It also aims to provide recommendations for any maintenance or repairs that could be required.
   

Checking the HVAC System of Edgewater Homes

An HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) check is often carried out to ensure that a home's HVAC system is operating correctly, safely, and efficiently. The following actions may be part of a typical HVAC inspection:

Inspection of the air filter: The air filter will be examined to ensure it is clear and unobstructed. A filthy filter can obstruct airflow and decrease the effectiveness of the system.

Inspection of the ductwork: The inspector will look for leaks, disconnections, or other problems that could reduce the system's effectiveness in the ducting.

Inspection of the furnace or boiler: The inspector will examine the furnace or boiler to ensure appropriate operation, looking for any signs of wear or damage to the burners, pilot light, or heat exchanger. Additionally, they will ensure the flue and venting system are connected correctly and unblocked.

Inspection of the air conditioner: The inspector will examine the air conditioner to ensure correct performance, looking for any evidence of wear or damage in the compressor, evaporator, and condenser.

The inspector will examine the thermostat to ensure it is functional and properly calibrated.

To ensure the system operates according to the manufacturer's requirements, check the airflow, temperature, and pressure.

Verify the safety controls, such as the roll-out switch, high limit switch, and pressure switch.

Inspecting the electrical connections, wiring, and safety features are in good working order.

An HVAC inspection's overall goal is to find any problems affecting the system's effectiveness, safety, or appropriate operation and offer advice regarding potential maintenance or repair requirements.
