HVAC vs Radiator and AC Window Units

[Gabriel De Almeida]

This one is for those who fix and flip homes in Massachusetts or states that closely resemble MA in terms of temperature/climate.

When fixing a property that has radiator heating and AC window units, do you guys always budget for a brad new HVAC system to be put in place? Thanks! :)

Generally, yes. It would seem pretty half *** if you renovate the whole building and skip the HVAC. You also have to build to the market. Do most other newly renovated homes in the area have newer HVAC? If not, maybe you skip it, or maybe you do it to stand out from the others.

Depending on the market/pricing we will do high velocity for higher end homes (over $1.5 M), traditional HVAC systems for medium priced builds and split systems if it makes more sense economically for the build out.  Depending on how big the house/condo is, split systems can be a good route as it allows for you to skip the duct work.
