HVAC done right from the ground up
A new home is the one chance to get heating, cooling, and ductwork right from the start: sized for the space, laid out cleanly, and built to run efficiently for decades. Get it right during the build and you avoid the comfort and energy problems that are expensive to fix later.
Snipps Heating & Air Conditioning has designed and installed HVAC for new homes across Montrose and the Western Slope for nearly 30 years. We work alongside builders and homeowners, fabricate our own ductwork in-house, and our NATE-certified team sizes and installs the whole system to spec.
A system designed for the home, not bolted on
When we handle the HVAC for your new build, here's what you get:
Sized for your home
We size the equipment to your home's square footage, layout, and our mountain climate, not a rough guess, so it heats and cools efficiently from day one.
Ductwork built in-house
We fabricate custom ductwork in our own shop to fit the new floor plan, so air reaches every room evenly, with no generic parts forced into place.
We work with your build schedule
We coordinate with builders and general contractors to get rough-in and final install done at the right stage, keeping your project on track.
Backed by warranty
New equipment carries its factory warranty, and our workmanship is backed by our own, installed by NATE-certified technicians.
The HVAC decisions made during construction follow the home for its whole life. We help you get them right the first time.
How we handle new construction HVAC
From plans to final walkthrough, here's how a new-build project goes:
We review the plans with you.
We look at the floor plan, square footage, and layout with you or your builder to plan the right heating, cooling, and duct approach for the home.
We design and size the system.
We spec equipment sized to the home and design the duct layout for balanced airflow, then give you a clear estimate before anything starts.
We rough in during the build.
We coordinate with your builder to run and fabricate ductwork and set the lines at the right construction stage, before walls close up.
We install and commission it.
Our NATE-certified technicians set the equipment, connect and seal the ducts, and start the system up so it runs the way it was designed to.
We walk you through it and back it up.
We show you how the new system works, confirm everything is running right, and back it with the factory and workmanship warranties.

What people ask about new construction HVAC
Why does getting HVAC right during construction matter?
It's the one time everything is open and accessible. Properly sizing the equipment and laying out the ductwork during the build gives you even comfort and efficiency for the life of the home, and avoids problems that are costly to fix once the walls are closed.
Do you work directly with builders and GCs?
Yes. We coordinate with builders and general contractors to schedule rough-in and final install at the right construction stages, and we keep our part of the project on track.
How do you size the system for a new home?
We size the equipment to the home's square footage, layout, and our mountain climate rather than eyeballing it. Right-sizing keeps the home comfortable and the system efficient, and avoids equipment that's oversized or straining.
Do you fabricate the ductwork too?
Yes. We run our own sheet metal shop and fabricate custom ductwork to fit the new floor plan, so air is delivered evenly and the duct routing suits the home instead of stock parts.
What kind of system can you install in a new build?
When in the build should we bring you in?
The earlier the better, ideally while the plans are still being finalized. Getting us in early means the HVAC and ductwork are designed into the home rather than worked around later.
Is the new system covered by warranty?
Yes. New equipment carries its manufacturer's factory warranty, and our installation work is backed by our own workmanship warranty.
