Heat Pump Installation
A heat pump adds $5,000-15,000 to home resale value in Vancouver — roughly 50-80% of the installation cost. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling (important for summer heat waves), reduce carbon emissions (attractive to eco-conscious buyers), and modernize the home mechanical system.
High-Efficiency Furnace Replacement
Replacing an old furnace with a new 95%+ AFUE model recovers 60-80% of the cost in increased home value. Home inspectors note the furnace age and efficiency on reports. A newer high-efficiency furnace is a selling point, especially compared to older 80% models.
Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat is a low-cost upgrade ($250-700) that adds noticeable value and appeal. It signals a well-maintained, modern home. Buyers appreciate the energy savings and convenience of remote control. Smart thermostats are one of the highest ROI HVAC upgrades.
