Planning Air Conditioning for a New Build or Renovation

The best time to plan air conditioning is before the walls and ceilings go up. Here's how to get it right on a new home or a major renovation.

Involve us early

Ideally we see the plans while they're being finalised. That's when equipment locations, duct or pipe routes, bulkheads and outlet positions can be designed in, rather than worked around later.

What we need from you

  • Floor plans, elevations and ceiling heights
  • How each room will be used, and when
  • Any preference for brand or controls
  • Your builder's contact details and program

What we plan

  • System type and capacity, sized for the finished home.
  • Where the equipment goes, indoors and out, including service access.
  • Routes for pipework, ducts and drainage, agreed with the builder before framing is closed in.
  • Outlet and grille positions that suit the interior design and lighting plan.
  • Electrical requirements, so your electrician allows for them.

Rough-in and fit-off

We install pipework, ducts and drainage at rough-in, while the frame is open, then return at fit-off to install equipment, connect, commission and hand over. Working to the builder's program keeps the job on schedule.

Renovations

On renovations we also look at the existing house: what can be reused, what should be replaced, and how to make the old and new parts equally comfortable.
