HVAC equipment costs
A home’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning system is one of, if not the most expensive appliance in the home you have under contract. A new HVAC system may cost several times the expense of a refrigerator or stove and many more parts need to be inspected.
HVAC systems aren’t typically closely inspected in a standard home inspection
According to Virginia law, home inspectors are only required to note “readily accessible components and readily observable defects”. A home’s heating and cooling system may have multiple problems that don’t meet these simple criteria. It’s best to have an HVAC professional check the mechanical equipment and ductwork separate from the regular home inspection to be sure they’re actually in good condition, or if repairs may be needed.
Heating and Cooling is likely over half of a home’s energy bill
No matter the heating source, electric, LP gas, or oil, running heat and air conditioning equipment is a relatively expensive monthly bill. Summer months with extended periods of hot and humid weather can take a toll on the homeowner’s wallet in addition to the mechanical equipment. If it’s not running correctly, these expenses are higher.
Call Patriot Heating and Cooling to make sure the HVAC system in that house for sale is in good working order!
