After a Home Inspection

Repair vs. replacement

Frequently Asked Questions
The home inspection said the AC 'may need replacement soon.' What does that mean?+
That's a common phrase in home inspection reports. It often reflects visible age or minor concerns rather than a full HVAC diagnostic. A professional HVAC second opinion gives you readings and documentation to make a more informed decision.
Can you help before my inspection contingency expires?+
We do our best to accommodate closing and contingency timelines on the Treasure Coast. Mention your deadline in the notes and we'll prioritize scheduling when possible.
Will you tell me whether to repair or replace?+
We give you a clear professional opinion based on what we observe: readings, visible condition, age where available, and refrigerant type. The final decision is yours and your Realtor's.
Is this a guarantee?+
No. This is a professional HVAC evaluation based on accessible equipment and operating conditions at the time of inspection.
