Installed a Carrier variable-speed heat pump system (model Infinity 17VS with smart thermostat) in a 2,000 sq ft Old Quad home near Santa Clara University. The new 17 SEER2 system replaced a 15-year-old AC and furnace, providing app-based control, efficient cooling during Santa Clara's warm summers, quieter operation, and reducing energy costs by approximately 37%. The homeowner qualified for $1,900 in combined rebates.
Replaced an oversized 13 SEER AC with a properly-sized 16 SEER2 American Standard variable-speed heat pump in a 1,800 sq ft Northside home. The old system short-cycled and struggled with humidity. The new heat pump maintains consistent comfort, runs significantly quieter, and the homeowner reports 34% lower cooling costs during Santa Clara's warm summers.
Installed a Mitsubishi ductless multi-zone system (model MXZ-3C30 with 3 zones) in an older Mission District home with no existing ductwork.
