I normally charge about $450 to check on the heating and AC components
My brother-in-law called me when he wanted to buy a house. The guy wanted to know if the heating and AC components were in good shape or not. My brother-in-law called me because I work for a contracting firm that deals with HVAC systems. I mainly work with commercial heating and AC units, but I can just as easily evaluate and repair a residential system. Lately most of my work has been contracted work for a realty company. I have been performing inspections on the heating and AC units in homes that are on the market. That’s why my brother called me in the first place. He knew that I was already working on inspections and he wanted me to check out a place on the west side about 5 mi from my job. They offered to pay me $175 bucks, but I said it wasn’t necessary. After all, the guy is married to my sister. I normally charge about $450 to check on the heating and AC components. I also include all of the air vents, duct work, and any other parts of the system that might be included in the home. My brother-in-law wasn’t very happy to hear that the heating system showed major signs of wear and tear. I think he was hoping that the property would be affordable, but an upgrade to the heating system meant that the property was going to be about $6,000 more than that asking price and that made it too much money for a one-bedroom place on that side of town.
