HVAC Upgrades That Increase Your Home Value

High-efficiency HVAC system

A high-efficiency HVAC system uses less energy to heat and cool your home. The lower utility bills is not the only benefit though. Today’s homebuyers are increasingly concerned about energy efficiency and their carbon footprint; having an energy-efficient HVAC system can make your home more attractive on the market.

Smart thermostat

If you haven’t already installed a smart thermostat, then now is the time. These handy devices are not only convenient but can also save you money and even improve the efficiency of your HVAC system. With a smart thermostat, you can program temperature settings based on your schedule so that you’re not wasting energy when no one is home.

Plus, many smart thermostats allow you to control your home’s temperature remotely via a smartphone app. Imagine being able to turn on the heat while you’re still on your way home from work.

Insulation and duct seals

Even the most efficient HVAC system will be lackluster if your ducts are leaking or poorly insulated. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that up to 30% of heated or cooled air is lost due to leaks in ductwork.

By addressing these leaks and insulating your ducts, you’ll not only save energy but save your HVAC from overworking. You’ll also be opting for better air quality and more consistent heating and cooling.

Zoning systems for custom comfort

Another fantastic upgrade to consider is installing a zoning system. Traditional HVAC systems heat and cool the entire home based on the temperature in just one location. A zoning system divides your home into different “zones” that can be controlled independently.

With zoning, you can customize the temperature in each area of the house. For instance, you can keep the upstairs cooler at night while maintaining a comfortable temperature downstairs during the day. Potential buyers will appreciate the ability to personalize their comfort and may be willing to pay more for a home with this kind of modern, flexible HVAC system.

Air purification systems

Ensure that your home’s air is cleaner and healthier with an air purification system. These systems work by filtering out dust, allergens, pollutants, and even viruses from the air. You won’t need a complete air conditioning unit replacement either. Air purification systems are a relatively easy addition to your existing HVAC setup.

Invest in your comfort, health, and home

Upgrading your HVAC system is not only a matter of comfort; it’s an investment in your health and your home’s long-term value. Even routine HVAC service can make your home appealing to buyers.
