Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an HVAC inspection if my home inspector already looked at it?
Home inspectors do a surface-level check. They’re not HVAC specialists. For a $250k+ home purchase, a $189 specialist inspection often catches issues the home inspector missed — and either gives you peace of mind or negotiating leverage.
Will the inspection void my warranty?
No. Inspections are non-invasive — we don’t open sealed components or disassemble anything beyond access panels.
How long does it take?
60–90 minutes on-site for residential. PDF report within 48 hours.
Will you push me to do repairs?
No. Inspection is independent of any repair recommendation. Our report tells you what we found — what to do about it is your decision. We’re happy to do the work, or you can hire anyone.
