HVAC Inspectionin Kendall, FL
Independent written assessment of an HVAC system before you buy a home, sell one or plan a replacement.
HVAC Inspection for Kendall buildings
Most Kendall homes have a split system with the air handler in the garage or an interior closet and ducts in a vented attic. That layout is simple to service and gives us room to install properly sized, high-efficiency equipment. The limiting factor is usually the original return duct, which is too small for a modern system on many houses from the 1980s, and we check it before quoting a replacement.
A general home inspection confirms that the air conditioner turns on. It does not tell you how old the system is, what refrigerant it uses, whether the coil is leaking or how much life it has left. Replacing a system is one of the largest costs a new owner can face, so it is worth knowing before closing.
Our inspection gives you a written report with photographs, measured readings and a realistic estimate of remaining service life.
What the inspection covers
- Age, model, refrigerant type and warranty status
- Refrigerant pressures and temperature drop
- Condition of coils, drain pan and electrical components
- Ductwork condition and visible leakage
- Whether the installation was permitted
- Estimated cost of any repair or replacement needed
How it works
- We schedule the visit around your inspection period or listing date.
- The technician tests the system for about an hour.
- You receive the written report with photographs, usually the same day.
HVAC Inspection in Kendall: questions
Can I use the report to negotiate a home purchase?
Yes. Buyers often use a documented repair or replacement estimate to request a credit or price reduction during the inspection period.
Is a permit required for HVAC work in Kendall?
Installing or replacing air conditioning equipment in Kendall requires a mechanical permit and a final inspection. Permits here are issued by Miami-Dade County, since Kendall is unincorporated and has no city building department. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning do not need one. We file the paperwork and attend the inspection.
Who issues AC permits in Kendall?
Kendall is an unincorporated community, so mechanical permits come from Miami-Dade County's permitting office instead of a city building department. We file the permit, schedule the county inspection and meet the inspector on site.
Why are the back bedrooms in my Kendall house always warmer?
On single-storey Kendall homes the bedrooms are usually at the end of the longest duct runs. Leaky or crushed attic ducts and an undersized return are the usual causes. We measure airflow at each register and fix the duct problem, which is often cheaper than replacing the air conditioner.
