New Construction
Ground-up single-family homes and ADUs engineered for high-desert thermal swings — slab, frame, mechanicals, finishes, and the CO in between.
We are On The Way AC Plumbing & Electric — a Santa Fe, New Mexico contractor handling the trades most homeowners piece together from three different phone calls. New builds, full renovations, mechanical systems and the finish work that decides whether a room feels done or just drywalled.
On The Way AC Plumbing & Electric started as a two-person HVAC and plumbing outfit running service calls across the Santa Fe plateau. Over fourteen years we grew into a full construction and remodeling contractor because our clients kept asking the same question — can you just handle the whole thing?
Today we run new builds, gut renovations, additions, mechanical retrofits and the detail work that closes out a job. That means one estimate, one schedule, one crew that knows where the ductwork runs before the drywall goes up. No finger-pointing between trades when something leaks at eleven p.m. in January.
Six scopes, one phone number. Indicative pricing below reflects typical Santa Fe jobs in 2025 — your estimate is fixed before we pick up a tool.
Ground-up single-family homes and ADUs engineered for high-desert thermal swings — slab, frame, mechanicals, finishes, and the CO in between.
Whole-home gut renovations, kitchens, baths and casita conversions. We protect what stays, demo what doesn't, and rebuild with materials that survive Santa Fe's dry cycles.
High-efficiency furnaces, evaporative coolers, mini-splits and central AC sized for 7,000-ft altitude. Service, replacement and new installs with Manual J load calcs.
Repipes, tankless water heaters, fixture swaps, drain line replacement and freeze-protection for homes on the mesa. Camera inspection and trenchless options available.
Panel upgrades to 200A, EV charger installs, whole-house surge protection, recessed lighting and dedicated circuits for additions. Code-compliant, permit-ready.
Fixed-scope estimates with line-item pricing, plus the finish work — viga repairs, plaster, tile, trim, cabinetry — that turns a build into a home you can move into.
A small sample from the last eighteen months — adobe renovations, new builds on the south side, and mechanical retrofits across the plateau.
Four steps. No surprise change orders, no mystery line items. You will always know what we are doing, what it costs, and when we will be on site.
We walk the property, measure, and listen. Most visits take under an hour. Free for any job inside the Santa Fe metro area.
A line-item quote with materials, labor, permits and a real schedule. Good for thirty days. No “allowances” that balloon later.
One crew, weekly check-ins, photos at every milestone. Permits pulled, inspections scheduled, dust contained where we can.
Punch list, final walkthrough, warranty paperwork. Five-year workmanship coverage on structural and mechanical work we install.
Fill out the form and we will be back to you within one business day with a site-visit window. For urgent HVAC or plumbing issues — no heat in winter, a burst line, an AC out in July — call us directly and we will route a tech the same day across the Santa Fe area.
