The HVAC Checklist When Selling Your Home

In order to truly get your home ready to be sold, the team at Romano Brothers put together this HVAC checklist. We know that selling your home can be stressful, and our team will work with you to

Your HVAC Unit Is Old

If your HVAC system is more than 10 years old, you should think of replacing it before you put your home on the market. While this is a major expense it can still be worth doing and can lead to your home being sold faster. You won't recoup all the money you spent by replacing the system but if it helps your home sell it can be worth the expense.

Another thing to consider about the cost of replacing your heating or air conditioning unit is that you might be able to take advantage of federal tax breaks and utility credits which bring down the cost. If you have an HVAC professional replace the units well before you move you even get to enjoy the benefits of the new units yourself before moving.

Savvy Homebuyers

People looking at buying homes are much smarter with their money than years gone past. They look not just at what the mortgage will cost but the other expenses of owning a home. Heating and cooling a home count for a big percentage of a home's energy costs. New air conditioning and heating units are far more efficient than older ones so buyers know that their energy bills will be pretty reasonable compared to buying a house with older units.

People Want Smart Appliances

Many people nowadays, especially millennials, want their homes to be smarter. With the latest advancements in technology, heating and air conditioning units can also be smarter and easier to use. When you install a new system, consider upgrading to a smart thermostat, which you can control from anywhere using an app on your phone, tablet, or computer. This makes a home stand out from others on the market.

By replacing your air conditioning and/or heating units you can make your home more appealing, get it sold faster, and avoid complications during the closing process. It makes good sense to call an HVAC professional and determine if replacing either or both of these units makes sense for your home.
