Buying a New Build Without HVAC Air Conditioning? Here’s What Happens Next

Air conditioner season is coming — and every year the first calls I receive are from homeowners in brand-new construction homes. When you buy a new build, air conditioning is often optional. Some builders include it as an upgrade. Some don’t offer it at all. And many homeowners decide to skip it during the purchase because adding it to the mortgage doesn’t feel necessary at the time. But skipping it doesn’t eliminate the decision. It simply delays it. In this video, I visit a newer construction home where the homeowners chose not to add air conditioning during the build. We walk through: • Why many buyers decline AC at the builder stage • How budget psychology affects early home decisions • Why unfinished basements make installation easier later • Why natural gas homes often don’t need a heat pump upgrade • How ordering in winter avoids summer pressure This wasn’t an emergency call. There was no breakdown. No panic. No heat wave. They simply wanted to make a calm decision before summer arrived. That’s the difference between reacting and preparing. If you’re buying a new construction home — or already moved into one without air conditioning — this is what typically happens next. Most homeowners don’t regret the equipment they choose. They regret waiting until the weather chooses for them.
