What does an HVAC inspection before buying a building include?
Bay Area HVAC Service documents the heating and cooling equipment on your agreed list. You receive unit identification, condition photos and repair priorities.
The visit can cover commercial rooftop package units and split systems, or the HVAC equipment in a home. Start with the systems you’ll be responsible for after the sale or lease.
Taking over a commercial space
A rooftop unit may serve a tenant area that’s separate from the rest of the property. Send the equipment list before you commit to inspecting it. Ask the owner or property manager to arrange access to the roof and occupied spaces.
For commercial buyers and tenants, the report gives each listed system its own record. Use those findings when discussing equipment responsibilities with the other party.
Buying, selling or managing a home
A buyer can request the visit before closing. A seller can arrange it before listing, while a landlord can check equipment ahead of a tenancy. Current owners can also book a condition inspection.
Include the heating and cooling systems you want checked. If there’s more than one system, list each rather than describing the property as having central air.
What will the HVAC report tell me?
The report identifies individual units and separates immediate attention from work that can wait. You can read it online or save a PDF copy.
Nameplate details include the manufacturer, model, serial number and refrigerant. Equipment age is recorded when the label or a decodable serial number establishes it. Condition photos keep the findings tied to the right unit.
For an example, open the dessert shop’s equipment report. It includes two rooftop units alongside refrigeration equipment. The commercial setting differs from a home, but you can see how individual equipment findings are presented.
Is this a home inspection or a code inspection?
No. This visit assesses equipment condition. It isn’t a building inspection, home inspection, code inspection or property appraisal.
Arrange those services separately if your transaction needs them. Bay Area HVAC Service operates under CSLB #1136642. We’re a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Contractor; that status doesn’t change the limits of this inspection.
How do I request an inspection quote?
Send the unit list and property location through our contact page. Inspection pricing is negotiable, based on volume, including the number of units.
Include your purchase or lease deadline and the person arranging access. We’ll agree on the equipment to inspect and confirm appointment timing before the visit. Repairs require a separate quote.
