As you think about moving, we can help you make your home more marketable by seeing to it that all of your home’s comfort equipment is in peak condition.
You can add thousands of dollars to the value of your home by replacing old outdated equipment. If your heating equipment is more than 20 years old, you might think about installing a new high-efficiency system. A new heating system can lower energy consumption—and fuel costs—up to 30% a year.
Likewise, replacing an outdated a/c system can increase your home’s market value. Today’s reliable energy-efficient systems can sharply lower air conditioning costs.
Maintain your equipment
If your heating/cooling equipment doesn’t need to be replaced, it’s a good idea to have it tuned up. Regular tune-ups can restore heating and cooling systems to factory-fresh condition—which significantly lowers energy costs. More important, annual equipment service can catch and correct small problems before they become more serious and expensive to fix—and can detract from your home’s value. |
