check Freon levels. At the time this inspection was completed on 7/7/16, the AC unit was working. An inspector is not able to determine the life span of any unit and this is noted in the Limitations of the report (please see attachment). The home inspection was $275. The well/septic inspection was completed by a separate third-party well/septic company for $325. Big River Home Inspections does not sell Home Warranties. Each home inspection is provided with a 90 day warranty at no additional cost to the client. Any and all warranties are subject to a deductible per claim.  It is in place to help cover the costs of something failing within the first 90 days after the inspection, since an inspection is a visual examination of the property on the day of the inspection. We are not able to determine the future of the home. With talking with the 1 year Home Warranty company that the buyer had purchase with, they have a claim started regarding the AC unit but is still awaiting for the needed documentation for the claim.
