Buying a Property in Cold Weather With a Central AC Unit?
If the outside temperature is below 60 degrees fahrenheit we are not able to test a central AC unit because the condenser will burn out. Therefore we strongly suggest you test the AC unit during the final walk through (if the temperature is warm enough). If you feel the temperature will not be warm enough at closing than add a rider to the contract that money will be held in escrow until the AC unit can be tested in warmer weather.

"I was intrigued and impressed by the model of two inspectors, and appreciated their quick reply and ease of scheduling. We've used Precision twice now, for two separate homes, and could not be more satisfied. They have a distinct focus on educating the owner about the house they are purchasing. And not just about the house as it is, but forward-looking maintenance, too. They were thorough, spent time answering our questions, and provided a very clear, easy to read report with many photographs. We could not offer a stronger endorsement of using them for a home inspection. -- Todd P., Ph.D., Port Jefferson, NY"
