Before You Buy: Contractor-Level Insights That Could Save You
Get Your Contractor Secrets
Before you buy a home, get my contractor turned realtor insights to spot hidden issues, avoid costly repairs, and make a smarter, more confident purchase.
The “Serial Number” HVAC Truth
A seller might tell you the AC “works great,” but “working” and “living” are two different things.
• The Secret: Don’t look at how clean the unit is; look at the manufacturer’s plate. The first four digits of the serial number usually contain the week and year of manufacture (e.g., “1212” usually means the 12th week of 2012).
• The Pro Move: If the unit is 12+ years old, you are looking at a $7,000–$10,000 replacement cost within the next 24 months.
