Trusted HVAC Partner for Your Renovation
HVAC Remodeling & Addition Services in Jacksonville, NC
When you remodel or add a room, your heating and cooling system needs to adapt. We design, size, and install HVAC systems tailored to your renovation layout — from new ductwork runs to equipment that matches your expanded square footage. Our team coordinates with your contractor to keep your project on schedule and your comfort in mind.
Why Choose Elite Home Solutions for HVAC Remodeling
Renovation-Specific Expertise
We specialize in HVAC design for remodels and additions. We size equipment based on your new layout, not your old system. This prevents comfort dead zones and keeps energy bills from climbing.
Ductwork Planned & Installed Right
Poorly routed ducts kill efficiency. We design ductwork runs that integrate cleanly into your renovation, avoiding conflicts with framing, insulation, and other trades while maintaining proper airflow balance.
Coordination with Your Contractor
Renovation projects juggle multiple trades and timelines. We align our work with your electrician, plumber, and general contractor so no one waits and no one builds in the way.
Equipment Sized to Your New Space
Adding 500 square feet of living space doesn’t mean buying bigger equipment. Proper sizing prevents short-cycling, excess humidity, and wasted energy. We calculate load based on your actual remodel footprint.
Veteran-Operated & Licensed
NATE Certified, EPA Certified, and Gas Certified. We hold an H2 license and are recognized Duke Energy Trade Allies. Your renovation deserves professionals who know their code.
Honest Diagnostics & Upfront Quotes
We assess your existing system, determine what can be reused and what needs replacement, and give you a clear estimate before work starts. No surprises on your invoice.
Our HVAC Remodeling Process
1. On-Site Assessment & Layout Review
We meet with you and your general contractor to walk the renovation space. We review the existing HVAC system, the new layout, addition square footage, and any walls or rooms being reconfigured. This step determines whether your current equipment can serve the expanded area or if replacement is needed.
- Walk the site with your contractor to identify ductwork routing
- Measure the addition square footage and R-value of new insulation
- Test existing equipment capacity and condition
- Note any code or clearance constraints
- Photograph the layout for our design team
2. Load Calculation & System Sizing
We calculate the heating and cooling load based on your new total square footage, climate zone, insulation values, and window placement. This ensures your equipment is sized right — not oversized (wasting energy) and not undersized (leaving new rooms uncomfortable).
- Run a Manual J load calculation per your remodel specs
- Account for new insulation, windows, and wall orientation
- Size the furnace, air handler, or heat pump to match
- Specify ductwork diameter and length to maintain static pressure
- Confirm the calculation with your contractor’s timeline
3. Ductwork Design & Routing Plan
Ductwork is where most remodels stumble. We design a routing plan that avoids the new framing, integrates with existing runs where possible, and maintains proper sizing and slope for condensation drainage (if applicable). Our crew coordinates with drywall, electrical, and plumbing before installation begins.
- Sketch ductwork paths that don’t conflict with structural members
- Size trunk and branch ducts to minimize velocity and noise
- Plan return-air pathways to ensure balanced airflow
- Specify insulation and sealing per energy code
- Mark up blueprints for contractor reference
4. Equipment Selection & Installation
Based on your load calculation, we recommend equipment that matches the remodel scope and your budget. Installation follows your renovation timeline — we work around other trades, respect wall framing schedules, and verify all connections before drywall closes the wall.
- Select furnace, heat pump, or packaged unit sized to the load
- Install the indoor and outdoor equipment per manufacturer specs
- Run refrigerant, electrical, and gas lines through planned pathways
- Seal all ductwork and test for leaks before insulation
- Verify airflow balance across all remodeled rooms
5. Testing, Balancing & Handoff
Once your remodel is complete and walls are closed, we test the system under load, balance airflow to each room, and document performance. You receive a written report, our recommendations for future maintenance, and next-visit scheduling if applicable.
- Run system tests in heating and cooling modes
- Balance dampers and verify static pressure
- Check thermostats and confirm setpoint stability
- Create a written performance report with test data
- Schedule your first maintenance visit on the new system
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Costs vary based on system type, ductwork scope, and whether you replace or upgrade existing equipment. We provide an upfront quote after our on-site assessment so you know the investment before work begins. Financing options are available to spread payments over time.
Sometimes. If your AC is in good condition and sized appropriately for the expanded space, reuse is possible. If the addition increases your cooling load beyond the unit’s capacity, replacement is the smarter option. We’ll evaluate your existing system and recommend the cost-effective path.
Not necessarily. If the room is small and your existing system has capacity (verified by load calculation), we may only need to extend ductwork and balance airflow. Our assessment determines whether equipment upgrade is necessary or if ductwork extension and balancing solve it.
We do. You provide us your contractor’s timeline, and we schedule equipment installation and ductwork work to align. We coordinate with electricians, plumbers, and framers to prevent conflicts and keep your project moving on schedule.
Modern ductwork design minimizes disruption. We route runs through existing spaces, above ceiling joists, or through planned chaseways. Our crew works alongside drywall and insulation crews to keep everything clean and coordinated. We also minimize noise by right-sizing ductwork and using insulation.
We balance the system by adjusting dampers and measuring airflow at each supply register. Your thermostat is positioned for overall comfort, and we verify equal temperature across all rooms under test. You receive a written performance report documenting test results.
We stock Armstrong ProTeam, Goodman, Hisense, Rheem, TOSOT, Bradford White, and Navien equipment. If your existing system is one of these brands, we can match or upgrade within the same product line, ensuring parts compatibility and service continuity.
Yes. If the remodel is a bonus room, master suite, or space you’d rather condition separately, a ductless mini-split may be more efficient and easier to install than running new ducts. We’ll assess both options and explain the trade-offs.
Yes. Preventive maintenance keeps your new equipment running efficiently and protects your investment. We offer a maintenance plan covering both the new HVAC system and existing equipment. Plan members receive priority scheduling and discounted repair rates.
We coordinate with your contractor to reschedule equipment delivery and installation as needed. Most HVAC components are available on short notice, so delays rarely impact the total project schedule. We’ll keep you and your contractor in sync.
Ductwork installation and equipment setup typically take 2–4 days, depending on scope. System testing and balancing add another day. Your contractor’s framing and drywall schedule usually determines the final timeline, and we work within it.
Yes. All HVAC installation for renovations and additions requires permits and inspections. We handle permit applications, inspections, and code compliance so your project stays above board and your system is documented for insurance and resale.
