A: It would appear that you have no recourse as against the inspector since the inspector seemingly advised you of the problem and knowing of the problem, you had the option of asking that money be held in escrow from the seller's proceeds until the weather allowed for the A/C to be tested, and since you apparently did not do so, then you closed title taking on the risk of it not working properly.
