Does my inspection check the air conditioner and furnace?

Yes, evaluating the heating and cooling systems is a core part of every inspection, and in our climate it's one of the most important parts, because Coon Rapids homes lean hard on both. For the furnace, we determine its age, operate it, check the burners and accessible portions, look at venting, and watch for red flags like a possible cracked heat exchanger, which is a serious carbon monoxide concern in our older furnaces. For central air, we operate the unit when outdoor temperatures allow (running a compressor in freezing weather can damage it, so if it's too cold we'll note that we couldn't fully test it). We check the age, the condition of the coil and lines we can see, and whether it's cooling properly. Both systems have a typical service life of around 15 to 20 years, and a lot of our 1970s-80s homes are on original or first-replacement equipment that's aging out. Knowing where the HVAC stands helps you budget and negotiate, since replacement is a known, sizeable cost. We'll tell you plainly whether you're buying near the end of these systems' lives.
