What do homeowners ask about Heat Pump Inspection?

What does a heat pump inspection include?

A full inspection covers the outdoor condenser, indoor air handler or head unit, refrigerant pressure, electrical components, thermostat operation, and an operational test in both heating and cooling modes. The crew delivers a written report covering everything they found.

Is a heat pump inspection the same as a tune-up?

No. An inspection documents the current condition but does not include coil cleaning, filter replacement, or refrigerant adjustment. A tune-up includes those service tasks. If you need both, ask about combining them into one visit.

Can an inspection tell me if I should repair or replace my heat pump?

Yes. The written report includes a remaining useful life estimate and a repair versus replacement recommendation based on the system's current condition, age, refrigerant type, and repair history. You get a clear answer to the question, not a vague "it depends."

Do you provide a written report I can use for a home sale or purchase?

Yes. The inspection report is written and formatted to be included in a home sale disclosure package or shared with a real estate agent or attorney. It covers make, model, age, condition rating, observed deficiencies, and repair or replacement recommendations.
