A clear report on your heat pump's condition—efficiency verified, maintenance needs identified, no pressure for unnecessary repairs.

Load Calculation Verification
Refrigerant Charge Testing
Actionable Report Provided

What We Do

Heat pump inspections that help Tallyn's Reach homeowners verify system condition before purchase or diagnose performance issues

Covering load calculation verification, refrigerant charge testing, airflow measurement, electrical connection checks, and heating and cooling output assessment

Pre-Installation Load Calculation
Manual J calculation confirms system size matches your home's heating and cooling load
Heat Pump Performance Inspection
Refrigerant testing, airflow measurement, and efficiency verification with written report

Why Aurora Heat Pumps

Load calculation and efficiency testing reveal actual system condition

Most heat pump problems hide in the details—undersized systems that run constantly, refrigerant leaks that reduce output by 30%, or electrical issues that shorten equipment life. Without testing, you're guessing.

Common Challenges

Uncertain if the system is working right
No way to know if performance issues are normal or signs of hidden problems
Worried about expensive repair decisions
Making a repair or replacement choice without professional verification feels risky
Concerned about inspection pressure tactics
Fear that the inspector will push unnecessary repairs or replacement immediately

How We Help

Load calculation confirms proper sizing
Manual J calculation verifies the system matches your home's heating and cooling load
Refrigerant testing reveals efficiency loss
Superheat and subcooling measurements show if low charge is reducing output by 20-30%
Airflow measurement detects duct issues
CFM testing identifies restricted airflow that forces the compressor to work harder
Written report with maintenance priorities
Inspection findings ranked by urgency so you know what needs attention first
Pre-purchase leverage for negotiations
Documented system condition gives you factual basis for repair credits or price reduction

About This Service

About this Service

A heat pump inspection in Tallyn's Reach checks installed systems and pre-occupancy equipment in new builds, two-story family homes, and golf community properties. It suits homebuyers, builders confirming as-built performance, and homeowners establishing a baseline for seasonal efficiency.

Inspections include verification that installed equipment matches design load calculations, refrigerant charge and thermostat control commissioning, plus airflow and ductwork checks where applicable. Extended construction season in this planned community often means inspections are coordinated with final builder commissioning to avoid rework.

The outcome is a commissioning-style report showing measured output, identified installation defects, and recommendations for corrective work before occupancy. The inspection gives actionable data for negotiations or builder corrections but does not replace manufacturer commissioning or warranty review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about heat pump inspection

What to expect from the inspection process and how to use the findings.

You inherit unknown problems without negotiating leverage. A failing compressor costs $2,000-3,500 to replace. Low refrigerant from a leak reduces efficiency by 20-30% and requires repair plus recharge. Undersized systems run constantly and never reach temperature. Pre-purchase inspection reveals these issues before closing, giving you factual basis for repair credits or price reduction.

Inspection costs typically range from $150-300 depending on system complexity and testing scope. Pre-purchase inspections with full load calculation and efficiency testing cost more than basic performance checks. The inspection fee is minor compared to discovering a $3,000 compressor failure after purchase or making an uninformed repair decision.

Annual inspection before heating season catches refrigerant leaks, electrical issues, and airflow restrictions before they cause breakdowns. Systems over 10 years old benefit from biannual inspection to monitor efficiency decline. Pre-purchase inspection is essential when buying a home with an existing heat pump. Inspection after performance issues helps diagnose whether repair or replacement makes sense.

Inspection includes load calculation to verify sizing, refrigerant charge testing with superheat and subcooling measurements, airflow measurement in CFM, electrical connection checks, heating and cooling output testing, and visual inspection of outdoor condenser and indoor air handler. You receive a written report with efficiency metrics, maintenance needs ranked by urgency, and repair recommendations.

The $5000 rule suggests replacing instead of repairing when repair cost multiplied by system age in years exceeds $5000. Example: a $1,000 repair on a 6-year-old system equals $6,000, suggesting replacement. This rule is a guideline, not absolute. Inspection reveals actual system condition and remaining lifespan, helping you decide if repair extends life meaningfully or just delays inevitable replacement.

No. The inspection provides factual findings about system condition and performance. You receive a written report with maintenance needs ranked by urgency. The technician explains what requires immediate attention versus what can wait. You decide whether to schedule repairs, get additional quotes, or use findings for home purchase negotiations. No pressure to commit during the inspection visit.

Yes. Manual J load calculation during inspection confirms the system matches your home's heating and cooling load based on square footage, insulation, window area, and orientation. New construction in master-planned homes sometimes gets undersized systems to reduce builder costs. Inspection reveals if the system capacity matches actual load requirements or if you'll face comfort and efficiency issues.
