Home Buyer Tip - Call a Furnace Company

Home inspections are an important part of the purchasing process. However I have found that home inspectors do not really go 'inside' the furnace to look for maintenance issues, etc.

TIP: make sure you have a furnace company check as well! Being one of the most expensive parts of a home, Buyers should know the condition and life expectancy of the main heating and cooling systems - before purchasing.

Bruce,

This is a good idea. And, if the heat excahnger is not working correctly, they will have to shut it down. better to know before closing than after.

Bruce---The inspectors I recommend always check to see when the date of last servicing was.  If not in the past year, we always request that the seller get this done!  Good tip!
