Buying
or selling a home? Whichever side of the transaction
you are on (often it’s both), there are many factors
that can affect the final settlement price, including
the condition of a home’s heating and cooling
system. A thorough inspection of the home’s heating
and cooling system can keep it from becoming a snag
in your negotiations.
SELLERS
For sellers, we recommend that your home’s heating
and cooling system be inspected by Modern Comfort Systems
prior to the general home inspection
that your buyer orders.
Because our inspection includes a system tune-up, it
helps ensure that the system provides peak performance
during the general inspection (and afterwards). If our
technician finds a problem, knowing about it ahead of
time will allow you to decide how to address it so you
can negotiate your settlement with greater confidence.
If the system is shown to be trouble-free, you will
be equipped with that data should concerns be raised
by the buyer during or after the settlement process.
Please consult your realtor for guidance.
If you already have a service & repair plan with Modern Comfort Systems,
the portion that remains after settlement is transferable
to the new homeowner.
BUYERS
For buyers, we recommend that you ask the seller when
the system was last tuned-up and by whom. This will
enable you to access the results of the tune-up. If
it was not performed by Modern Comfort, call
us and we'll help you decipher the results
at no charge. We want to be your heating and air conditioning
company for as long as you own your home.
Likewise, if there is no record of an annual tune-up,
please call us to schedule an inspection prior to settlement.
Under these circumstances, the cost for this inspection
generally falls to the buyer, however, any repairs that
may be required can be negotiated with the seller. Please
consult your realtor for guidance.
