Cardinal Plumbing Heating & Air shares tips for renovating home comfort systems

Amidst rising house prices, the trusted home service company reveals best practices for high-impact home improvements

STERLING, Va., July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- America currently faces a housing deficit, which has led to real estate price increases in many parts of country. In response to this trend, Cardinal Plumbing Heating & Air, a trusted home service provider based in Northern Virginia, reveals tips and best practices for homeowners who opt to renovate rather than relocate.

"High prices make it challenging for many families to consider buying a new place, but there are plenty of cost-effective ways to make an existing home more accommodating and comfortable," said Daniel Fuentes, co-founder of Cardinal Plumbing Heating & Air. "Improving the home's comfort systems is a good place to start, as doing so can not only enhance quality of life, but potentially boost the home's overall value."

Often, homeowners can adjust comfort levels and maximize energy efficiency without the need for a full system upgrade. Regular maintenance tasks, including routine filter changes and annual inspections, can optimize a HVAC system's performance and extend its longevity. Investing in a smart thermostat and ensuring adequate insulation can contribute to more consistent temperatures and more predictable utility bills.

"Annual duct cleaning is another important step, allowing homeowners to ensure their comfort system works properly and to reduce the spread of dust and allergens through the house," Fuentes said.

For homeowners who do wish to upgrade their entire system, seeking an ENERGY STAR®-certified unit can improve energy efficiency. Newer units that offer zoning systems can help homeowners personalize comfort levels, maintaining different temperatures in different parts of the home.

"For any homeowner whose HVAC unit is 10 years or older, it's wise to start planning a replacement," Fuentes said. "Upgrading to a newer model can enhance the home's value while also unlocking the latest advances in comfort and performance."
