As we know, summers in Massachusetts can get hot and humid, and the last thing we want to happen is our cooling system shutting down in our home we just moved into. Getting your cooling system checked before moving into any home can help prevent this from happening on a hot, sticky day. It’s important to schedule an inspection whether you’re moving into a home – brand-new or older.
Buying a Home
You may think your newly purchased home is all set to go because the house was just thoroughly looked at, right? Some home inspections may not include a detailed look at the cooling system. If your home inspection didn’t include something important like your HVAC system, what else did it miss? To ensure that the system is working correctly and efficiently, a thorough inspection of your HVAC system should be done with the purchase of a home. Always check to see what a home inspection contains before saying yes.
Newly Built Homes
Just as you should get an inspection done before moving into an older home, you also need to get an inspection done before moving into a brand-new home. New homes usually get inspected multiple times because there are often quite a few issues found. One common issue is problems with new installed HVAC systems, as we explain in our blog, New Homes: Is a Home Inspection Necessary?
Keep Up on Maintenance After the Inspection
If you want to get the most out of your cooling system, then regular inspections are advised. If you start to see signs of problems with your HVAC system, it’s important to get it repaired and maintained by qualified technicians. There are many benefits that come with keeping up with maintenance, such as:
- Lasts longer
- Increases safety
- Better air quality
- Cuts down on energy costs
- Significantly reduces the chances of the cooling system shutting down

The fact that radon causes cancer should be the reason to find out if you, or your family, is being exposed to excessive levels of the dangerous gas.

Buying a home is a huge investment, so traditionally it’s buyers that hire home inspectors during the home buying process to make sure the building they are buying is structurally sound, without hazardous materials, and any other dangers or hazards that could harm them or reduce the value of the home.
