HVAC Project Gallery

Most HVAC company galleries are stock photos. Ours isn’t. Every project below was installed by the Aegis crew on a real Salt Lake County home or business — same crews you’ll meet on your job, same standards we apply on every install. We post these because the parts of the work most homeowners never see — line set routing, condensate pitch, sealed return drops, gas line straps, flue terminations — are exactly the parts that determine whether a system lasts 8 years or 20.

If you’d like to walk through a project in person, we can usually arrange a visit to a recently completed install in your area. Call (385) 250-0687 to ask.

Furnace Installations

High-efficiency condensing furnaces, mid-efficiency 80% replacements, and tight-clearance retrofits in older Salt Lake homes. Every furnace install includes combustion analysis, draft verification, and static pressure measurement before we leave the site.

High-efficiency Trane furnace install in a Hunter neighborhood basement mechanical room, West Valley City — **96% AFUE Trane two-stage furnace**
Hunter, West Valley City
*Full changeout from an 80% atmospheric unit with new venting through the rim joist. Static pressure measured at 0.42″ w.c. on commissioning. Installed by Travis Hollings.*

Lennox condensing furnace in a Taylorsville mechanical closet with new PVC venting — **Lennox SLP99V variable-speed furnace**
Bennion, Taylorsville
*Replaced a 22-year-old single-stage unit in a tight mechanical closet. Required custom return drop and condensate routing to the floor drain.*

Furnace install in a 1950s bungalow in the Avenues, Salt Lake City — **Carrier Infinity 98% furnace**
The Avenues, Salt Lake City
*1950s bungalow retrofit. Existing flue was abandoned; new direct-vent assembly run through the rim. Combustion analysis confirmed 0 ppm CO at high-fire.*

Two-stage furnace install in a West Jordan new build — **Bryant Evolution 90% two-stage furnace**
Westland, West Jordan
*New construction install with dual-fuel heat pump pairing. Sized off a Manual J load calc, not square-footage rule of thumb.*

Air Conditioning & Heat Pump Installations

Central AC, two-stage condensers, and variable-capacity inverter-driven heat pumps. At our 4,300-foot elevation, equipment has to be sized differently than the manufacturer’s nominal tonnage suggests — we run elevation-corrected load calcs on every install to avoid the short-cycling problem we see on systems other contractors size by square footage alone.

Trane XV20i variable-speed condenser on a poured pad in West Valley City backyard — **Trane XV20i variable-speed condenser**
Granger, West Valley City
*3-ton variable-capacity unit on a fresh poured pad. Lineset routed inside the wall cavity, sealed at both penetrations.*

Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat heat pump install in a Magna home — **Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat dual-fuel heat pump**
Pleasant Green, Magna
*Cold-climate inverter-driven heat pump rated for full capacity at -13°F. Paired with existing gas furnace for backup during deep inversions. Installed by Patrick Dugger.*

Carrier Infinity condenser on rooftop pad with hail guards, Salt Lake City — **Carrier Infinity 19 SEER condenser**
Sugar House, Salt Lake City
*Older home retrofit. New disconnect, surge protector at the disconnect, hail guards on the coil. Refrigerant charged by superheat method.*

Lennox condenser install with new lineset in a Kearns home — **Lennox XC21 two-stage condenser**
Western Hills, Kearns
*Full lineset replacement with the install — we don’t reuse old linesets on R-410A retrofits. New filter drier, properly torqued flares, vacuum pulled to 500 microns and held.*

Ductless Mini-Split Installations

Ductless work in additions, finished basements, garage offices, and historic homes where running ductwork isn’t practical. Lineset routing, condensate pitch, and wall-penetration sealing are where ductless installs go wrong most often — and where we spend the most time on the front end.

Mitsubishi wall-cassette ductless head in a finished basement, Taylorsville — **Mitsubishi MUZ-FH multi-zone ductless system**
Westvale, Taylorsville
*Three indoor heads serving a finished basement, addition, and primary bedroom. Lineset run through a chase to keep the exterior wall clean.*

Daikin ductless heads in a historic Avenues bungalow — **Daikin Aurora cold-climate ductless**
The Avenues, Salt Lake City
*1920s bungalow with no existing ductwork. Wall-mounted heads on the main level, ceiling cassette in the basement. Installed by Jordan Whitmer and Cole Bennett.*

Outdoor ductless condenser unit on wall brackets in Magna — **Multi-zone ductless outdoor unit**
Lake Point area, Magna
*Wall-bracket-mounted condenser to clear lake-effect snow drift. Lineset sleeved and pitched for proper drainage.*

Custom Ductwork & Sheet Metal

Lead installer Travis Hollings fabricates custom plenums, return drops, and transitions in-house. Most callbacks in this industry trace to bad ductwork — return air starvation, leaky joints, undersized supply trunks — so we treat sheet metal as the part of the job that determines whether the new equipment actually performs.

Custom sheet metal supply plenum with mastic-sealed joints, West Valley City — **Custom supply plenum fabrication**
Chesterfield, West Valley City
*Hand-fabricated, mastic-sealed at every joint. No tape-only seams.*

Return drop and transition in a Kearns mechanical closet — **Return-air transition**
Oquirrh Park, Kearns
*Sized to the air handler’s required return area. Static pressure verified post-install.*

Properly strapped flex duct runs in a Salt Lake City attic — **Attic supply runs**
Rose Park, Salt Lake City
*R-8 flex strapped every 4 feet, no compression, fully extended. Boots sealed at the ceiling penetration.*

Commercial & Rooftop Units

Light commercial work for retail, office, and restaurant spaces across Salt Lake County. Rooftop unit replacements, package unit installs, and curb adapter fabrication for non-standard footprints.

Carrier rooftop unit being set by crane on a West Valley City retail building — **5-ton Carrier rooftop unit changeout**
Retail strip on Redwood Road, West Valley City
*Crane set on a Saturday morning to avoid business disruption. Custom curb adapter fabricated in-house to match a non-standard footprint.*

Lennox commercial package unit on a Taylorsville office building roof — **Lennox L Series package unit**
Office building near 5400 South, Taylorsville
*Office building retrofit. Economizer commissioned and verified for free-cooling operation during shoulder seasons.*

Multi-unit rooftop install on a Salt Lake City commercial building — **Three-unit rooftop changeout**
Mixed-use building on State Street, Salt Lake City
*Phased over a weekend to keep the tenant operational. Each unit individually commissioned and balanced.*

Indoor Air Quality Installations

Whole-home filtration, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, UV light treatment, and ERV/HRV ventilation. Salt Lake’s persistent winter inversions — documented by the Utah Division of Air Quality — make whole-home filtration a more meaningful investment here than in most parts of the country.

MERV-16 media air cleaner installed on the return drop of a Trane furnace — **Aprilaire 5000 electronic air cleaner**
Stonebridge, West Valley City
*MERV-16 equivalent filtration with low static pressure penalty. Installed for a household with respiratory sensitivity during inversion season.*

Whole-home bypass humidifier mounted on a supply plenum, Kearns — **Bypass humidifier with humidistat**
Kearns (5400 W / 5400 S area)
*Wasatch Front winter air drops below 15% relative humidity for weeks. This system holds the home between 35–45% RH.*

UV light air treatment installed inside the air handler, Taylorsville — **UV-C light air treatment**
Plymouth View, Taylorsville
*Coil-mounted UV-C lamp paired with a media cleaner. Reduces biological growth on the evaporator and improves coil heat transfer over time.*

Before & After

The difference between a 22-year-old, oversized, atmospheric-vent furnace and a properly sized modern condensing unit isn’t always visible from the thermostat — but it’s obvious from the equipment room.

Old 1990s furnace with corroded venting and dusty cabinet — **BEFORE — 1996 Coleman furnace, Magna**
*22 years old, oversized for the home, atmospheric draft, single-stage. Original return drop was undersized — measured static pressure was 1.1″ w.c., nearly double the manufacturer’s spec.*

New Lennox condensing furnace with new return drop and PVC venting — **AFTER — Lennox SLP99V two-stage condensing furnace, Magna**
Right-sized off Manual J load calc, new return drop, PVC direct-venting. Final commissioned static pressure: 0.48″ w.c. Home heats more evenly, blower runs quieter, gas consumption dropped roughly 28% on the first full winter.

The Parts You’ll Never See

Most of what makes an HVAC system last is invisible from the living room. Photos below are the details we obsess over on every job.

Lineset hangers — straight, properly spaced, no sags that pool oil in the suction line
Condensate pitch — minimum ¼” per foot, supported, sloped to the drain
Gas line straps — every 6 feet on horizontal runs, properly grounded
Flue terminations — clearance from openable windows, fresh air intakes, and adjacent property lines verified to Utah code
Sealed return drops — mastic, not tape, at every joint
Properly torqued flares — ½” SAE flare torqued to 26 ft-lbs, ⅝” to 38 ft-lbs, every connection
Refrigerant charge verification — superheat on fixed-orifice systems, subcool on TXV systems, never by gauge pressure alone

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all gallery photos actual Aegis Heating and Air installs? Yes. Every photo on this page was taken on a job site by our crew. We don’t use stock photography or manufacturer marketing images. If you’d like to see a project in person — particularly if you’re considering similar equipment for your own home — we can usually arrange a walkthrough at a recently completed install. Can I see a project that’s similar to what I’m considering for my home? Often, yes. Call (385) 250-0687 and tell us what equipment you’re considering and what part of Salt Lake County you live in. We’ll check whether we have a recent install in your area that we can arrange a visit to, with the homeowner’s permission. Do you provide photos of completed work to your own customers? Yes. Every Aegis install includes documentation photos of the finished system, commissioning measurements (static pressure, refrigerant charge, combustion analysis on gas equipment), and any code-required items like flue terminations and gas line work. Photos are emailed to the homeowner at job completion for their records and for any future warranty claims. What’s the most important thing to look at in an HVAC gallery photo? The details a homeowner usually overlooks: lineset routing (straight, supported, no kinks), condensate pitch (visible slope toward the drain), gas line strapping (every 6 feet on horizontal runs), and how the return drop ties into the air handler. These details predict whether a system runs efficiently for 5 years or 20. A pretty front cabinet doesn’t tell you much; the mechanical room does. Will my install look like the ones in this gallery? If we install it, yes. Our crew works to the same standards on a $4,000 furnace replacement as on a $30,000 commercial rooftop project. The visible quality you see in this gallery — sealed return drops, straight lineset routing, custom plenum fabrication, properly torqued connections — is the baseline for every Aegis job.
