seasoned flippers call for help on heating and cooling
I am working on a flip, where the numbers are a little tight, and I will do a really great job to be able to list at the top of what the area will let me.
I need to provide the house with new heating and cooling.
What would you do? HVAC system? or a hot water system with cool modern radiators and a split unit for AC.
this last one is easier for construction with less demolition, but I am not sure how it comes in cost and buyers perception.
Any other options in between?
Anyone who has been deciding on this issues?

How bad is the current system? I'm not sure what a radiator and split unit for AC looks like but it sounds pricey or like an out dated system. I'd go with a conventional unit (96%+ efficiency) unless you're flipping in a B+/A class neighborhood.
Another tactic: I know an investor who listed a property last fall. The sales agreement stated "Owner to install new HVAC with a full asking price offer". He sold the property at full price in 3 days.
