Why Have a New Furnace Installation Done Before You Sell Your Home?

Posted on

Are you thinking of putting your home on the market? If so, you might want to think about having a new furnace installation done if your furnace is an older one. Even if it works, it might become a selling detractor if it's older and potential buyers are afraid of purchasing a home with appliances they might have to fix or replace soon after.

What should you do, then? If you want to sell your home for the most amount of money, the best thing you can do is consider having a new furnace installation done. What you spend on the install you can mainly recoup in the sale of your home. Here are reasons why you should have a furnace installation done before you sell your home.

1. You attract more buyer interest

Since a furnace is one of the most-used appliances in the home, it's one of the first things buyers may look at when they're thinking about making a purchase. Having a newer furnace installation done on the property can make the difference between having your home sit on the market for a long time and actively selling your home fast. Your new furnace can be appealing to potential buyers, particularly those who are interested in energy-efficient homes.

Speak to your furnace installation specialist about what having a new furnace installed will cost. This can help you price your home accordingly after you have the furnace put in.

2. You make the rest of your appliances stand out favorably

If your furnace is the oldest appliance in your home and you upgrade it, you automatically help the rest of your appliances maintain their new appeal by default. The more upgraded your home's appliances are, the more buyer appeal you can have in general, so if your older, energy-sucking furnace is making the rest of your newer appliances look bad, replace it. You'd be surprised how quickly your buyer interest can go up just from making this small upgrade.

Speak to your real estate agent about the appeal of having a new furnace installation done. Your realtor can help you decide which other upgrades in the home are also necessary in addition to any furnace installation needs.

If you're going to put your home on the market, any upgrades to your furnace can be a real benefit to getting your home sold fast. Have your HVAC specialist check your furnace and your air conditioning units to ensure they are working well before putting your home on the market.
