Homeowners looking to sell want to get the best possible return on their investment. However, that is unlikely to happen if buyers find themselves sweltering when they come in for a house showing due to a faulty air conditioner. If you have a newer model unit, HVAC repairs should be able to rectify any issues; however, if the system is old, upgrading it could be worthwhile for the reasons explained below.

Why Get an HVAC Replacement Before Selling?

1. Encourage Buyers to Linger 

If you’re going to list your home during the full heat of a Nevada summer, making sure the inside is cool can prompt visitors to stay a while and really take in the beauty of the property. A new HVAC will also make less noise and do a better job at removing particulates and allergens from the air for a—perhaps subconscious—but more enjoyable experience.

2. Promote Its Energy Efficiency

Additionally, if you upgrade the HVAC before advertising your property, you can use it as a selling point. Not only are buyers more environmentally conscious than ever, but they will also appreciate that this new energy-efficient appliance will save them money on their utility bills and HVAC repairs. They might be willing to pay more for the property, knowing they will enjoy month-over-month savings.

3. Facilitate a Smoother Home Inspection

Most homeowners who put their house on the market hope that it will sell as soon as possible. However, even if you received an offer quickly, it is most likely contingent on the results of a home inspection. If you know that your system is older—or is constantly in need of HVAC repairs—then it is worthwhile to upgrade it before the inspector comes to point it out, since it might cause the buyer to second-guess their purchase or to delay finalizing it until the unit is updated.
