Heating & Air Conditioning Repair vs. Replacement:

Your air conditioning and heating system can be one of the most expensive purchases you make in your home. There are many factors to consider when determining whether or not you should repair an old unit or replace it, such as the age of the unit, overall investment costs, from initial purchase price to long term operating costs, and utility rates. To help determine whether or not you should keep your existing system, we've created an interactive Repair vs. Replacement Calculator.

Simply fill in the text field below with a number, and click your "tab" key. More text and text fields will appear. Whenever you see the "tab" note, click your tab key to continue the calculation.

What is the Cost of Keeping Your Existing System?

 

 

Some homeowners may feel "if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it." Here are some often-overlooked considerations. Sometimes you put multiple repairs into a system that is on its last legs. As of January 2006, new air conditioner efficiency standards came into effect. Most systems installed before this date cost up to 20% or more to operate than today’s base efficiency models.

If you agree that SOONER or LATER you will have to replace your air conditioning or heating system, what is the longest you think it would be?

A Trusted Regina Financial Experts share tip on why you should not do RRSP's

 Trusted Regina’s Financial experts share their tip on Do not do RRSP's:

 

 

What are your other choices?

RRSPs are not always the right thing to do. Sure they have benefits, you can Google RRSP’s and find 1000’s of articles on why you should be using them, but what are your other options?

Everyone’s situation is different for an unbiased perspective on your unique situation look up at fee-only financial planner. Hint hint that’s what we do

I am going to make some broad statements here that will have exceptions but generally this is the case. If you are in debt, young, lower income, have TFSA room, have maxed out your RRSPs, or are self employed then RRSPs are should not be your first choice in your grand plan of financial action.

So what are your other options?

Pay down your mortgage…yuck, I know but it has some merit. Mainly you reduce future interest payments and take one step closer to protecting your home. As your home increases in value the gain is tax sheltered so long-term the bang for your buck is quite good. The tax-free nature of it is the equivalent of tax-free growth provided in an RRSP or TFSA.

In times of unstable stock markets, “investing” in your home is a great, more conservative option for investors. And FYI, if you’ve had a rough year and cannot contribute to your RRSP, don’t worry, you’ve been investing in your home all year.

Other investments: TFSA’s can be rolled into an RRSP later for the same deduction. So if you are not sure if you will need to funds later or your taxable income is very low you can park it in your TFSA and get the deduction later. Other investment options are non-registered accounts in which returns are taxed by CRA.

Although we already mentioned paying off your mortgage, you may have other debt that should be attended to first. You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again…get rid of that credit card debt.

Do Nothing…

  • If you’re a public servant with a government pension you are pretty set up
  • If you have an big fat company pension you do not need an RRSP
  • Old Auntie Phillis leaving you $1,000,000 in inheritance? You do not need an RRSP.
  • OVERWORKED? Need a vacation? Take one. Do not let yourself get burnt out or injured and damage your future earning potential

Trusted Regina Real Estate trusted tip on It's The Price That Sells a Home


 The Price That Sells a Home: 

As much as we all have an emotional attachment to our own homes and there is an inherent value to us because of the history created in there and maybe the blood sweat and tears that we put into creating a home, not just a house, unfortunately, that doesn't add value to a buyer when it comes time to sell. Selling your home can be an emotional process but when it actually comes to negotiating the sale the emotion has to be removed and it becomes simply a business transaction that is about dollars and cents....or actually hundreds of thousands of dollars! 

There are many factors that affect a sale price including specifics about location, floorplan, curb appeal, interior decor, etc.....but as it is well said in this article, at the end of the day it's about the price and value. Market Value quite simply stated is what someone is willing to pay for your property on any given day.

You've heard the old saying - "Location, location, location."

The real truth is "Location, condition, and price." And price trumps every other factor.

Location affects the value of a home, but it's price that sells a home.

Oceanfront, mountainside, or penthouse, the most desirable location in the world won't sell at the wrong price.

Every property has a potential buyer, but like rock, paper, scissors, it's sometimes hard to know which factor is going to win the showdown.

A good location will sell at a fair price. A bad location will sell at a fair price, too. It just won't be as high as it would be for a good location.  

A home in good condition will sell for a fair price. A home in poor condition will also sell at a fair price. Again, it won't be as high as a comparable home in better condition.

But neither location or condition will sell any house. Only one thing does that - price.

So if you're a seller waiting for that "special buyer" who will appreciate your faded pink and black bathroom tile, your vintage orange shag carpet and is willing to help you put your kids through college because of your real estate prowess, you're going to have a long wait.

So if your home is represented by an agent, and it's been on the market for a long time, chances are it's your own fault.

Maybe you didn't listen to your agent when he said you're pricing your home above the market. Maybe you got mad at the first few folks who looked at your home and didn't make offers.

When the showings stopped completely, maybe you accused your agent of not doing a good enough job.

You put the blame on everyone except where it belongs - on you. It's not about you, what you want, or how much you need for your retirement.

It's about the price.
