How to Double the Market Value of Your Property

Are you one of those people who are against home renovation projects because you think it’s a costly and unnecessary expense? Be prepared to do a complete 360 because this article is going to do its best to convince you to invest in valuable renovation projects that will instantly double or perhaps even triple your property’s market value. The key here is to upgrade your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system.

Why Do I Need to Upgrade my HVAC?  

The best reason to invest in a better HVAC system for your home is not even about market value, but about saving on utility bills. When your system runs more efficiently, energy-wise, you will be amazed at how many pounds you can save in the long term. The bonus is that you don’t have to deal with maintenance issues and repair fees. On the other hand, an outdated HVAC can run you up to 5 times the energy consumption, which guarantees that your electrical bills will soar sky-high.  

Let’s take for example your home’s heating system. Simply upgrading to a ducted heat pump automatically quadruples your home’s energy efficiency. Save up to 400% in energy consumption and just watch the pounds reduce from your monthly utilities. 

How Do I Upgrade My Heating/Air Conditioning? 

The practical investment for any homeowner or property owner in Swindon is to upgrade your heating system. First, if it’s a choice between ductless or ducted heat pump, choose the latter. A ducted heat pump essentially pushes conditioned air through air vents and ducts in your home. It’s not responsible for the heat in your home but circulates it.  Similarly, ductless heat pumps operate like a split system, which means you can choose specific rooms or spaces for heating/cooling and not necessarily the entire home. The drawback to the ductless heat pump is that the air handler unit is visible and not usually aesthetically pleasing.  

Second, make sure to repair or renovate the ductwork in your home before the installation of your ductless heat pump. Though it seems like an added cost, an efficient heat pump can last for around 15 years, of course with the right maintenance and upkeep.  

Third, airflow is really important when you’re in the process of upgrading your HVAC. Check with your property’s engineer and make sure that all rooms in your house are well-sealed and retrofitted for insulation. One of the more common mistakes of homeowners is only looking at their heating systems and not the rooms that they’re heating. Keep in mind that air sealing is also a direct way of ensuring that your heat pump distributes air that much more efficiently.  

Finally… 

Your dream home in Swindon is definitely your investment. Whether it’s the retirement home you’ve always dreamed of or your stepping stone towards owning a better real estate property, it’s time to look at home renovation investments. We call them investments because the return is simply incalculable.
