3 Tips for Installing an HVAC Into New Home Construction

Tips for Installing a New HVAC System in a Brand New Home

Rebuilding your house after the October 2017 Tubs fires can be an emotional experience with its rewards and challenges. As you design every room, you do not want to neglect your new HVAC system. The best way to go about doing this is by hiring a local Santa Rosa HVAC contractor to guide you along the way. You need to know what is going on at every step of the process, and here are some steps to follow to ensure you get the perfect HVAC to go inside your newly built home.

1. Consider Purchasing an Energy Star System 

Over the past few years, more homeowners have become aware of the importance of installing energy efficient systems in their houses. With so many different units out there, it can be tough to know which ones are worth getting. Fortunately, you just need to look for the Energy Star logo. This logo signifies that the system in question meets certain government requirements. With one of these units, you can cool down or heat up your home without worrying about getting an excessively high electric bill.

2. Do Not Oversize

Bigger is not necessarily better when it comes to your HVAC system. You need to choose the appropriate size when it comes to installing an air conditioner, furnace or heat pump. When you buy a unit that is too large for the space, it decreases the overall efficiency. Ultimately, you end up with more premature wear and tear on your system because it is incapable of maintaining the proper temperature in your house. You also end up with higher power bills. You do not need either of these things after you have spent a ton of money constructing your new home.

 
3. Pay Attention to the Thermostat

If you decide to install an HVAC unit on your own, then most of your attention will likely go toward the air conditioner and furnace. However, when you hire an HVAC contractor, you know some attention goes toward the thermostat, which is just as important. More specifically, you want to install a smart thermostat that pinpoints the most accurate temperature you want. These smart thermostats learn your behavior over time, so it will automatically adjust depending on the time of day. Additionally, some devices come with Wi-Fi capability, so you can alter the temperature right from your phone.
