WHO WE WORK WITH

New Construction HVAC for Builders and Homeowners

Whether you're a builder looking for a reliable HVAC subcontractor or a homeowner building a custom home, we handle new construction HVAC differently than a standard replacement install, and we're set up to serve both.

For Builders & General Contractors

We operate as a professional HVAC subcontractor for residential and commercial builders throughout Livonia, Northville, Plymouth, and surrounding Wayne and Oakland County communities.

  • Schedule coordinated rough in and final install

  • Load calculations and duct design included

  • COI and license documentation on request

  • First-time inspection pass, no callbacks

  • Volume relationships available for active builders

  • Direct communication with our new construction lead

For Custom Home Buyers

If you're building a custom home in Livonia, Northville, or Plymouth, we work directly with homeowners to design and install the right HVAC system from the ground up, before a single wall goes up.

  • System design based on your floor plan

  • Manual J load calculation for your specific home

  • Duct layout designed for even heating and cooling

  • Furnace, heat pump, and hybrid options available

  • Coordination with your builder's schedule

  • Full permit and inspection included

WHAT WE HANDLE

Full HVAC Scope for New Construction Projects

We handle the complete HVAC scope on new construction projects, from initial design through final commissioning. Here's exactly what that includes.

Load Calculations

Manual J load calculations for every unit or structure — the foundation of a correctly sized HVAC system. We calculate heating and cooling loads based on your floor plans, insulation specs, window placement, and orientation before any equipment is specified.

Duct Design & Layout

Manual D duct design to ensure proper airflow to every room. We lay out supply and return runs, size ducts correctly for the system, and coordinate duct routing with your framing and truss layout before rough-in begins.

Rough-In

Complete HVAC rough-in coordinated with your framing and mechanical schedule, duct runs, equipment pad and chase prep, refrigerant line routing, and equipment locations set before drywall. Clean rough-ins that don't create problems for other trades.

Equipment Installation

Final equipment installation, furnace, air handler, condenser or heat pump, coil, and all associated connections. We install all major brands and can specify equipment to meet energy code requirements for new construction in Michigan.

Permits & Inspections

Complete HVAC rough-in coordinated with your framing and mechanical schedule, duct runs, equipment pad and chase prep, refrigerant line routing, and equipment locations set before drywall. Clean rough-ins that don't create problems for other trades.

Commissioning & Handoff

Final system startup, testing, and balancing — we verify the system heats and cools every room correctly before signing off. For homeowner handoffs, we walk through system operation, thermostat setup, filter location, and maintenance basics.

HOW WE WORK WITH HOME BUILDERS

Our New Construction HVAC Process

From first contact to final commissioning, here's how a typical new construction HVAC engagement works with our team.

  • Initial Inquiry & Project Review

    Submit a partnership inquiry with basic project details — unit count, project type, location, and anticipated timeline. Our new construction lead will follow up within one business day to review the scope and schedule a conversation.

  • Plan Review & Load Calculations

    We review your floor plans and specifications, run Manual J load calculations for each unit, and provide equipment recommendations with efficiency options at different price points. Duct design layout follows for your review.

  • Scope & Pricing Agreement

    We provide a written scope and price for the full HVAC package — rough-in, equipment, final install, permits, and inspections. No line-item surprises after the fact. Changes to scope are documented and priced before work proceeds.

  • Permit Pull & Schedule Coordination

    We pull the mechanical permit and coordinate our schedule with your construction timeline — confirming rough-in date, framing completion, and final install timing well in advance so we're never the bottleneck on your project.

  • Rough-In

    Our crew completes the full HVAC rough-in — duct runs, equipment pads and chases, refrigerant line routing — coordinated with your framing, plumbing, and electrical trades. Clean work that doesn't create downstream problems.

  • Final Installation & Inspection

    After drywall and finish work, we return for final equipment installation, connections, startup, and testing. We schedule and pass the mechanical inspection, deliver the documentation, and commission the system for occupancy.

WHY BUILDERS CHOOSE US

What Builders Need From an HVAC Subcontractor

A bad HVAC sub creates problems that ripple through your entire build schedule. Here's what we bring to every new construction project.

We Don't Miss Schedules

Works with your existing duct system, the most common setup for Livonia homes replacing a furnace and AC together. The outdoor heat pump unit connects to an indoor air handler that distributes conditioned air through your existing ducts.

Clean Rough-Ins, First Time

No ductwork required, ideal for Livonia home additions, garages, or rooms that are difficult to heat and cool with existing ducts. Individual indoor air handlers mount on walls and connect to a shared outdoor unit.

We Pass Inspection

A heat pump paired with a gas furnace backup, the heat pump handles mild weather efficiently while the furnace takes over during extreme cold. A practical option for Livonia homeowners who want efficiency without fully leaving gas behind.

New Construction HVAC Questions

Questions builders and homeowners ask most about new construction HVAC installations.

How early in the build process do you need to be involved?

The earlier the better. Ideally, we're brought in during the plan review phase — before permits are pulled — so we can run load calculations, finalize equipment selection, and coordinate duct routing with your framing layout. Last-minute HVAC involvement leads to compromised duct runs and equipment placement. Early involvement produces a better system and a cleaner install.

What HVAC systems do you recommend for new construction in Michigan?

For most new residential construction in Southeast Michigan, we recommend a high-efficiency gas furnace (96% AFUE) paired with a high-SEER2 central AC system, or a cold-climate heat pump system for homeowners prioritizing efficiency and lower operating costs. The right answer depends on the homeowner's priorities, the home's design, and budget. We'll walk through options during our initial conversation.

Do you provide load calculations and duct design, or does the builder need to supply them?

We provide both. Manual J load calculations and Manual D duct design are included in our new construction scope. We run them based on your floor plans and specifications — you don't need to source them separately. Michigan energy code requires load calculations for new construction, and we document them for permit submission.

Can you handle multiple units or a full subdivision?

Yes. We work with builders on single custom homes, small developments, and larger residential projects with multiple units. For builders with ongoing volume, we can establish a consistent working relationship with standardized scope and streamlined processes across your projects. Contact us to discuss your pipeline.

Who pulls the mechanical permit on new construction?

We pull the mechanical permit as the licensed HVAC contractor. We coordinate directly with the local building department — City of Livonia, Northville Township, City of Plymouth, or Plymouth Township depending on your project location — and schedule the required inspections. Permit documentation is provided to the builder and homeowner for the project file.

Do you offer post-sale service for the homeowners after closing?

Yes. Every system we install in a new construction project is backed by the full service team at OnPoint HVAC. Homeowners have a local, established HVAC company to call for maintenance, service, or warranty issues — not an anonymous subcontractor who may be hard to reach. This is a real selling point for your buyers and one less post-close headache for you.
