Our Honest Inspection Promise: What You Can Expect from King

By King Heating, Cooling & Plumbing | September 9, 2025

When your HVAC system isn’t working quite right—or you’re just trying to plan ahead—it helps to have someone in your corner you can trust. That’s where we come in. At King Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, we take pride in our honest, detailed HVAC inspections. These aren’t just routine checklists or sales pitches in disguise—they’re a real evaluation of what’s best for you, your home, and your budget.

In this article, we’ll take you behind the scenes to show you exactly what goes into our inspections and why our customers trust us to give them the straight story, every time.


What Makes Our Inspections Different?

We know you have options. There are plenty of HVAC companies that offer “free” inspections—but they come with strings attached. Many of them use inspections as a sales tactic to upsell expensive repairs or push you into replacing a system that still has life left in it.

That’s not how we do things at King. Our inspections are designed to be:

  • Thorough: We evaluate your entire system, not just the part that’s causing problems.
  • Honest: We give you the facts without pressure.
  • Customer-centered: We tailor our recommendations to your comfort needs and budget.
  • Educational: We explain what we’re seeing and why it matters—so you can make an informed decision.

“We never tell a customer what to do—we show them what we’ve found and help them understand their options.”
– Tim Willson, Owner, King Heating, Cooling & Plumbing


Inside Our HVAC Inspection Process

Our process is about more than just poking around the equipment. Here’s what we actually do when we inspect your HVAC system:

1. Review of System Age and Brand

We start by gathering basic information about your HVAC system. How old is it? What brand and model is it? When was it last serviced? These details help us understand the likely lifespan of your system and how well it’s held up over time.

2. Full Performance Check

We run your system through its paces:

  • Checking airflow at the registers
  • Measuring temperature differentials (supply vs. return)
  • Listening for strange noises
  • Observing startup and shutdown cycles

This tells us whether your system is performing efficiently and if there are early signs of wear or failing components.

3. Electrical and Mechanical Evaluation

We inspect all major components, including:

  • Compressor (in AC units)
  • Blower motor
  • Evaporator and condenser coils
  • Capacitors and contactors
  • Thermostat function
  • Refrigerant levels (for AC or heat pumps)

We test voltage, amperage, and continuity to ensure everything operates safely and effectively.

4. Ductwork & Airflow Assessment

We check your ducts for:

  • Visible damage or loose connections
  • Leaks that impair efficiency
  • Proper airflow balance
  • Signs of dust buildup, mold, or pests

5. Filter & Indoor Air Quality Check

We inspect the filter and discuss your indoor air quality. Do you need a change, upgrade, UV lights, or a humidifier? We only recommend what fits your needs and goals.

6. Repair History Review

We ask about past issues—especially recurring ones. These can be indicators that your system may be nearing the end of its useful life or in need of professional attention.

7. Budget and Comfort Discussion

We talk through what matters most to you—cost, comfort, energy efficiency, or future plans like selling the home. Your priorities help us tailor the best outcome for your situation.


What You’ll Get from Us After the Inspection

After the inspection, we provide:

  • Plain-language report: What’s working, what’s not, and why it matters.
  • Clear recommendations: Options that range from simple tune‑ups to replacements, aligned with your goals.
  • Upfront pricing: No surprises—just honest estimates based on your priorities.

If your system still has life left, we’ll say so. If it’s time to replace it, we’ll explain why—and help make the upgrade smooth and affordable.

“We treat your home like it’s our own. If we wouldn’t do it in our house, we won’t recommend it in yours.”
– Luke Willson, Service Manager
