HVAC Considerations for Your Renovation

A couple looking at blueprints.

As a homeowner, we're sure you've considered renovating and upgrading your space. Whether you're planning on giving your kitchen area, restroom, or even basement a much-needed facelift, you also need to consider the air conditioning enhancements required to keep your home comfortable.


Let's look at a few choices for the heating and cooling of the new space in your home and learn where you can find the very best solutions for your residence improvement and renovation project.


HVAC SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT FOR ADDITIONAL SPACE IN YOUR HOME

When you tackle a renovation task like adding a whole new wing to your home, you need to also keep an HVAC installation in mind. Your home needs to maintain its comfort, and the heating and cooling of the newly added space are crucial.


Three main options are available for your heating and cooling needs for the new space in your home. These include expanding your existing HVAC system, upgrading your HVAC system, or installing a brand-new system.


EXPANDING YOUR EXISTING SYSTEM

Expanding your existing HVAC system can be the easiest option, but you need to research and ensure this is the most appropriate option for your renovation. You need to conduct a power audit and do many calculations before proceeding. You have to consult with HVAC professionals so they can make sure your existing system has the power needed to expand the existing ductwork into the brand-new enhancement.


If the power's sufficient, you'll need to re-balance the airflow so that all the corners of your home get the ideal amount of air distribution.


UPGRADING YOUR HVAC SYSTEM

If the calculations show that your existing system isn't large enough and doesn't have the sufficient amount of power needed to be expandable, you'll need to upgrade the current HVAC in your house to a larger one. This will allow you to use the existing ductwork and develop marginal interference with your house. You will, nonetheless, need to check the direct sunlight exposure, insulation and various other variables of the remodel so you can get the best-sized heating and cooling device.


INSTALLING A NEW INDEPENDENT SYSTEM

Some homeowners avoid adjusting their existing system entirely and install a brand-new separate HVAC system for the new space. This option is perfect for a new spacious room or wing in your home. It allows you to manage the air-conditioning for each space independently, creating the most comfortable condition for your newly renovated home. The downside, however, is adding more HVAC devices leads to an increase in energy expenses.
