Comprehensive HVAC design solutions—faster, smarter, and always code-compliant.
Manual J – Load Calculations
We calculate precise heating and cooling loads for your project by analyzing insulation, windows, layout, and climate data. This ensures your HVAC system is neither oversized nor undersized—lowering energy bills, reducing equipment issues, and improving comfort.
Manual S – Equipment Selection
Using Manual J results, we select the right HVAC equipment for your project. This prevents costly oversizing or undersizing mistakes, ensures efficiency, and guarantees your system meets performance and code requirements.
Manual D – Ductwork Design
We engineer duct systems that deliver balanced airflow throughout the home. Every layout meets ACCA standards, reducing noise, minimizing energy loss, and ensuring comfort in every room.
Manual T – Air Distribution
We determine the ideal size and placement of supply registers and return grilles for consistent airflow and maximum comfort. This eliminates hot/cold spots and ensures smooth operation.
REScheck Compliance Reports
We provide REScheck reports to verify energy efficiency and meet IECC code requirements. These reports simplify permitting and help your projects pass inspection on the first submission.
Gas Line Sizing
We calculate and size natural gas piping based on demand, distance, and code requirements. This ensures safety, compliance, and reliable delivery to all appliances.

What exactly does Go Custom Duct Design do?
We provide engineered HVAC ductwork designs, Manual J/S/D/T calculations, REScheck compliance reports, and gas line sizing for builders, contractors, and homeowners. Our goal is to deliver fast, accurate, and affordable designs that pass inspection the first time.
Do you work with both builders and individual homeowners?
Yes. We support large track home builders, custom home builders, HVAC contractors, and families building their own homes. If your project needs HVAC design, we can help.
What are Manual J, S, D, and T calculations?
These are industry-standard engineering protocols used to properly size equipment, design ductwork, and ensure comfort and efficiency. They’re required by code in most jurisdictions.
What is a REScheck and why do I need it?
REScheck is a compliance report that verifies your home meets energy efficiency standards required by building codes. It’s often mandatory for permitting and helps ensure your build passes inspection smoothly.
Can you size gas lines for my project?
Yes. We calculate gas pipe sizing to ensure safe and code-compliant fuel delivery for all appliances. This is critical for both performance and safety.
How quickly can you deliver designs?
Most single-home projects are completed in 3–5 business days. Larger or multi-home developments may take longer, but we always provide a clear timeline upfront.
Why should I choose Go Custom Duct Design instead of hiring in-house?
Hiring in-house is costly and time-consuming. We deliver the same expertise (if not more), at a fraction of the cost, and on a much faster timeline. Plus, you only pay when you need us—no salaries, benefits, or overhead.
How do I get started?
We’re available to answer your questions most of the time. Simply give us a call, send an email, or even shoot us a text. Once we understand your project needs, we’ll walk you through the next steps and provide a free quote.
