🍂🥶 TEMPS ARE DROPPING, THE HEAT IS ON… BUT WHAT ABOUT THE A/C? 🏡
Here’s something every homebuyer should know!
🌡️ When outdoor temperatures drop below approximately 60–65°F, your home inspector may NOT be able to safely operate and test your air conditioning system. Running it in colder temperatures could potentially damage the equipment.
⚠️ That means you could be buying a home without knowing if the A/C actually works!
đź’ˇ HOW CAN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF?
✅ Talk to your real estate attorney about options to protect yourself if the A/C can’t be tested before closing.
âś… Consider a home warranty that includes A/C coverage, and be sure to review the exclusions and limitations.
✅ Ask for maintenance records and the system’s service history.
🏡 Remember: Just because your inspector can’t test it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t plan for it!
Protect yourself BEFORE closing, not when it’s 95° outside and the A/C won’t turn on! 🥵
