Learn More About Cooling Systems
In warm climates, cooling can drive a significant share of a home's summer energy costs, and it shapes how comfortable a home feels on a showing. That makes it a detail worth verifying rather than assuming from a vague listing field.
Every Pearl SCORE™ Report includes guidance on cooling systems:
- How to identify the type and how much of the home it covers
- Why it matters to a buyer, from comfort to humidity control
- How long it typically lasts, and how to gauge remaining life
- What to confirm when listing and what verify when supporting your buyers
The Report focuses on the most common cooling configurations. It does not document every type. When a home has a less common setup, such as a mini-split or a combined heating and cooling system, you may need more than the Report provides.
