HVAC Checklist Before Selling a Southern California Home

When you’re selling a home in Southern California, it’s expected that any buyer who makes an offer will want to have your home inspected to assess the structure and systems. Nowadays, many buyers also want more detailed inspections on essential systems like the Hvac. To ensure that a buyer’s inspection goes smoothly, you’ll want to tackle the following HVAC-related checklist before your home goes on the market.

Schedule Professional HVAC System Service

If your system hasn’t had professional maintenance performed recently, it’s wise to schedule service with a reputable HVAC contractor before you list your home. A maintenance visit that includes a detailed inspection, tune up and cleaning is the best way to ensure that your HVAC system is in good working condition and running reliably, safely and efficiently. After your home goes up for sale, you can help to maintain proper system airflow and efficiency by replacing the air filter monthly.

Have Any Needed Repairs Completed

If your technician finds any problems or developing issues during your maintenance appointment and recommends specific actions or repairs, get them taken care of promptly. Doing so can give you peace of mind that a buyer’s HVAC inspection report won’t reveal any problems.

Get the Ductwork Inspected

Damaged, leaking or uninsulated ductwork is a concern that a buyer’s inspector will note and include in their report. To avoid having to deal with repairing the ductwork in the midst of a sale, now’s the time to have the system checked for defects and take care of any necessary repairs, then get the accessible ducts sealed and insulated.

Consider Upgrading Aging Equipment

If your HVAC technician advises that your equipment is close to the end of its lifespan, or it needs costly repairs, upgrading it before your home goes up for sale may be the wisest option. Although this expense may seem unnecessary, having new equipment in place can make your home more attractive to potential buyers and help it sell faster.
