Professional HVAC inspection across the Bay Area

Whether you're heading into the first cold snap or the first real heat wave of the year, an HVAC inspection checks the system that's the most expensive to have fail without warning — furnace, AC, and thermostat. NorTech connects you with background-checked, vetted local providers who test operation and document condition with photos, at a flat rate you approve before booking. This is an inspection, not a repair — if your thermostat or breaker turns out to be the issue, NorTech's Thermostat Troubleshooting or Breaker Reset services cover the actual fix.

What a NorTech HVAC inspection covers

Your matched provider checks furnace operation and heat output, AC operation and cooling output, thermostat operation, and filter and vent condition. Every item is rated Good, Fair, Poor, or N/A with a photo attached to anything flagged — the same report format used across every NorTech home inspection.

When to book hvac inspection

You want to know your furnace or AC will actually work before the season that needs it arrives.

You're buying a home and want a focused report on HVAC system condition.

You're a landlord preparing a rental and want a documented HVAC baseline before a new tenant moves in.

Your system has started making a new noise or running differently and you want an early read on it.

It's simply been a year since anyone looked, and you'd rather catch a small issue before the season that needs it.

30-Day Warranty

Backed by your provider’s warranty. If covered work fails, your provider makes it right — free.
