Residential Equipment Replacement
It's A System - That is the #1 secret to proper HVAC equipment replacement
Buying a new furnace or air conditioner isn’t like buying a new refrigerator that you bring home and simply plug into the wall. The equipment is only one component of a larger system that’s been designed, fabricated, and installed into your home.
Ductwork, registers, grilles, dampers, accessories, and other components are all important parts of the HVAC system, and should be evaluated together. We offer a comprehensive analysis of your entire system.
Shouldn’t I just replace my equipment?
Millions of frustrated homeowners invest thousands of dollars each year in brand-new equipment, only to discover they still have high utility bills, comfort issues, poor indoor air quality, and even safety concerns with their heating equipment. No contractor can assure you comfort and efficiency by simply replacing your equipment. In order to provide an optimally working system, we will measure, test, adjust, and balance your system. Our technicians are professional, informative, and helpful. These steps and traits set us apart from the rest of the industry.
How will Corcoran design my system?
Based on our consultation, your system will be designed to address your needs. We will take the necessary measurements – room sizes, building construction, duct sizes and layouts, insulation factors, static pressures, and temperature readings. We will create a digital model of your building to ensure the exact size of equipment needed to condition the space based on your desired comfort level. This model also helps us understand any areas where your system is deficient. We will be able to see airflow and other system factors, which will help us choose the right equipment.We will then provide you with the correct customized solution.
What can you expect from a system designed by Corcoran?
- Using that information we create a computerized model of your building to ensure the exact size of equipment needed to condition the space based on your desired temperature.
- Once we have a chance to meet we will take all the appropriate measurements – room sizes, building construction, duct sizes and layouts, insulation factors, static pressures and temperature readings where applicable.
- Based on our consultation meeting your system will be designed to address your main complaints and concerns.
- This model also helped us to understand which areas of the space may not be performing as desired and how we can improve those areas.
- It will also give us the exact amount of air needed for not only conditioning, but also if we need to introduce fresh air.

Step 1: Design Standards
We start by determining what kind of system you need. We compare that to see what the architect or engineer has specified for the project.
Step 2: Gather & Send Drawings
For us to properly design and install the perfect HVAC system it all starts with the drawing and the information in it. This is the foundation for our design. If the architect has rendered a drawing for the space and system we need a copy of that drawing.
We accept PDFs, but prefer Blue Prints and AutoCAD files. These files are integrated into our computerized modeling software, and allow us to create our systems and solutions. It also ensures we meet all necessary ventilation requirements.
Step 3: The Comfort Questionnaire
Use this questionnaire to ensure we are both on the same page when it comes to designing the right solution for your project. All projects are unique, and this questionnaire helps answer our design questions. It also ensures we are designing based on your project and desired outcomes.
We design the solution together. Your input ensures the long term enjoyment of the final product. Also, ensures there are not costly overages and extras, or unnecessary headaches or code hold ups.

The #1 secret to proper HVAC equipment design and installation is designing all components as a system integrated with the building.
Designing and installing a HVAC comfort system is not like picking out a new refrigerator that you bring home, and simply plug into the wall. The equipment is only one component of a system that’s being custom designed, fabricated and installed into your home or business.
Other components include your ductwork, registers, grilles, dampers, accessories and more. Each of these components needs be evaluated and designed together. Some contractors want to just slap in a system, take the money and run. We take the time to design the whole system so you can make a truly informed decision. Leaving the duct or hydronic system to guesswork and rule of thumb practices is like performing surgery without a thorough diagnosis.
What difference does it make?
Millions of frustrated homeowners and business owners invest thousands of dollars each year in new systems, only to discover they have high utility bills, comfort issues, poor indoor air quality – even safety concerns with their heating equipment. No contractor can assure you comfort and efficiency by simply using minimum industry standards and rule of thumb practices. In order to fulfill our promises, we must design, test, adjust, measure and balance your system. These steps are what set us apart from the rest of the industry.

Whether we are replacing existing equipment, upgrading, starting from scratch, or making small repairs, asking the right questions is essential to success.
With over 30 years of industry experience, we have developed a specific set of questions that has become the foundation for designing the perfect indoor environment.
Clients have told us that by answering the questionnaire, they learn valuable information about their own system and often come across a question they wouldn’t have thought to ask.
By filling out the questionnaire, you not only help us better understand your system’s needs and issues, but you also save a lot of time by answering the questions in advance. If you complete it prior to our consultation, we’ll take $ 100.00 off the solution price.
