HVAC help for home sales

Home inspection flagged the HVAC?

We will help you understand what needs attention, what can be repaired, and what comes next.

Most agents call us after the general home inspection. Share the furnace or AC corrections with us for a fair, written repair quote. We help buyers and sellers, without taking sides.

Clear findings. Your decision.

Get the HVAC items squared away

Share the inspection corrections with us. We help buyers and sellers work through HVAC concerns during escrow.

1. Send the report

Call, text or email with the address and the HVAC report or correction list.

2. We review the items

We review the flagged items and arrange an on-site visit when needed.

3. Written findings and quote

You receive a written quote before work, with clear findings to share in negotiations.

4. Repairs once approved

Repair when it is the right call. If replacement makes more sense, we explain why, without pressure. You and your client decide.

What you get

What our HVAC report includes

Our HVAC inspections go beyond the general inspector’s note. The report is written so an agent, buyer or seller can read it without an HVAC background.

  • The equipment we found: furnace or air handler, AC or heat pump, thermostat and visible ductwork
  • Condition and operating readings, as they apply to each system
  • What is working, what needs attention, and why it matters
  • Photos and short videos of each finding
  • A written quote for any repairs, with the price before any work
  • If replacement makes more sense, a free replacement estimate

Photos and video

See the equipment without going in the attic

Every visit is documented with photos and short videos of the equipment, the readings and anything that needs attention. We send them with the written findings, so everyone in the transaction is looking at the same thing.

That helps when the buyer is out of town, when the seller has already moved, or when the furnace is in a tight attic nobody wants to climb into.

Corrections

How fast corrections get done

Escrow runs on dates, so tell us your timeline on the first call. We schedule the visit around it and keep the agent in the loop.

  • Same-day service is almost always available, except in extreme weather
  • Many common corrections can be done in a single visit once the quote is approved
  • If parts or a permit will add time, we tell you up front so you can plan around it
  • When the work is done, you get photos and video of the completed corrections

FAQ

Home-sale HVAC questions

Can I email you the home inspection report?

Yes. Send the HVAC corrections, or the full report, and we will use that to scope a fair repair quote.

Do you only work for buyers or only for sellers?

Both. We are used to helping either side get the HVAC squared away during a sale, without taking sides.

Is this the same as the general home inspection?

No. The general inspector flags concerns; we provide the HVAC specialist look and repair pricing when those items need to be addressed.

What does your HVAC inspection report include?

The equipment we found and its condition, operating readings, what is working, what needs attention and why, photos and short videos of each finding, and a written quote for any repairs. You can share it with the other side in negotiations.

Do you send photos and video?

Yes. We document what we find with photos and short videos, so agents, buyers and sellers can see the equipment without going into the attic or onto the roof.

How fast can the corrections be done?

Tell us your escrow timeline when you call. We schedule around it, and many common corrections can be done in a single visit once your client approves the quote. Parts or permits can add time, and we tell you up front when they will.

Do you offer pre-sale HVAC inspections?

Yes. Sellers can get ahead of likely HVAC flags before listing.

Do you work directly with real estate agents?

Yes. Agents can call or text us at (562) 201-3014 with the property address, the HVAC report or correction list, and the escrow timeline. We provide written findings and a written quote before any work, so everyone works from the same information.

Can you also make the HVAC corrections?

Yes. After we review the flagged items, we give you a written quote. Once your client approves, our team completes the repairs. If replacement makes more sense, we explain why, the replacement estimate is free, and you and your client decide.
