What you can't see can cost you the most: A little Texas home buying tip to save you big money

/ Duct Armor West Texas/

If you are considering buying a home, you absolutely need a home inspection especially if the home was built before 1990. If you have never seen a standard Texas Home Inspection report, you can view one by clicking HERE. One thing to know when choosing a Texas home inspector is that they are generalists, not specialists. A home inspector may have general knowledge about a home’s systems and components, but he is not an expert on every system in a home. Some of the best inspectors you can hire are those who have home building and home repair experience. Even with an experienced, veteran home inspector, ordering an air duct inspection could save you thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs.

If I have learned anything after 45 years of home ownership and 28 years as a professional home remodeling contractor, it’s the things you can’t see that can cost you the most.

A young couple looking to buy their first home in Lubbock called us to inspect the air ducts in a home they really liked. It did not take more than a few minutes to see that the underground air ducts in the home were badly damaged, very unhealthy, and in need of a complete restoration. The entire HVAC system is a complex system and repairs can be very costly. When considering placing an offer on a home, it is essential to know that the home has an HVAC system that is in good working order.

One thing you may not know about Texas home inspectors is that Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) only requires home inspectors to visually inspect “accessible” systems or components. This is a big problem when the home’s air ducts are underground.

If your Texas home inspector can’t visually see the home’s air ducts to evaluate their condition, they are not required to inspect or comment on their condition.

Here at Duct Are West Texas, we can provide you peace of mind with a pre-buy air duct inspection. You will receive video footage, still images, and a written report so you know the exact condition of the home’s HVAC system before you buy. Call us today so we can help you make a smart home buying decision!

“Just a little note with a BIG message...We are amazed at the improvement in the air quality of this home. I have struggled with my breathing since moving here 4 years ago. I am happy to say that I rarely turn on my oxygen during the day hours at home now. Your video inspection report was very detailed and informative. It was appreciated by our homeowner’s insurance and it prevented a delay in getting approved to proceed with the project. You have proven yourself to be a reliable and respectable company. We will continue referring our friends and neighbors to you. Thank you for everything!”
