Note: No representation is made regarding line integrity or coolant charges since the inspector does not perform
pressure tests on coolant systems. The inspector will not operate the cooling system if the outside temperature is
less that 60 degrees (F).
Window or wall mounted and gas fired units are not inspected. Due to variations in the type of materials and
construction methods the adequacy of the cooling system for this home is not determined specifically by the
inspector, however the typical home requires one (1) ton (12,000 Btu) per 600 square feet. The inspector
observes and reports when rust (oxidation) covers more than 25% of a component of the air conditioning system.
This is done to inform the customer of potential problems, which may be caused by the deterioration. When this
is reported, the customer should consider having an air conditioner specialist review the unit thoroughly. The TD
measurement is the TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL measurement between the input and output air. The
usual range for normal operation is 14 to 22 degrees (F).
Pressure checks of system coolant and system coolant leaks are not checked. The inspector does not check the
electric draw (current) or the system.
COOLING / HEATING DISTRIBUTION (DUCTS, VENT, FLUE)
The uniformity of the supply of conditioned air to the various parts of the structure is not calculated. The types of
insulation material used for wrapping pipes, ducts, jackets and boilers are not determined. The inspector will not
operate venting systems unless ambient temperatures or other circumstances, in the opinion of the inspector are
conducive to safe operation without damage to the equipment. The inspector will not operate equipment outside

The inspector will not operate the cooling system if the outside temperature is less that 60 degrees (F). Window or wall mounted and gas fired units are not inspected. Due to variations in the type of materials and construction methods the adequacy of the cooling system for this home is not determined specifically by the inspector, however the typical home requires one (1) ton (12,000 Btu) per 600 square feet. The inspector observes and reports when rust (oxidation) covers more than 25% of a component of the air conditioning system. This is done to inform the customer of potential problems, which may be caused by the deterioration. When this is reported, the customer should consider having an air conditioner specialist review the unit thoroughly. The TD measurement is the TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL measurement between the input and output air. The usual range for normal operation is 14 to 22 degrees (F). Pressure checks of system coolant and system coolant leaks are not checked. The inspector does not check the electric draw (current) or the system. COOLING / HEATING DISTRIBUTION (DUCTS, VENT, FLUE) The uniformity of the supply of conditioned air to the various parts of the structure is not calculated. The types of insulation material used for wrapping pipes, ducts, jackets and boilers are not determined. The inspector will not operate venting systems unless ambient temperatures or other circumstances, in the opinion of the inspector are conducive to safe operation without damage to the equipment. The inspector will not operate equipment outside its normal operating range as determined by the inspector. The inspector shall inspect central and through-wall cooling equipment, and describe the energy source and the cooling method by its distinguishing characteristics.
