AC Upgrades for Home Renovations and Additions

A lot of homeowners don’t realize their existing system may not be built to handle more rooms, more airflow, or new layout challenges. That’s where we come in.

Why renovations often require AC upgrades

When you expand your living space, your AC system has to work harder to cool more area. But many existing systems are already at their capacity. Additions, room conversions, and open-concept designs all change the way air moves through your home. Without the right upgrades, you could end up with hot spots, uneven cooling, or a system that breaks down prematurely. We often see these issues during projects involving major remodels or garage conversions.

Options that match your new layout

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether you need to upgrade your main system, add a ductless unit, or rebalance your airflow, we tailor everything to your home’s layout and long-term needs. Our goal is to make your comfort seamless across old and new spaces.

Ductless systems for added rooms

If your new space isn’t connected to existing ductwork or feels like an afterthought, a ductless mini-split may be the best option. These systems are perfect for bonus rooms, additions, and in-law suites. They give you zoned control, quiet performance, and year-round comfort without extending your existing ductwork.

Load balancing for enlarged living spaces

When walls come down or spaces open up, airflow changes. We assess your cooling load and make sure your system is properly balanced to match the new layout. That could mean adjusting return placement, upgrading duct sizes, or installing a new high-efficiency unit designed for the updated square footage.

When to call us during your remodel

The earlier, the better. We can coordinate with your builder or general contractor to make sure your AC setup is planned alongside framing, insulation, and finishes. If you wait too long, you may end up with limited options or costly changes. Even if your system is still fairly new, routine maintenance during construction can help protect it from dust and debris.

Answers for renovation planning

Not sure what your system can handle? Here are some common questions we get from homeowners updating their space:

Do I have to replace my existing system?

Not always. If your current system has enough capacity and is in good condition, we can often make it work by adjusting ducts or adding a dedicated unit for the new space. When a replacement is needed, we’ll walk you through all your options including upgrades to heating and ventilation.

Can I get better comfort without changing the entire layout?

Yes. Sometimes a few smart changes go a long way. Whether it’s a zoned thermostat, return upgrades, or targeted repairs, we’ll help you get the most out of what you already have.

Make your comfort match your home’s new look

Upgrading your home should include upgrading your comfort too. We make sure your HVAC system supports the changes you’ve made so you can enjoy your new space without compromise.
