Converting To Central Heat And Air = Cost?
I bought a 1600sf Cape that has window A/C units and electric baseboard heaters. I want to convert to central heat and air, but am getting estimates all across the board. Does anyone have any insights into an "average" conversion cost? There is currently no ductwork but the structure allows for fairly easy running. The electric panel is adequate to handle the new load. The handler will be placed in the attic. (No basement) Any insights would be appreciated. Also, do you think this upgrade is even necessary? Thanks.
Take a look at the comps in your area. What is the difference in price between identical houses (one with air and one without).
Take a look at the houses in your area. Do most of them have air? Is it expected that a house have air in your area?
See if the ROI is worth it.
If you act now, you should have time to get sod down and plant some shrubs/trees in time for them to take before the freeze.
Thanks all of you,
However, I am kind of wondering about the grass, it does not look good at all.
Any suggestions
If they are subterreanian and you treat the house, they will not return. So it is your call - or a structural engineers call - if the damage is structural and needs to be replaced or can it just be covered. Not all termite damage means that you have to tear out every board. After the treatement, they will no come back into the house. Go ahead and get a bond, you will need it to sell the house because you will have to disclose that you had termites, had it professional treated and fixed any significant damage.
