Certain home upgrades or renovations are no-brainers. Think a new first-floor laundry closet or additional bathroom will boost your property value? You’re probably correct. Yet many homeowners struggle with adding certain features that some consider luxuries, such as air conditioning. While there are factors that every household should consider before investing, an HVAC system in Southern California is a home feature that will recoup its financial cost quickly, provide added comfort, and allow your home to appreciate in value over time.
Quickly Recovered Cost
The initial investment may seem sizeable, but if you’ve been running multiple fans and single-room units, it may actually be more efficient to install an AC system. Those alternatives require a ton of electricity, while a newer HVAC system that is Energy Star approved will likely make a smaller dent in your utility bill. Additionally, there are many rebates you can qualify for should you choose an energy-efficient system, making it even easier to recover your investment.
Added Comfort
In addition to the capacity to recoup their initial cost, HVAC systems provide an obvious bonus of comfort for homeowners living in a warm climate. Instead of hunkering down in your basement (if you’re lucky enough to have one), or braving the crowds at the beach or local pool, you can enjoy relaxing at home without the stickiness or squabbles of a too-hot household.
Appreciation of Property
Because HVAC is a feature most native Southern Californians are accustomed to, it has become a standard on the wish list of standard homebuyers. What was once a luxury is now a necessity, and the added value of HVAC systems is undeniable. Furthermore, as more innovations roll out that make HVAC increasingly efficient and inexpensive to run, their utility surpasses their operation costs, adding appreciation and value to your home.
