Heating & Cooling System
Over time, furnaces, central air conditioners and heat pumps wear out. If they’re not properly maintained, they wear out much faster. An HVAC inspection should ensure all systems are operating safely and at optimal performance. An efficient system will save money on energy consumption, as well.
Ductwork
Ducts play an essential role in any forced-air heating and cooling system, as they carry the heated or cooled air throughout a home. In many homes, ducts have multiple air leaks, lack proper insulation and are inefficiently designed. Poor and leaking ductwork can lead to significant energy loss in a home.
Mold and Other Contaminants
Mold, mildew and bacteria can often be the result of a poorly maintained air conditioning system. Mold can be very difficult to remove if it gets bad enough. If mold gets into ductwork or around the in-door A/C coil, it can contaminate the house- hold air and lead to health problems for home residents.
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
An HVAC inspection should make sure that the combustible furnace is safely vented to the outdoors. A good inspection will also ensure that there is enough space to dissipate carbon monoxide, if any leaks occur.
Ventilation
Without effective ventilation, dirty, stale, humid air will accumulate inside. Your HVAC inspector should check for adequate ventilation throughout the house, including the attic. Proper ventilation is needed for a healthy indoor environment.
