or dangerous repairs down the line. In doing so will also ensure that your HVAC system is providing you with clean air, optimal energy efficiency, and improved indoor air quality.
Regular maintenance and service by an HVAC professional ensures your HVAC system is operating safely and efficiently, providing you with comfort in the years to come.
FYI: The inspector can’t test the AC in cold weather. It can cause damage to the unit which could be costly to repair.
Don’t forget to check your humidifier too.
