Installed a Lennox variable-speed heat pump system (model EL20XCV with variable-speed air handler) in a 3,200 sq ft custom home in Ruby Hill, Pleasanton.

Replaced a 16-year-old 13 SEER AC with a high-efficiency 18 SEER2 Carrier variable-speed heat pump in a 2,400 sq ft Mohr Park home. The old system struggled during Pleasanton's hottest summer days.
