Heating, Ventilation &
Air Conditioning System Inspection
The HVAC system (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) plays a key role in maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.
Our inspection includes a basic visual and operational assessment of the main HVAC components to check airflow, temperature control and general condition.
We look for visible signs of damage, poor maintenance or inefficiency and recommend professional servicing when required.
Heating System
Inspect visible components for general condition, rust, leaks or other damage. Check that the system powers on and that airflow or heat output is consistent.
Ventilation System
Assess ventilation for proper airflow and air exchange. Inspect kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans, ductwork and attic ventilation for blockages, moisture buildup or mould.
Air Conditioning
Check that the air conditioning system operates and cools effectively. Look for visible condensation leaks, blocked vents or damage to the outdoor unit.
Air flow & Circulation
Assess airflow from vents and registers for consistency and direction. Note any rooms with poor air movement or signs of restricted flow.
Ductwork & Insulation
Visually inspect accessible ductwork for signs of leaks, damage or poor sealing. Check that visible insulation is intact and not deteriorating.
Thermostat
Adjust the thermostat to verify system responsiveness. Confirm that heating or cooling activates and airflow or radiator temperature changes accordingly. Check that controls respond and display readings are clear.
Safety Considerations
Check for carbon monoxide detectors near gas-powered HVAC systems. Look for exposed wiring, improper venting or fire hazards related to the HVAC system.
Non-Invasive
All inspections are non-invasive and focus on identifying potential issues for further evaluation by a qualified HVAC professional.
Frequently Asked Questions – HVAC System Inspection
Question: What does an HVAC inspection include?
Answer: Our HVAC inspection includes a basic visual and operational assessment of accessible heating, ventilation and air-conditioning components. We check general condition, airflow, temperature control, visible damage, ventilation and signs of poor maintenance or inefficiency.
Question: What do you check on an air-conditioning system?
Answer: We check that accessible air-conditioning units operate and provide cooling, and look for visible damage, blocked or damaged vents, condensation issues and problems around the outdoor unit. We also assess whether airflow appears consistent.
Question: How do you check the ventilation system?
Answer: We assess accessible ventilation systems, including kitchen and bathroom extraction fans, ductwork and attic ventilation. We look for restricted airflow, blockages, poor sealing, moisture buildup and signs of mould or condensation.
Question: Can an HVAC Inspection identify poor airflow?
Answer: Yes. We check airflow from accessible vents and registers and look for rooms where air movement appears weak or restricted. Poor airflow can indicate blocked vents, ductwork problems, equipment issues or inadequate circulation.
Question: Do you check the thermostat and heating controls?
Answer: Yes. Where accessible, we operate the thermostat and controls to confirm that the heating or cooling system responds and that temperature settings and controls appear to function correctly.
Question: Can you check for HVAC-related moisture or condensation?
Answer: Yes. We look for visible signs of condensation, moisture around air-conditioning units and ventilation areas, as well as conditions that could contribute to moisture buildup or mould. Where appropriate, other diagnostic equipment may be used to investigate moisture concerns.
Questions: Do you repair or service HVAC Systems?
Answer: No. The HVAC inspection is a non-invasive assessment, not a specialist service or repair. We identify visible or operational concerns and recommend qualified HVAC servicing where further investigation or repair is required.
