She had an A/C guy over there yesterday evening. The A/C is old, but the heater doesn't work at all. The guy put a smoke bomb type thing in the system and turned it on. Smoke filled the house. She said he told her that would be carbon monoxide if the heater was working or something. That's kind of a big deal imo and I told her to tell them that needs to be fixed or give her allowance so she can get it fixed.
She isn't buying this house at some rock bottom, bargain basement price. They are actually getting a very good price per sq ft compared to comps, so I don't think death by carbon monoxide was taken into account when they listed.

Since your friend is armed with a HVAC inspection, she should go to the seller and offer a reasonable price with the condition that a new central a/c and heating unit be installed. If not, no deal.
