FAQs
When in the construction process should we bring in the HVAC contractor?
As early as possible — ideally during the design or framing phase. HVAC layout decisions (duct routing, equipment placement, return air locations) are far easier and less expensive to make before walls are closed and mechanical systems are roughed in. Involving Ashley Brothers early means your duct design is integrated cleanly into the build rather than worked around existing framing. We coordinate directly with builders and general contractors throughout St. Louis County and Jefferson County.
What does a new construction HVAC installation typically include?
A complete new construction HVAC installation covers: system sizing and load calculation (Manual J) based on the home’s square footage, insulation, and window layout; ductwork design and fabrication; equipment selection and installation (furnace, air conditioner or heat pump, air handler); thermostat installation; startup and commissioning; and a final inspection to verify performance. We also handle all required permits and coordinate inspections with local St. Louis County and Jefferson County building departments.
How is the right HVAC system size determined for a new build?
System sizing is calculated using a Manual J load calculation, which accounts for the home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation values, window size and orientation, local climate data, and the number of occupants. An oversized system short-cycles — it heats or cools too quickly without running long enough to properly dehumidify the air, leading to comfort issues and accelerated wear. An undersized system runs constantly and struggles to maintain temperature. Ashley Brothers performs accurate load calculations on every new construction project to ensure the right fit.
Do you work with custom home builders and production builders?
Yes, both. We work with custom home builders who need a collaborative partner for single-lot projects, as well as production builders managing multiple homes across a development. Our team is experienced in coordinating with general contractors, framers, and inspectors to keep HVAC installation on schedule without creating delays for other trades.
What energy efficiency standards apply to new construction HVAC in Missouri?
Missouri follows the federal minimum efficiency standards: SEER2 14.3 for split-system air conditioners and 80% AFUE for gas furnaces as a baseline. However, many new construction projects target higher efficiency ratings to qualify for Ameren Missouri and Spire rebate programs and to meet green building standards. Ashley Brothers stays current on all applicable Missouri building codes and local St. Louis requirements, and we can help you spec a system that exceeds minimums and qualifies for available incentives.
Can Ashley Brothers handle the HVAC for additions and major renovations, not just ground-up builds?
Absolutely. We work on additions, finished basements, attic conversions, and whole-home renovations where the existing HVAC system needs to be extended or replaced to serve new square footage. These projects often involve duct modifications, equipment upgrades, or the addition of zoning controls to balance airflow between old and new spaces.
