The guy I use has a truck mounted cleaner that heats up to 130+ degrees.

It also matters how the heat is paid: separate utilities, partially separate, or landlord paid.

However, the 1,500 SQ FT home will naturally use the furnace less aggressively as there is less to heat.

Usually the most effective treatment that will kill them and their eggs is heat...then the question is what can you and can't you heat treat.

I would agree with J's assessment and pay close attention to the items he showed that you missed - demo, finish carpentry, rough plumbing/ electrical, etc.The other thing to make sure of is the major items - HVAC, roof, electrical panel, foundation, etc. loos like you are wanting to do a new HVAC system so J was correct that your entire combo price for heat and cool would be around $4k which you estimated higher.Time to get that offer in!

Hi Brian,Not an appraiser but generally they are looking at heated and cooled livable space.
