HVAC Design & Build in Vancouver.

Complete HVAC Design-Build From Planning to Commissioning.

A properly designed HVAC system starts long before the equipment is installed. Penguin HVAC provides complete HVAC design-build services for renovations, custom homes and light commercial projects throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.


From initial system planning through fabrication, installation and final commissioning, our team coordinates the major parts of the HVAC scope under one roof. This helps ensure the equipment, ductwork, ventilation and controls are designed to work together from the beginning.


During the design stage, our HVAC team reviews the building and project requirements to determine the right mechanical system. Key parts of our design-build process include:


  1. Load calculations: Determining the heating and cooling requirements of the building so equipment can be properly sized.
  2. Equipment selection: Selecting furnaces, heat pumps, air conditioners, air handlers and other equipment based on the project requirements.
  3. Duct design: Planning supply and return ductwork around the required airflow and building layout.
  4. Custom sheet metal fabrication: Fabricating the duct sections, fittings, transitions and connections required for the installation.
  5. HVAC installation: Installing the equipment, ductwork, ventilation components and supporting systems included within the project scope.
  6. Testing and commissioning: Starting the completed system, checking operation and confirming the equipment and airflow are performing as intended.



With Penguin HVAC managing the HVAC system from design through installation, each stage can be planned around the same mechanical requirements.

One HVAC Scope From Design Through Installation.

Separating HVAC design, equipment selection, duct fabrication and installation between different contractors can create unnecessary coordination problems.

Our design-build approach brings these stages together.


Penguin HVAC can assess the project, calculate heating and cooling requirements, plan the system, coordinate equipment selection, design the ductwork, fabricate required sheet metal components and complete the HVAC installation.



This provides homeowners, builders and project managers with one HVAC contractor responsible for the mechanical scope from the early planning stages through final system startup.

HVAC Design-Build for Renovations, Custom Homes and Light Commercial Projects

Different projects create different mechanical challenges.


Renovations may require a new HVAC system to work around existing framing, ductwork and limited mechanical space. Custom homes allow the HVAC system to be planned alongside the building design. Light commercial projects may require different equipment, zoning, ventilation and air distribution requirements based on how the space will be used.



Penguin HVAC works through these requirements during the design stage so the mechanical system can be planned before installation begins.

Why Choose Penguin Air Conditioning and Heating for HVAC Design-Build.

A successful HVAC project depends on more than choosing good equipment. System sizing, duct design, airflow, installation and commissioning all need to work together.


Penguin HVAC provides one coordinated approach to these parts of the project. Our licensed HVAC team performs load calculations, plans equipment and ductwork requirements, provides custom sheet metal fabrication and completes the installation using established HVAC installation practices.



By involving our team early in the project, we can also coordinate the mechanical requirements with the building layout and other trades before installation begins.

  • What is HVAC design-build?

    The average cost to install an HRV system in Canada is around $7,200 during the framing stage of a new construction or renovation project.


    This cost may fluctuate depending on the size of the HRV needed, complexity of installation and brand of equipment.

  • When should I involve Penguin HVAC in my renovation or construction project?

    An HRV isn't a very complicated piece of equipment, but ensuring the system is designed properly is necessary for it to work properly!


    An HRV is installed by installing ductwork throughout your house and by installing a fresh air intake and exhaust outlet on the exterior of your house.


    A fresh air vent will need to be run to each room in the house for the system to properly recycle the air in your home.

  • Does HVAC design-build include custom ductwork?

    Yes. When custom ductwork is required as part of the project, Penguin HVAC can incorporate duct design and sheet metal fabrication into the overall mechanical scope.


    This allows the ductwork to be designed around the equipment, required airflow and actual building layout rather than treated as a separate part of the project.
