- Proper Function: We test the heating and cooling systems for proper function.
- Filter Check: Filters are inspected to see if they are dirty and need replacement.
- Professional Servicing: This inspection is not the same as servicing the units. We look for problems but still recommend having them serviced by an HVAC professional every one to two years, as well as fireplaces or any gas appliances.
- Booking Service: We can arrange for an HVAC professional to service your units at the same time as our inspection. Please note that the client will pay the HVAC professional directly, as this service is not part of our program.
This ensures your heating and cooling systems are functioning properly and helps identify potential issues before they become costly problems.
Goal:- To identify and address issues in their early stages before they become costly problems, focusing on items that often lead to expensive repairs if not caught early.a

The report simplifies communication with trades by allowing them to provide rough quotes without visiting the property.
