Before putting your home on the market, it’s always useful to make some upgrades. Although focusing on the kitchens and bathrooms is usually a smart move, don’t forget about the HVAC system, as it'll be a strong selling point. If you're wondering how your property can benefit from such an investment, learn more below.

How New HVAC Systems Help Property Values

Prospective buyers are often looking for more energy-efficient homes, and newer systems are likely to stand out from the competition. Not only will a modern HVAC help the buyer lower their monthly utility bills, but it also means they won't have to have it repaired or replaced any time soon. New equipment is also guaranteed to pass a home inspection, so you won't have to worry about price negotiations on this particular aspect.

How to Choose an HVAC System

hvacSince you'll be selling your home, it's important to pick something that gives you the most return on investment (ROI). Although you'll have a greater ROI if you're living in the house for an extended period since HVAC systems are designed to last about 15 to 20 years, you can still get up 50% back from your investment.

To reach that number, choose systems with an Energy Star® rating, which means they meet specific government energy efficiency standards. Also, look for rebates and incentives offered by your state or local utility companies through the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency®. This makes it easy to check what's available in your area to recoup your investment even before you sell.
