Air quality and comfort are very important to a home. A properly functioning HVAC system is vital to managing moisture conditions leading to air quality and comfort. Our heating and cooling analysis provides our clients with a written opinion of heating and cooling performance at the time of inspection.
HVAC Equipment
Your A-Pro Salt Lake Valley Home Inspector understands the importance of a proper functioning HVAC system. Hot, humid air creates moisture conditions within the home that are conducive to:
- Poor air quality
- Physical discomfort
- Fungi growth potential
A proper functioning system will extract humidity while conditioning your home’s air as efficiently as possible. Your A-Pro Salt Lake Valley Home Inspector examines the unit for its ability to sufficiently heat and cool the home. Primary and secondary pipes and drain pans are also inspected.
