Routine HVAC Inspection Uncovers Fume Risk in Durham
What we found and did
Dexter and Jeorell found that the pan float switch was not hooked properly on the pan, so it would not work if needed, and that the exhaust pipe was broken, leaving the potential for fumes to leak back into the home. During the system inspection at this home in the 27703 area, they checked the gas, amps, and overall functioning of the system. They also checked that the flame sensor and rollout were working properly.
Result
Apart from the float switch and exhaust pipe issues noted, the system was doing good.
Why quality system inspections matters in Durham
Historic to Modern
Durham's diverse housing stock ranges from historic homes to modern builds, each requiring different HVAC approaches and solutions.
Bull City Summer Heat
The Bull City's hot, humid summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F demand reliable AC systems with proper maintenance schedules.
Retrofitting Challenges
Many older Durham homes have ductwork that wasn't designed for central AC, requiring creative solutions and expert retrofitting.
Outdoor Unit Care
Durham's tree-lined neighborhoods provide shade but also shed debris that can clog outdoor AC units, requiring regular cleaning and maintenance.

System Inspections in Durham: questions answered
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Durham.
How often should I have my HVAC system inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection at least once per year. Ideally, have your heating system checked in fall and your cooling system checked in spring, before each season of heavy use.
What is the difference between an inspection and a tune-up?
An inspection is a diagnostic evaluation that identifies problems and rates system health. A tune-up includes the inspection plus hands-on maintenance like cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting components. We offer both.
Can an inspection help me decide whether to repair or replace my system?
Yes. Our inspection report includes an efficiency rating and remaining useful life estimate, giving you the data you need to make an informed repair-vs-replace decision.
Do you inspect ductwork as part of a system inspection?
Yes. We measure static pressure, check accessible duct connections for leaks, and evaluate overall duct design. For a full duct assessment, we also offer dedicated ductwork inspections with airflow testing.
Will the inspection disrupt my home?
No. A standard HVAC inspection is non-invasive and typically completed in 60 to 90 minutes. We work cleanly and will not disassemble anything without discussing it with you first.
