HVAC is the most common flag on buyer inspections — and the most expensive surprise at the negotiating table. We'll check your system before your first showing. Free visit. Written summary. No repairs required.
No charge for the visit. If we find repairs, we quote them — you decide what to do. No pressure.
In Phoenix, your AC runs 3,000+ hours per year. By the time a home hits the market at 10–15 years old, the system has worked harder than in any other climate in the country. Buyer inspectors know this — and they check it thoroughly.
When a buyer's inspector finds a failing capacitor, worn contactor, low refrigerant, or a system approaching end of life, the buyer has leverage. They ask for a price reduction, a credit, or a full replacement — on their timeline, in the middle of your closing window.
Finding it first means you control the decision: fix it on your terms, price it into the sale, or disclose it honestly and let the market respond. Any of those is better than a surprise at inspection.
Everything a buyer's inspector will check — plus the items they often miss. Written summary included.
Equipment age and estimated remaining useful life
Refrigerant charge and leak indicators
Electrical connections, capacitors, and contactor condition
Evaporator and condenser coil condition
Blower motor and filter condition
Ductwork visible access points — leaks, separation, insulation
Thermostat calibration and operation
Condensate drain and pan condition
Any immediate repair needs that could flag on a buyer inspection
Written summary of condition — ready for your disclosure documents
Whatever we find, you leave with information instead of a closing-day problem.
We give you a written summary confirming the system's condition. You disclose it confidently. Buyers can't use HVAC as a negotiating chip. The deal moves cleanly.
We quote the repairs. A capacitor or contactor replacement runs $150–$350. You fix it before listing, disclose the service record, and remove the issue entirely. Costs less than a buyer's credit.
You know before the buyer does. You can price the home accordingly, offer a credit, or replace on your timeline — not theirs. Knowledge at listing is leverage at closing.
If you regularly list homes in the West Valley, we're a resource for you. A pre-listing HVAC check — included in your listing prep process — removes the most common inspection surprise before it becomes a negotiation problem. We turn around the written summary within 48 hours, we work around showing schedules, and our reports are written for disclosure documents, not technical manuals.
Call Brian directly. We'd rather be the contractor you trust on every listing than the one your seller finds after the inspection flags something.
Call or email to schedule. We need 24–48 hours advance notice and access to the property. Written summary delivered within 48 hours. No charge for the visit — if repairs are needed, we quote them and you decide.
