Why HVAC & Heating System Inspections Matter

Your HVAC system is one of the most critical (and expensive) mechanical systems in your property — yet it’s often ignored until something goes wrong. With routine inspections, you can:

• Prevent surprise breakdowns
• Identify safety issues (gas leaks, CO risk, overheating)
• Reduce energy bills through efficiency adjustments
• Catch small problems before they become expensive repairs
• Improve indoor air quality (IAQ)
• Validate system condition before a home sale or purchase
• Protect your family’s comfort during BC’s cold and hot seasons
• Keep your manufacturer warranty valid with documentation

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About HVAC & Heating System Inspections in New Westminster

Boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners all require regular inspection to stay safe, efficient, and compliant with BC regulations. Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or real estate buyer in New Westminster, this FAQ section will help you understand everything you need to know about HVAC inspections — from system safety and maintenance to rebates and real estate.

✅ GENERAL HVAC INSPECTION QUESTIONS

• What is an HVAC inspection?
An HVAC inspection is a professional evaluation of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system to check for safety, efficiency, wear, and code compliance.

• Why are HVAC inspections important in New Westminster homes?
Due to BC’s damp climate, neglected HVAC systems often suffer from corrosion, mold buildup, and wear. Regular inspections prevent breakdowns and improve indoor air quality.

• How often should I have my HVAC system inspected?
Most manufacturers recommend annual inspections. For homes with older equipment or frequent use, twice a year (pre-winter and pre-summer) is ideal.

• Do I need an inspection if my HVAC system is working fine?
Yes. Inspections catch hidden issues before they turn into major repairs and help extend the lifespan of your system.

• What does ROMA Heating check during an HVAC inspection?
We follow a 60+ point checklist including system efficiency, gas safety, airflow, electrical components, heat exchangers, refrigerant levels, and more.

• Is an HVAC inspection the same as a tune-up?
No. An inspection identifies issues; a tune-up involves cleaning and adjustments. ROMA offers both separately or as a combo package.

• How long does an HVAC inspection take?
A standard inspection takes 60–90 minutes. Larger homes or complex systems may take longer.

• How much does an HVAC inspection cost in New Westminster?
ROMA offers flat-rate inspections starting at $149, with bundled discounts for additional systems or multi-unit buildings.

• Is it worth getting an HVAC inspection before winter?
Absolutely. Winter is when heating systems are under the most stress. A fall inspection ensures your furnace or boiler is ready.

• Do you provide HVAC inspections for condos in New Westminster?
Yes, we inspect in-suite HVAC systems including ductless heat pumps, electric furnaces, and fan coils for strata units.

✅ FURNACE & HEATING SYSTEM INSPECTION

• What’s included in a furnace inspection?
We check the heat exchanger, burners, flame sensor, ignition system, blower motor, gas pressure, CO levels, and safety controls.

• Do you inspect both gas and electric furnaces?
Yes, our certified technicians are trained in all furnace types, including high-efficiency condensing models and electric resistance furnaces.

• Can ROMA inspect older furnaces (15+ years)?
Yes. In fact, older furnaces should be inspected more often due to higher failure risk and safety concerns like cracked heat exchangers.

• Do furnace inspections include CO testing?
Yes. We test for carbon monoxide at vents and in living spaces to ensure your furnace is not leaking dangerous gases.

• Is a furnace inspection required for FortisBC rebates?
If upgrading or applying for certain rebates, an inspection may be needed to document the existing system’s type and condition.

• How can I tell if my furnace needs an inspection?
Warning signs include strange smells, uneven heating, increased gas bills, and frequent on/off cycling.

• Do you provide inspection reports for insurance or warranty purposes?
Yes. We provide detailed reports with findings, photos, and technician notes, suitable for warranties and insurance documentation.

• What if my furnace fails inspection?
We’ll provide a written quote with options for repair or replacement. There’s no pressure to proceed — just expert advice.

• Is it safe to inspect my own furnace?
No. Gas lines, high voltages, and combustion components make HVAC systems dangerous to handle without proper training.

• Do furnace inspections include airflow checks?
Yes, we measure airflow across the return and supply ducts to ensure proper heat distribution.

✅ BOILER & HYDRONIC SYSTEM INSPECTION

• Do you inspect residential boilers in New Westminster?
Yes, we inspect gas boilers, combi units, radiant heating systems, and tankless boilers across all New West neighborhoods.

• What’s included in a boiler inspection?
We check the burner, flame sensor, expansion tank, pressure relief valve, circulator pump, pressure gauge, and zone valves.

• Can you inspect radiant floor heating systems?
Yes, ROMA inspects glycol loops, floor manifolds, pumps, and thermostatic mixing valves in radiant floor systems.

• Do you perform pressure testing during boiler inspections?
Yes. We check system pressure and expansion tank balance to prevent overpressure and leaks.

• What brands of boilers do you inspect?
We inspect Viessmann, Navien, IBC, NTI, Bosch, Buderus, Weil-McLain, Triangle Tube, and others.

• How do I know if my boiler needs inspection?
If you notice temperature swings, loud banging, low pressure, or cold floors, book an inspection right away.

• Do boiler inspections include water quality testing?
Yes, we test for corrosion, scale, and glycol concentration to ensure long-term system health.

• Do you inspect indirect hot water tanks connected to boilers?
Yes. We inspect the heat exchanger coil, temperature sensors, and water flow to the indirect tank.

• Are hydronic inspections included in standard HVAC checks?
Hydronic systems require specialized testing. ROMA offers hydronic inspection as part of our expanded service.

• Can you flush and test a hydronic loop during inspection?
Yes, we offer system flushing and glycol testing during the inspection for radiant floor systems.

✅ AIR CONDITIONING & COOLING INSPECTIONS

• Do you inspect central air conditioning systems?
Yes, ROMA inspects AC units, evaporator coils, condensers, refrigerant lines, and thermostat controls.

• What’s included in a cooling system inspection?
We check refrigerant pressures, capacitor health, fan operation, drain line blockages, and airflow temperatures.

• Do you inspect ductless mini-split systems?
Yes, we inspect indoor and outdoor components of ductless systems from Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, and LG.

• Can you inspect a heat pump in cooling mode?
Yes, during warm weather we inspect heat pumps in cooling mode; in winter we assess their heating performance.

• Do you inspect AC systems for new home buyers?
Yes. AC inspections are crucial during home purchases — we ensure the system is safe and in good condition.

• How often should my air conditioner be inspected?
At least once a year, preferably before summer. This helps avoid mid-season breakdowns.

• What’s a common issue found during AC inspections?
Dirty coils, low refrigerant, and failing capacitors are among the most common AC faults we detect.

• Can low refrigerant be detected during inspection?
Yes. We use gauges to check pressure and may recommend leak testing if low levels are found.

• Do AC inspections include airflow testing?
Yes, we check for duct restrictions and ensure balanced airflow throughout the home.

• Can I get an AC inspection in winter?
Cooling inspections are limited in cold temperatures. We recommend booking during spring or summer for best results.
