How It Works
Our Process for AC Inspection Service
- 1
Gather background before arriving
We ask about the system's age, known issues, and what prompted the inspection. That context shapes what we look for when we get there.
- 2
Visual inspection of all accessible components
We look at the outdoor unit, air handler, refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and drain pan. We note anything that looks wrong or worn.
- 3
Operational testing
We run the system through a full cycle and measure performance — supply air temperature, temperature differential, and how the system responds under load.
- 4
Check refrigerant and electrical readings
We take actual measurements on capacitors, contactors, and refrigerant pressure. We don't guess — we record numbers and compare them to spec.
- 5
Compile a written findings report
We document what we found, category by category — what's in good shape, what's marginal, and what's a real problem. No vague language.
- 6
Walk you through the report in plain terms
We explain what the findings mean practically. If you ask what we'd do in your position, we'll tell you honestly.
What's included
- Full visual inspection of indoor and outdoor components
- Operational cycle test with temperature differential measurement
- Electrical component readings with actual values recorded
- Refrigerant pressure check and leak indicator assessment
- Written inspection report you can share with a realtor or landlord
- Verbal walkthrough of findings with the homeowner before we leave
What's not included
- Repairs or cleaning — an inspection documents condition, it doesn't fix anything
- Hidden wall or attic ductwork — we can only inspect what we can physically access
- Appliance or permit certifications — we don't issue occupancy or code compliance documents
Real Situations
Common Scenarios in Spokane
A buyer under contract on a home in the Audubon neighborhood gets a home inspection that says the AC unit is 'older and may need service' with no further detail.
We inspect the system specifically as part of a pre-purchase evaluation. We document the actual age, condition, refrigerant charge, and electrical health. That report gives the buyer real leverage in negotiations or helps them budget accurately for what's ahead.
A homeowner in the Moran Prairie area got a repair quote for a failed compressor but isn't sure if the repair is worth it on a 16-year-old unit.
We do an independent inspection to assess overall system condition — not just the compressor. We document what else is aging and give the homeowner a realistic picture of what they'd be putting money into. We don't make the decision for them, but we give them enough information to make it clearly.
A landlord preparing to lease a home near the South Perry district wants documentation that the AC is operational before a new tenant moves in.
We run a full inspection, test the system under load, and produce a written report with findings and current system condition. The landlord gets a dated document they can keep on file and share with the tenant if questions come up later.
Spokane Context
Why this matters in Spokane
A lot of Spokane's housing stock was built in the 1970s through 1990s, and many of those homes have original or once-replaced AC systems with no service records. When those homes change hands, buyers are often flying blind on mechanical condition. An inspection that produces actual measurements and written findings is worth considerably more than the vague language that shows up in a standard home inspection report.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Inspection findings sometimes uncover problems that change the scope of what you planned. If we find refrigerant loss or a failed part during an inspection, that's information — not an automatic repair order. You decide what happens next. Cost of any follow-up work is quoted separately and done only with your approval.
