HVAC inspection in Detroit: what to expect
An HVAC inspection in Detroit is a closer look at a home's furnace, boiler, air conditioner and venting than a general home inspection provides. Buyers often book one when the inspection report says the equipment is old, or when the seller cannot show service records.
Metro Detroit homes run mostly on natural gas forced-air furnaces with central air, while older homes in Detroit, Grosse Pointe, Ferndale and Royal Oak often have hot water or steam boilers. Common findings include cracked heat exchangers, orphaned water heater venting after a furnace upgrade, chimney liners that need replacement, dirty coils, refrigerant leaks and missing combustion air.
A home inspector reports what is visible; an HVAC technician can disassemble, run combustion analysis and give a repair or replacement quote. If replacement is likely, compare HVAC installation quotes or go back to home inspection companies in Detroit.
What a proper job includes
- Visual inspection of furnace or boiler, burners and heat exchanger
- Venting, chimney connection and draft check
- Carbon monoxide testing around appliances
- Air conditioner operation, condensate drain and coil condition
- Filter, blower and visible ductwork
- Age and data plate information for each unit
- A written summary with remaining life and safety notes
What drives the price
- Number of systems and zones
- Boiler and steam systems versus forced air
- Combustion analysis or heat exchanger camera inspection
- Access in attics, crawl spaces and tight basements
- Seasonal limits on testing AC in cold weather
- Bundling with a full home inspection

Licensing and standards in Michigan
An inspection needs no permit. Replacing a furnace, boiler or AC is mechanical work that needs a mechanical permit from the enforcing agency (BSEED in Detroit), pulled by a licensed mechanical contractor. Check the contractor license on the LARA lookup.
Michigan does not currently issue a state license for home inspectors, so credentials come from training and membership in a national association such as ASHI or InterNACHI, which publish standards of practice.
