What Qualifies as an “Old” HVAC System?

In Richmond VA, a typical HVAC system lasts 10 to 15 years. If your system:

• Struggles to heat or cool efficiently
• Makes loud noises
• Requires constant servicing
• Uses outdated Freon (R-22)
• Has poor energy efficiency

…it may be considered “end of life” by inspectors or appraisers.

This can become a problem when selling your house the traditional way.

How an Old HVAC System Can Impact a Home Sale

If you sell with a real estate agent, the buyer’s lender will usually require an inspection. A failing or aging HVAC system could:

• Lower your appraisal value
• Trigger a repair addendum
• Lead to contract cancellations
• Cause loan approval issues for FHA buyers
• Result in requests for credits or replacements

And replacing an HVAC system in Richmond can cost between $6,000 and $15,000 or more depending on square footage and ductwork needs.

Do You Have to Replace the HVAC System to Sell?

Nope. Many Richmond homeowners skip the stress entirely by selling their house as-is. Here’s why it makes sense:

1. Avoid Upfront Repair Costs

Why spend thousands when you’re ready to move? Skip the hassle and let us deal with the HVAC issue.

2. Sell Without Delays

Don’t wait weeks for contractors or permits. We buy houses fast, with no inspections or contingencies.

3. Attract Cash Buyers Who Don’t Care About HVAC Age

We buy houses in all conditions even if the HVAC is dead. That includes homes in Church Hill, Manchester, and Midlothian.

What About Disclosing HVAC Problems?

In Virginia, sellers must disclose known issues with major systems. That includes:

• Age and condition of the HVAC
• History of repairs or failures
• Whether it works at all

We’ll still buy it, no problem. You’ll get a fair cash offer no obligations, no pressure.
