Galaxy Services Brings Efficient Comfort to Moraga: American Standard Silver 15 and Ultra-Low NOx Furnace Installation
At Galaxy Heating, Air Conditioning, Solar & Electrical, we believe every home deserves a reliable, energy-saving HVAC system — and we’re excited to share another successful project! We recently completed a full HVAC system upgrade for a customer in Moraga, featuring the American Standard Silver 15 series air conditioner paired with a new Ultra Low NOx high-performance gas furnace.
Here’s a look at what we installed:
Project Overview
- Cooling:
American Standard Silver 15 Split Air Conditioner- 3 Ton Capacity
- 15 SEER2 Efficiency
- 2-Stage, Multi-Speed Operation
- R-454B Refrigerant (Environmentally Friendly and Future-Ready)
- Product Number: 5A7A5036
- Heating:
American Standard ULN Series Furnace- 80,000 BTU Output
- 80% AFUE Efficiency
- Single-Stage Gas Valve + ECM Motor (Electronically Commutated Motor for Energy Savings)
- Ultra Low NOx Certified — compliant with the latest California Air Quality Regulations
- Product Number: L8V1B080U4VSB
Why This System?
The Silver 15 air conditioner delivers a perfect balance of performance and affordability, achieving strong 15 SEER2 efficiency while using the new R-454B refrigerant — offering lower environmental impact and aligning with upcoming federal and state standards.
The L8V1B080U4VSB furnace takes it a step further. It’s an Ultra Low NOx model, meaning it produces dramatically fewer nitrogen oxide emissions compared to older furnaces — helping reduce smog, improving community air quality, and fully complying with California’s strict new regulations. This was especially important for our Moraga customer, who wanted an installation that wouldn’t just meet today’s rules, but also stay ahead of future air quality requirements.
And thanks to the ECM blower motor, the furnace runs quieter and uses less electricity compared to traditional systems.
