Selling a home involves numerous steps to increase the property’s appeal and fetch the best possible price. One critical task is ensuring your HVAC system is in top-notch condition, which can be done through an HVAC inspection before listing your home. Continue reading to learn more about the importance of this step before selling your property.
The standard home inspection usually doesn’t fully assess HVAC systems. It only checks if the system turns on, missing important details about efficiency, potential repairs, and worn-out HVAC filter products. Considering the significant cost of heating and air conditioning systems, a separate, detailed HVAC inspection is essential.
According to ENERGY STAR®, half of a typical U.S. home’s annual energy bill goes to heating and cooling. An inefficient HVAC system can lead to higher utility bills, deterring potential buyers. Getting your system inspected and fixed ensures the home’s efficiency, making it an appealing choice to potential buyers.
HVAC companies like Cafco Services understand that knowledge is power in real estate negotiations. Doing a thorough HVAC inspection beforehand allows you to fix any issues, helping strengthen your negotiation stance. This potentially prevents last-minute price reductions or buyer requests for repairs.
A comprehensive HVAC inspection will include checks and tests to confirm the system’s efficiency. Expect a detailed examination of heating and cooling components, the cleaning of essential parts, and the checking of refrigerant levels and all electrical connections. Technicians might also suggest repairs or replacements to ensure your system’s top performance.
Modern buyers appreciate homes that are move-in ready, and an HVAC system in top condition is a significant part of that appeal. Offering buyers a maintenance report or even a transferable maintenance plan can enhance the attractiveness of your home.
Ductwork plays a crucial role in the efficiency and overall performance of your HVAC system. Ensuring that your home’s ductwork is inspected and cleaned removes potential concerns about air quality, energy efficiency, and system longevity.
