How much does a pre-move-in inspection cost?

Quoted per job based on the number of units and system type. Send us your details and we'll give you a price before booking.

Do I get a written report?

Yes. You get a condition report documenting what we checked, what we found, and any recommended actions. Useful for DLP claims, lease documentation, or your own records.

Can you service the units at the same time as the inspection?

Inspect first, then decide on servicing. Combining them risks masking issues that should be documented before cleaning, especially during the DLP window where developer liability depends on the pre-servicing condition.

How early should I book after key collection?

As early as practical. The DLP clock starts at key collection, not move-in. Booking within the first few months gives you time to report defects and follow up with the developer before the 12-month window closes.

Aircon Pre-Move-In Inspection

A pre-move-in inspection documents the aircon condition before you take possession: every unit tested under load, drainage flow checked, electrical confirmed, and findings written up. It's the right call when you're collecting condo keys (especially inside the DLP window), buying resale, or starting a tenancy and don't want to inherit someone else's maintenance backlog. For current rates, see the pricing page.

Not Sure If This Fits?

What A Move-In Condition Check Covers

An independent test of every unit under load, with a written condition report before key collection or handover. Common situations where a move-in check fits:

New condo within the DLP window
Check early after key collection so defects get reported while the developer's still responsible.
Resale purchase before handover
Know whether the aircon's working, or whether you're inheriting a maintenance backlog.
Tenant move-in
Document baseline condition before the lease starts, so pre-existing faults stay clear later.

When to Start Elsewhere

If you already know what needs doing, skip the report and go straight to the direct service path.

Unit is working fine and just due for a clean
General servicing is the better starting point.
You already know what's wrong and want it fixed
Go straight to the relevant repair path. A condition report won't change a confirmed repair scope.
Property is still in active renovation
Test after dust and ceiling work settles. New contamination otherwise masks the real condition.

What We Check Before Handover

We test every unit under load, not just switch it on during a walkthrough.

Cooling performance
Temperature differential, consistency across rooms, and response time under sustained operation.
Drainage
Condensate flow, drain pan condition, slope, and discharge path.
Airflow
Filter condition, coil state, blower output, and duct integrity for ducted or cassette systems.
Electrical connections
Wiring condition, isolator switch function, and breaker rating against unit load.
Refrigerant indicators
Pressure readings and visible leak indicators where relevant.
Noise and physical condition
Abnormal sounds, corrosion, mounting integrity, insulation state, and visible damage.

From Booking to Written Report

Tell us the number of units, system type, and whether this is DLP, resale, or tenancy. We test each unit, issue the condition findings in writing, and quote follow-up work separately if anything needs action.

What You Get

Documentation, not just a verbal opinion.

Condition documented before handover
Useful for DLP defect claims, resale decisions, or tenancy records.
Faults caught beyond a walkthrough
Cooling, drainage, and refrigerant issues usually only show under sustained operation.
Follow-up work kept separate
If servicing or repair is needed, we quote it separately so the inspection stays independent.
