HVAC Inspection in Greenwood

HVAC Inspection in Greenwood, Hennepin County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Greenwood is a Lake Minnetonka shore city on Saint Albans Bay, incorporated in 1956 out of Excelsior Township, and we calibrate every visit to that.

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 Minnesota furnaces.

Tuned to Greenwood.

Greenwood housing runs to lakeshore homes of many decades, from small older cottages and postwar houses to large rebuilt lake homes, on a city of only 0.36 sq. mi. of land, across the shoreline of Saint Albans Bay, the blocks along Highway 7 and the edge shared with Excelsior, on the glacial-drift shore of Lake Minnetonka, on the Saint Albans Bay side, at about 942 feet — and that mix shapes what a hvac inspection here needs to find. Instrument-grade tools, a local eye, every visit.

Local conditions in Greenwood

Greenwood does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Greenwood sits in Hennepin County, in EPA Radon Zone 1, and MDH reports more than two in five Minnesota homes have radon levels that pose a significant health risk. Finished basements concentrate radon, and only a 48-hour test tells you the number. Footings here must reach the 3-1/2-foot depth Minnesota Rules 1303.1600 set for the southern frost zone, and that annual freeze-thaw cycle is what drives the settlement cracks, frost heave and ice-dam wear we calibrate every Greenwood visit to find.

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.
How does living on Lake Minnetonka change what gets inspected at a Greenwood house?
Greenwood covers 1.03 sq. mi., and nearly two-thirds of that is water, so most houses are tied to the shoreline in some way. We look at grading and drainage toward the bay, basement moisture and sump operation, docks and retaining walls that touch the house lot, and older lake cottages that were remodeled and added onto in stages. Those layered additions are where mismatched framing, wiring and roofing turn up. Hennepin County is EPA Radon Zone 1, so a 48-hour test belongs on a basement or walkout-level living space.
