HVAC Inspection in Churdan

HVAC Inspection in Churdan, Greene County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Churdan is an 1882 railroad town on Iowa 4 in northern Greene County.

An HVAC inspection — a furnace inspection and air-conditioner check in one visit — covers a home's furnace, air conditioner, ductwork and controls for age, condition and safety — including the cracked heat exchangers that show up in aging Iowa furnaces.

Local housing

Homes in Churdan.

Churdan housing runs to early-1900s homes from the town's 1920 peak of more than 750 people and postwar ranches along Iowa 4, across the grid where Iowa 4 turns through town and the acreages beyond, on flat Des Moines Lobe till in northern Greene County — and that mix shapes what a hvac inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Churdan

Churdan sits on Des Moines Lobe till — heavy, poorly drained clay that holds water against foundations and moves with moisture, which is what drives basement seepage and foundation cracking across central Iowa. Churdan sits in Greene County, and every Iowa county is EPA Radon Zone 1. Iowa HHS reports Iowa has the largest percentage of homes above the 4.0 pCi/L action level of any state — 71.6 percent in the Iowa Radon Survey — and the Iowa seller disclosure form asks for any known radon test results. Finished basements concentrate it, and only a 48-hour test gives you this home's number. Iowa leaves frost depth to the local building code rather than one statewide number, and the annual freeze-thaw cycle drives the settlement cracks and ice-dam wear that Churdan-area homes face.

Questions

Common questions.

Will you run the furnace and AC?
Yes, when conditions allow. We do not run air conditioning in freezing weather, and we note when that limits the test.
When is a furnace too old?
Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years. We report the unit's age, condition and any safety concern, including heat-exchanger cracks.
Do older Churdan homes need a sewer scope?
Most of them. Churdan was platted in 1882 and had more than 750 people by 1920, so the original streets run clay laterals under a century of tree roots; a camera scope is the only way to see roots, bellies and breaks before closing. The rest of the read dates services and foundations and checks grading and the sump on slow-draining till. Greene County is Radon Zone 1.
