When searching the market for a house, you need to really do your homework. You should, for example, inquire about the condition of the plumbing, flooring, and roof. Most buyers, though, completely forget to ask about the HVAC. A homebuyer HVAC inspection is essential if you’re scouting for property in Seattle.

Inspect the HVAC

The AC and furnace are typically located out of sight. You should request to see these units. Of course, a visual examination alone doesn’t reveal a whole lot. Ask if the homeowner will be ok with a professional inspection. A technician will actively examine for system irregularities, such as rattling or low output.

Know the System’s Age

Enquire about the system’s age. This gives you a ballpark estimate of the length of time you have before you need to replace the HVAC. Typical units last around 10 to 15 years. An older HVAC unit, however, doesn’t have to be an automatic deal-breaker. If the homeowner has properly cared for the system over the years, then it likely still has plenty of life left in it.

Enquire About Maintenance History

Did the owner bring in a professional technician for annual maintenance or only when there was a clear issue? It’s a huge plus if the owner can show receipts confirming a consistent repair history.

Test the System

Have the owner run the HVAC system. Walk around the home when the HVAC is in full operation. Do you feel the cool air or heat more in some rooms than others? If so, there may be a problem with the vents or air duct. Problems within the ducts force the system to exert more output, leading to more energy consumption.

Called Aurora Edmonds Furnace Cleaning to get the exhaust for our Oil Furance and Dryer vent cleaned. Spoke with someone promptly and they got me scheduled quickly. Cleaners arrived on time, explained what they were doing, and were very thorough in their cleaning.

I needed to get the ducts and the fan cleaned. In the vents Jay found stuff my teengage kids played with when they were babies which tells me that the previos company I hired didn't do a good job. Everything is clean, I had a lot of questions and everything got answered. Other than cleaning the fan and ducts, Jay fixed the grid, the datached vents - thank you for helping me to keep my home clean! In my opinion this a much better quality work than most other companies out here.

Mike and Andrew cleaned out my dryer vent. We had never moved the dryer before to realize there was a hole in our vent duct that was leaking lint into our wall. They also cleaned out the wall cavity and applied metal duct tape to seal the vent until a replacement duct can be installed. Their thoughtfulness and above and beyond work helped save our home from a potential and hidden fire-danger. Thank you!

I called so many different companies and none of them would clean my dryer vent because of its odd location. I found AEF and they where able to come out the next day to find the problem with my vent. The technicians where super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will be calling AEF again in the future.

Great and timely service in a friendly but professional manner. I called a month after the service with a question and the owner dropped by personally to make sure everything was working properly. Beer impressive!
