You’ve finally decided to renovate your outdated kitchen or turn the basement into a lavish home theater – exciting! But amid the paint swatches and flooring samples, don’t forget about one essential: your HVAC system. Like an award-winning actor, your home’s heating and cooling plays a starring role in making these remodeled spaces comfortable. Give it the A-list treatment by involving your AAA-1 HVAC pros early in the remodeling process.
Just as George Clooney requires private trailers and posters with his tousled locks just so, your HVAC system has its own finicky needs for performing at its best throughout your home’s remodel. Here are the biggest considerations to keep your HVAC happily humming along.
Expanded Square Footage Calls for an Encore Performance
Adding new living spaces like bedrooms, great rooms, or expanded kitchens puts your existing HVAC system in the hot seat. The added area can overwork your current system, causing hot/cold spots, increased utility bills, and excessive wear and tear. Discuss your blueprints with a professional to determine if your new spaces will call for an upgrade to your HVAC system.
Converted Attics and Basements Need Some Stage Crafting
Transforming previously unfinished attics or basements into fully functional rooms requires careful HVAC planning. These new living spaces have different heating and cooling needs than existing finished areas. AAA-1 can evaluate the space and make recommendations for proper ductwork, vent, and register placement, return air vents, and zoning. The goal is to keep your converted attic or basement at optimal comfort levels. Don’t assume your existing ductwork setup will automatically accommodate a finished basement or attic – custom HVAC design is crucial for these major room conversions. With expert input, you can create the ideal climate control for your newly remodeled treasure.
Custom Zoning Prevents Scene Stealing
Modern HVAC systems can be divided into separate temperature zones, preventing any rooms from hogging heating or cooling. Smart zoning gives every area of your remodel its own customizable climate control for maximum comfort. AAA-1 can incorporate advanced zoned thermostats to stop living rooms from scene-stealing, no drama required.
Electrical Upgrades Are Part of the Act
Larger or higher efficiency HVAC systems often demand increased electrical circuits and amps. When upgrading HVAC equipment as part of your remodel, be sure to get a full review of electrical needs as well. You wouldn’t want to unveil your new addition only to have the lights fade! Coordinate with AAA-1 experts to avoid any power-tripping.
