AC Questions to get Answered before Purchasing a Home

There are a lot of questions to get answered before purchasing a home. One area of the home that often gets overlooked when thinking of questions to get answered is regarding the AC system of the home. At Ideal Conditions, we’re excited to be the AC contractor that you can count on to get all of your HVAC questions answered. Before purchasing a home, we’ve got a few AC questions that you should get answered before committing to this big investment.

What Type of AC System are you Dealing With?

Depending on the type, age and style of the home, you could be dealing with a wide range of AC systems. Common AC systems that Ideal Conditions regularly sees in homes includes an AC or heat pump, furnace or boiler. The good news for you is that our experienced AC system experts can work on any type of AC system.

Is the AC System under Warranty?

Another important question to get answered before purchasing a home is whether or not the AC system is still under warranty. If it is, then that will provide you some additional peace of mind when purchasing the home. If it’s no longer under warranty, it’s not the end of the world, however you may need to plan for AC repairs or replacement in the future.

What is the Age of the AC System?

On average, an AC system will last between 10 to 15 years. If the AC system is getting up in age, you’ll need to be prepared financially for the potential of a system replacement in the future. It’s good to ask the age of the AC system upfront so that you are not caught off guard by this after the home is purchased.

Has an HVAC Inspection Occurred?

A home inspection is a requirement by most mortgage companies before purchasing a home. Making sure that the HVAC system is properly inspected is something else that should be done before purchasing a home. This inspection will help give you the answers that you need to determine the quality of the system. If it’s already been done, be sure to ask for a copy of the inspection. If one hasn’t been done, try and incorporate this into the agreement.
