HVAC Inspection in Perry

HVAC Inspection in Perry, Dallas County, by Closer Look Inspectors. Perry is a railroad city of Victorian and early-1900s homes northwest of the metro.

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 Perry.

Perry housing runs to Victorian and early-1900s railroad-era neighborhoods, across the historic core and the postwar edges, on lobe till near the Raccoon River valley — and that mix shapes what a hvac inspection here needs to find.

Local conditions in Perry

Perry 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. Perry sits in Dallas 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 Perry-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.
What comes up most in Perry homes?
Age. Perry built out in its railroad decades, so original services, knob-and-tube remnants, aging sewer laterals worth scoping and foundations at the century mark lead the findings. We date every major system precisely so you know what is actually near end of life rather than merely old.
