New Construction HVAC | Troutman, NC & the Lake Norman Area

---

HVAC planning should begin before rough-in whenever possible. Early planning allows equipment sizing, duct routing, supply and return locations, drains, refrigerant piping and controls to be coordinated with the home’s framing and construction schedule. 

Proper system sizing should be based on the home’s actual heating and cooling requirements rather than square footage alone. Factors such as insulation, windows, orientation, construction materials, air leakage and room-by-room loads can all affect equipment sizing. 

Yes. L & J Cooling and Heating plans supply and return airflow, duct sizing and routing as part of the overall HVAC system so the equipment and ductwork are designed to work together. 

Yes. We can coordinate with builders and contractors throughout the project to help keep HVAC rough-in, equipment installation, controls and final start-up aligned with the construction schedule 

The ductwork and other rough-in components are generally installed earlier in construction, while the primary equipment and controls are installed later as the home progresses. The exact sequence depends on the project and construction schedule. 

Yes. Before completion, we start the HVAC system, verify operation, evaluate airflow and temperature performance, and make necessary adjustments.
