HVAC Inspection in Mounds View

HVAC Inspection in Mounds View, Ramsey County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Mounds View is a postwar suburb of ramblers and splits between the freeways.

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.

Local housing

Homes in Mounds View.

Mounds View housing runs to 1960s-70s ramblers and split-levels, across the postwar neighborhoods between the freeways, on flat glacial till — and that mix shapes what a hvac inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Mounds View

Mounds View does not run a point-of-sale housing ordinance, which makes an independent inspection the only thorough, buyer-side read on the home. Mounds View sits in Ramsey 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 that Mounds View-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.
How old is the sewer line under a typical Mounds View rambler?
Most of the city's housing dates from the postwar decades, so the service line under a 1960s or 1970s house is often original unless someone replaced it. A visual inspection cannot see inside a buried pipe, so the era of the home, clues like slow drains and basement floor drain behavior are worth noting, and a camera scope from a sewer specialist is recommended when the signs or the age call for it. Tree roots and older pipe materials are the usual findings.
Are split-levels a particular concern in Mounds View?
They are. The lower level sits partly below grade, so grading, window wells and any finished space that could be hiding past water deserve close attention. Split-level additions and converted lower levels also tend to reveal permit and headroom issues.
