Would you rather buy a house with a 5-year-old furnace or a 15-year-old furnace?
The answer isn't always as obvious as you think.
When buying a home, understanding the condition of the heating system matters. Maintenance history, installation quality, current performance, and visible warning signs can tell you more than the age alone.
A home inspection can't predict exactly when equipment will fail, but it can help identify concerns, determine when further evaluation may be needed, and give buyers useful information before closing.
At Total House Inspection, we help Michigan homebuyers understand the condition of the major systems they're purchasing, not just the cosmetic features that caught their attention.
Serving Oakland County, Macomb County, Wayne County, Washtenaw County, and surrounding Southeast Michigan communities.
