Designing & Installing Peak Performance HVAC Systems for Your New Home or Building

Building a new home or commercial property in Moscow, ID is a significant investment, and the heating and cooling system is one of its most critical components. Unlike replacing an old unit, new construction HVAC offers a unique opportunity to design and install a system perfectly tailored to your building's exact specifications, ensuring optimal comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability from day one.

At Unlimited Heating & Refrigeration Inc., we specialize in providing comprehensive new construction HVAC services for builders, general contractors, and homeowners throughout the Moscow area. With over 20 years of experience serving the Palouse region, our team understands the unique climate challenges and building standards here. We partner with you from the initial planning stages to the final commissioning, ensuring your new property has an HVAC system built for performance and longevity.

Why New Construction HVAC Requires Specialized Expertise

Installing an HVAC system in a new building is fundamentally different from replacing an existing one. It's not just about putting equipment in; it's about designing a complete environmental control system that integrates seamlessly with the building's structure, insulation, windows, and overall design.

Choosing an experienced new construction HVAC partner like Unlimited Heating & Refrigeration is crucial because we:

•  Understand Building Science: We know how different building materials and designs impact heating and cooling loads.
•  Perform Accurate Calculations: We use industry-standard methods like Manual J, S, and D to correctly size equipment and design ductwork – avoiding costly mistakes like oversized or undersized systems.
•  Coordinate with Other Trades: We work closely with your builder, electricians, plumbers, and insulation contractors to ensure a smooth, timely installation process.
•  Plan for Future Needs: We consider future maintenance access, air quality needs, and technology integration during the design phase.

Our Proven New Construction HVAC Process

We follow a meticulous process to ensure your new building in Moscow, ID, receives an HVAC system that delivers maximum comfort and efficiency:

1. Initial Consultation & Blueprint Review:
   We start by reviewing your architectural blueprints and discussing your specific needs, budget, and energy efficiency goals for the new property. This helps us understand the building's layout, window types, insulation levels, and intended use.
2. ‍Detailed Load Calculation (Manual J):
   Using specialized software and the details from your blueprints and consultation, we perform a precise Manual J calculation. This determines the exact heating and cooling loads required for each zone of the building, ensuring the system is perfectly sized – not too big, not too small.
3. ‍System Design & Equipment Selection (Manual S):
   Based on the load calculation and your preferences, we design the optimal HVAC system. We recommend specific equipment (furnaces, AC units, heat pumps, mini-splits, etc.) that meet the calculated loads and offer the desired features, efficiency ratings (like SEER, AFUE, HSPF), and budget. We work with leading manufacturers to provide reliable, high-quality options.Custom
4. Ductwork Design & Planning (Manual D):
   Properly designed and installed ductwork is paramount for system performance in new construction. We create a detailed duct layout plan (Manual D) that ensures balanced airflow to every room, minimizing noise and maximizing efficiency. The design considers duct sizing, routing, material, and insulation requirements.
5. ‍Professional Installation (Rough-in & Finish):
   Our certified technicians execute the installation plan in two main phases:
   • Rough-in: Occurs after framing is complete but before walls are closed up. We install ductwork, refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and drainage. Precision during this stage is critical.
   • Finish: Once the interior is finished, we set and connect the indoor and outdoor units, install vents, grilles, thermostats (including smart thermostats if desired), and any Indoor Air Quality accessorie
   ‍
6. Coordination with Your Builder/Contractor:
   We maintain open communication with your general contractor and other subcontractors throughout the process, coordinating our timeline and work to keep the project on track and avoid conflicts.
7. ‍System Testing & Commissioning:
   After installation, we rigorously test the entire system to ensure it's operating according to design specifications. This includes checking airflow, refrigerant levels, electrical connections, thermostat functionality, and overall performance.
8. ‍Customer Walkthrough & Education:
   We conduct a final walkthrough with you or the homeowner, explaining how the system operates, demonstrating thermostat use, and providing information on maintenance and warranty coverage

Choosing the Right System for Your Moscow New Build

The ideal HVAC system for your new construction project in Moscow depends on several factors, including building size, design, insulation, budget, and desired energy efficiency. We offer expertise in installing various systems:

•  Furnaces & Air Conditioners: Traditional split systems offering reliable heating and cooling.
•  Heat Pumps: Highly efficient systems that provide both heating and cooling, ideal for moderate climates like ours, potentially supplemented by a furnace for colder periods.
•  Ductless Mini-Splits: Perfect for zoned comfort, additions, or areas where ductwork is challenging.
•  High-Efficiency & Communicating Systems: Advanced options offering superior comfort control, diagnostics, and energy savings.

We'll help you navigate the choices and select a system that aligns with your project goals and provides lasting comfort and value.

The Critical Importance of Ductwork

In new construction, poorly designed or installed ductwork can drastically reduce even the most efficient HVAC system's performance. Leaky or improperly sized ducts lead to uneven temperatures, wasted energy, and increased utility bills. Our meticulous ductwork design and installation process ensures:

•  Optimal Airflow: Properly sized and routed ducts deliver the right amount of conditioned air to each room.
•  Minimal Leakage: We use best practices for sealing ductwork to prevent air loss, ensuring conditioned air reaches its destination efficiently.
•  Quiet Operation: Thoughtful design minimizes noise caused by airflow turbulence.
