New Construction HVAC Services

When you are building a new home or commercial property, deciding on your heating and cooling setup is one of the biggest choices you will make. The system you choose right now will dictate how comfortable your property feels, how high your energy bills are, and how reliable your system is for the next twenty or thirty years.

At Tenminds Mechanical, we operate strictly as a specialized HVAC subcontractor. That means we don’t build the walls or pour the foundation—instead, we focus entirely on providing expert new construction HVAC services across the Western Slope of Colorado. We work side-by-side with your general contractor, custom home builder, or design team from day one. Our goal is to create a custom climate control system that keeps your new property perfectly comfortable, energy-efficient, and future-ready without any hassle.

Stress-Free Planning with Advanced Design & Revit Expertise

A lot of headaches in a new build happen when different parts of the project collide—like a plumber trying to run a pipe right where an HVAC technician needs to put a massive air duct. To stop these unexpected errors and costly design changes before they ever happen on the job site, we use advanced 3D layout software called Revit.

Before our trucks ever show up to start the physical installation, our design team builds a complete 3D digital model of your home’s mechanical systems. This step makes a massive difference for builders and homeowners because it allows us to:

• Map out every duct and pipe perfectly: We design the system to fit seamlessly inside your walls and ceilings, keeping your mechanical room organized and saving your living space.
• Size your equipment accurately: We don’t guess what size AC or heater you need. We calculate exactly how much heating and cooling power your property requires based on Colorado’s unique climate and your home’s layout.
• Catch mistakes early: By building the system virtually first, we catch spacing issues ahead of time. This saves you from expensive on-the-job changes and keeps your building project moving on schedule.
• Keep things up to code: We ensure the entire design fully satisfies Colorado building and safety codes before construction even begins.

This planning process is incredibly helpful for custom homes and unique layouts, giving you absolute confidence that your new construction heating systems and air conditioners will run perfectly from the very first day you move in.

Comprehensive Heating & Cooling Systems for New Builds

Living on the Western Slope means dealing with intense weather changes. Our summers get incredibly hot, and our winters bring severe freezing temperatures. Because a standard, off-the-shelf air conditioner isn’t always enough, we specialize in a wide range of advanced, custom climate control options.

Luxury Boiler Systems with Radiant In-Floor Heating

If you want the ultimate level of winter comfort, pairing a high-efficiency boiler with radiant in-floor heating is the best choice you can make for a new build. Traditional heating systems blow dry, dusty air through vents, creating drafts and cold spots. Radiant systems are completely quiet and clean. They warm your home by circulating heated water through specialized tubing hidden directly beneath your floors, creating a gentle, even warmth that rises from your feet up.

We install three common types of in-floor systems depending on how your home is being built:

• Staple-Up Tubing – We fasten the heating pipes directly underneath your wooden subfloor. It is a highly flexible option that works beautifully with various architectural choices.
• Warmboard Panels– This premium option uses prefabricated floor panels with built-in channels for the pipes. It speeds up the installation time significantly and heats up your rooms incredibly fast.
• Gypcrete Floor Systems – We secure the tubing directly to the subfloor and cover it with a smooth, lightweight concrete layer. This layer absorbs the heat from the pipes and slowly releases it, keeping your home warm for hours with very little energy.

To make things even easier, we can connect your boiler to a specialized sidearm water heater. This setup lets your single boiler handle both your whole-house heating and all of your domestic hot water, saving space in your utility closet and cutting down on your monthly energy bills.

Automated Snowmelt Systems

Colorado winters bring plenty of heavy snow and dangerous ice. Shoveling, using harsh salts, and dealing with slippery walkways can be a massive chore. As part of our new construction HVAC services, we can design and install a built-in snowmelt system directly underneath your outdoor surfaces.

These systems circulate a warm, safe heating fluid through durable piping buried under your concrete or pavers, melting ice and snow the moment it hits the ground. This feature is perfect for:

• Custom Homes: Keep your beautiful driveways, walkways, and patios safe from snow and ice without using corrosive melting chemicals that crack concrete.
• Vacation Properties: Sleep easy knowing your mountain home stays clear and accessible all winter long, even if you are out of town during a blizzard.
• Commercial Properties: Protect your business from liability by keeping your public entrance and sidewalks dry and clear automatically.

Eco-Friendly, Zoned Comfort Upgrades

As modern homes shift toward cleaner, more efficient energy, we specialize in specifying and installing sustainable heating and cooling setups that reduce your carbon footprint and save you money.

Cold-Climate Air-to-Water Heat Pumps

If you want an all-electric, highly efficient home, an air-to-water heat pump is a fantastic choice. These modern systems extract natural warmth from the outdoor air—even when it is freezing outside—and use it to heat the water for your radiant in-floor system.

To give you complete peace of mind, we can design these systems with:

• Electric Backup Boilers: To make sure your home stays warm during historic, sub-zero winter freezes.
• Heat Pump Water Heaters: Giving you sustainable, low-cost hot water for your showers and appliances.
• All-Electric Blueprints: Perfect for modern communities that are moving away from natural gas lines.

Cold Climate Air-to-Air Heat Pumps

An air-to-air heat pump handles both your heating and cooling needs through a single, streamlined system. Instead of burning fuel to create heat, it simply moves warmth into your home during the winter and pumps it out during the summer. These systems are ideal for:

• Families who want custom temperature settings for different rooms using smart thermostats.
• Seasonal homeowners who want a highly reliable system they can easily monitor from a smartphone app while away.
• Builders looking for a compact, flexible cooling and heating option that doesn’t require bulky ductwork cutting through ceilings.

Sustainable Geothermal Systems

For the absolute highest level of energy efficiency, geothermal systems utilize the stable, natural temperature of the earth. By burying a loop of pipes deep underground, a geothermal heat pump pulls warmth from the earth in the winter and pushes heat back into the ground to cool your home in the summer.

We design and install multiple geothermal styles:

• Air-to-Air Geothermal: A complete, ducted system that replaces a traditional furnace and AC unit.
• Air-to-Water Geothermal: The perfect match for driving a luxury radiant in-floor heating system.
• Water-to-Water Geothermal: Heavy-duty setups designed for large custom estates or commercial properties.

While a geothermal system requires a larger initial investment to install the underground loops, it delivers massive utility savings month after month, boasts an incredibly long lifespan, and operates as the greenest climate choice available.
