Home buyers typically don’t want to make repairs to their new home’s heating or cooling system. That means sellers should make sure all of the home’s heating and cooling units work properly, are fully charged and have clean filters. It’s best to make any repairs before you put your home on the market, so you won’t have to delay closing the sale while you wait for those repairs to be completed.

Heating and cooling units can be good selling points because they’re among the most expensive components of a home. These 5 tips will help you make sure your heating and cooling systems are home seller-ready.

• Put away any portable heating or cooling appliances while your home is being shown to buyers. Any kind of portable appliance that helps to heat or cool a room indicates to buyers that the home’s primary heating or cooling units may be insufficient.
• Medical equipment, dehumidifiers and ionizers also should be kept out of sight.
• If there is mold in your house, there may be a problem with humidity if some of the windows aren't sealed properly.
• Clean ceiling fan blades and turn on fans at a moderate speed while your house is being shown, so buyers will be able to see that the fans work properly.
• Always set the temperature at a comfortable level, according to the weather.
