Heating & Cooling System Inspection

Home Comfort and Safety Starts with Confidence in Your HVAC System

In Québec, we experience it all: freezing winters, humid summers, and everything in between.

That’s why the home’s heating and cooling systems aren’t just about comfort – they’re about safety, performance and long-term value.

At Mose Home Inspection, we understand how critical these systems are. Our inspectors take the time to carefully evaluate the condition, performance, and safety of the HVAC setup to help you avoid breakdowns, and costly surprises.

Inspecting the Heating & Cooling Systems

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment is among the most expensive and essential components of any home. When not properly maintained, these systems waste energy and often fail prematurely — especially in Québec’s demanding climate.

Our inspection focuses on identifying both functional issues and potential safety concerns.

What We Check

Our certified Mose inspector will assess the general condition of the heating and cooling systems, verify proper operation, and check for safety risks. If the furnace or boiler is aging or inefficient, we may recommend replacement based on industry standards.

We also look for signs of improper installation, lack of maintenance, and visible damage that may impact system performance or safety.

Items Checked Include

  • Thermostat location and response
  • Heating and cooling method (forced air, baseboard, central, etc.)
  • General function of system (did the unit heat/cool during inspection?)
  • Loose or exposed wires
  • Unusual sounds (squeaks, grinding, etc.)
  • Proper condensation drainage
  • Rust or corrosion (a sign of poor ventilation or drainage)
  • Odors or potential gas leaks
  • Cracked or discolored air exchangers
  • System cleanliness (free of dust, debris, or insect buildup)

Please note:

We do not perform technical testing or dismantle HVAC systems. The inspection is visual and non-invasive, in line with APCHQ Standard of Practice.

Why This Inspection Matters

An inefficient or unsafe HVAC system doesn’t just affect comfort – it can affect your health, home safety, and monthly energy costs. Whether you’re buying or selling a property, a proper HVAC inspection gives you the knowledge to make informed decisions.

Clear Findings. Actionable Results.

After your inspection, you’ll receive a
detailed digital report that includes:

  1. An overview of the HVAC system
  2. Photos and notes on any issues
  3. Recommendations for repair, cleaning, or professional service
  4. Peace of mind knowing what works – and what doesn’t

Overall good experience from booking the inspection to after the completion of the inspection. Andrew, the inspector, was very nice, respectful, professional, thorough and helpful. He was good at explaining things, and even made himself available after the inspection for any related questions. I am glad I chose Mose.

I had the chance to work with Renaud Lévesque for the inspection of my condo in Montreal. He was extremely professional, kind, and helpful. He went above and beyond to show me how to maintain certain appliances and took the time to explain what his observations meant. I really appreciated it and highly recommend him. Thank you Renaud.

As a first time home-buyer all the steps in the process are new to me. Gerry patiently explained to me what he was checking and his preliminary results as he went. Not only that he gave tips & tricks on certain maintenance tasks I would have had to figure out completely on my own. Top notch service!

Our inspector from Mose, Michael Kallaur was excellent. He inspected 2 homes for us and one of them was a bit of a tricky situation. He went above and beyond to make sure the home was properly inspected, even going back a second time (asap) as a certain area was impassable the first time. Micheal made us feel like we could trust him now and in the future. 10/10 recommend.
