ROI on brand new HVAC

[Andre M.]

I'm wondering if installing a complete new HVAC with ducting and with a gas furnace (plus $600 natural gas hookup fee) can be recouped in the sale/rent price of a home within 20 mi radius of Portland OR. The neighborhood seems like a B class neighborhood. The house has a defunct radiant ceiling heating system. The house is a 1230 sq ft 70s ranch. Are houses w HVAC more desirable for renters and buyers?
