Building the home in which you and your family will live is one of the biggest milestones that anyone will experience in their lives, and it’s definitely an investment that costs a significant amount of money as well as emotional and mental dedication to bring into reality. Compared to just buying a home, building a home from the ground up is a chance to truly turn your house into a home by applying your own personal touches throughout the entire building process and creating a final product that you’ll enjoy living in.
While there are lots of things to worry about when creating a budget that you’ll have to allot for building your dream home, there are a ton of things to consider.
However, while your roof, walls, toilets, sinks, and sockets are definitely items that you’ll have to think about when getting a brief estimate of what you’ll need to shell out, the HVAC system that you’ll use every day in your new home is one that you’ll definitely have to take into account.
The importance of having a good HVAC system
With the right HVAC system at the right price, you’ll be able to have a comfortable amount of warmth and coolness in your home while keeping your bills as low as possible. Although there are many types of cooling and heating systems to choose from on the market, finding the right one entails having to take into consideration the power usage, installation costs, and overall value for money according to your needs.
Calculating the costs of your new home’s HVAC system
In order to find out exactly just how much a new HVAC system in your home will set you back, there are several components that you’ll have to take into account when coming up with the final figure:
● The cost of your furnace
● Your central air conditioning unit,
● The means of transmitting air (such as ductwork or radiators)
● Your thermostat
Other than the “big 4” of your HVAC system, you’ll have to worry about these complementary appliances as well:
● The brand and grade of each and every one of your system’s components
● The size and scope of your new home’s construction
● The certain type of each component in your HVAC system that you’ve chosen
● The difficulty or complexity of your HVAC system’s installation according to the structure of your home
● The need for duct work
● The cost of living in your area
Another way to compute the costs of your HVAC system and its ductwork
If you aren’t up for tallying each and every individual cost that your HVAC system is going to incur, you can use another approach in trying to estimate the full cost: the cost per square foot. Typically, a 1,200 to 2,200 square foot area will cost around 1,000.00 USD to 4,000.00 USD in ductwork, depending on the type of material that you’ll be using. While some construction firms may include your home’s ductwork in the overall package, it’s best to just go with trying to include the HVAC system costing in your overall budgeting to have a bit more of a conservative estimate in your overall budget.
