Home Inspection Repairs

New Furnace, Water Heater, or AC Because they are OLD

8

Missy : If the HVAC system or water heater is working properly, its age does not matter. You cannot request the replacement of a functioning system. You can order an additional inspection (if you are still within the inspection period) and ask for repairs if they are needed, but that is it. If the age of the HVAC or water heater was not disclosed or disclosed in error before going under contract, you could request a concession, but the sellers do not have to give it to you. Don : I think that the majority of buyers do not look carefully at the boiler, furnace, and water heaters before making and offer, and may have no idea of their age until the inspection.
