About Cool Cat's HVAC Design

Our owner and primary designer, Catlin Homer, started out as a licensed gas-fitter, and worked to become a sheet metal worker, and air conditioning technician. With more than a decade of hands on experience, and having designed more than 500 HVAC systems to date, he is full of helpful advice that he loves to share.

In a nutshell, our experience in the real world. There is no requirement for HVAC designers to have ever been on a construction site or installed any piece of HVAC equipment before. As such, there are many designers(some good, some not as good) that create unrealistic designs or do not factor in the many components and elements that effect how well an HVAC system will function.

Having spend years visiting projects to troubleshoot and fix such issues after they had already been installed, we strive to design systems that can be installed in the real world, and not just on paper.

We design HVAC systems and provide the required documentation primarily across the entirety of Ontario. However we do also do projects on the east coast and other provinces as well.

We provide all the documentation that you might need in order to get a building/occupancy permit, within the scope of HVAC. For most municipalities, this includes:

- Heat Loss and Gain Calculation Report

- System Design Layout and equipment specification

- Ventilation Summary form

- Energy Efficiency Design Summary (EEDS form)

- Schedule 1 designer form

We tailor our packages to the requirements of your building department or your needs. For example, your building department may not require a duct design, but you would like one so that you can use it to get prices from HVAC contractors. We are happy to provide whatever combination of documentation you require.
