Job completed for Polly S.

Completion date: April 5, 2018

Location: Earlysville, VA

Why did the customer contact us?

Client was a referral from an existing client. Polly is moving to the area and wanted a complete assessment of the HVAC in a home she is considering for purchase - separate from the home inspection.

Solutions provided:

We did a complete, non-invasive inspection of the system to identify everything from system type; make and model; age; general condition; and basic performance. As part of this type of inspection we look to identify any major concerns from a safety, performance and comfort perspective. The goal is to provide our clients the knowledge and details necessary to inform their purchase decision. In this engagement we work for you - not the seller, not the real estate agent - so there are no competing interests.
