In today's real estate market, homebuyers are increasingly looking for energy-efficient homes with modern HVAC systems. A well-designed and properly installed heat pump can not only save homeowners money on their energy bills but can also increase the value of their home. According to the study published in the journal Nature Energy, homes with a heat pump can increase in value by $12,400 to $20,000.
In more energy-wise progressive areas, such as cities with higher energy efficiency standards or those that incentivize energy-efficient homes, having a heat pump installed can make your home even more desirable to potential buyers. It's worth noting that the actual increase in home value will depend on various factors, such as the local real estate market, the age and condition of the home, and the quality of the heat pump installation.
