More details to this question:
You Hi. I bought a house a in august and so far I have had to replace my entire HVAC system, a leaking oil tank, my whole house generator caught on fire when we started it up. My Viking built in refrigerator just died. So far I’ve accrued around 12k in repairs. The hvac tech said the owner had to have known the whole system was dead. He had ducts closed off that made no sense. Plus it all had to be replaced as soon as we moved in. We had an inspection and the inspector said since the weather was mild he couldn’t get an accurate reading but that everything seemed fine. I have a lot more info I just can’t type it all out. I’m exhausted by this whole process.

The general rule of thumb is "buyer beware". This is why it is important to obtain a inspection from a reputable company. The seller is only responsible for covering something up that you could not find out about, or fraud. The other recourse is against your inspector. They should have told you that there was certain testing that they could not perform.
