In today’s wild real estate market, it still pays off to find smart ways to increase your home’s resale value.
While not as exciting as a chef’s kitchen or inground pool, investing in a new HVAC system is still one of the best ways to get big dividends when you sell your home.
Find out how upgrading your HVAC system puts money in your pocket.
Present and Future Benefits
Investing in a new HVAC system pays off both now and down the road for a future sale.
For now, a new HVAC system will keep your home comfortable no matter what the weather. At the same time, the highly energy efficient models available today will make you feel good about being environmentally conscious. An energy-saving HVAC system puts extra money in your pocket each month by paying less for energy bills.
All of these benefits will be highly attractive selling features to a future potential buyer.
Better Air Quality
A new HVAC system offers the very important feature of improved air quality, especially if new ductwork and/or an air purifier is installed.
Potential buyers with allergies, asthma, or other health issues will notice and appreciate the higher quality air circulating throughout the home.
Increased Market Value
A new HVAC is an expensive investment. When spending the money on a new heating and cooling system, potential buyers will fully appreciate how much it costs to replace an HVAC system. When crunching the numbers on how much it will save them over the next few years, it becomes a very enticing bonus.
According to findings from case studies funded by Energy Upgrade California and the Green Label Rebate Program, upgraded, energy efficient homes sell for an average of 9% higher than those with less energy efficient options.
Keeping maintenance and service records also shows potential buyers that the system has been well maintained and serviced regularly.
A home appraiser will take special note of your well-maintained investment and reflect it in the market value of your home.

While a brand-new HVAC system is a significant investment, be assured that it is money well spent upon the sale of your home.
