Galaxy Services – Bay Area’s Trusted HVAC Experts
When it’s time to install or replace your HVAC system, most homeowners start by comparing brands: Lennox vs. Trane, Mitsubishi vs. Daikin, or Carrier vs. American Standard.
But here’s the truth that few companies will tell you:
The brand matters… but the contractor matters more.
A top-of-the-line system installed incorrectly will always underperform compared to a well-installed mid-range system.
At Galaxy Services, we’ve worked on every major brand, and we’ve seen firsthand how quality of installation makes or breaks a system’s performance.
🛠️ Why Installation Quality Is More Important Than Brand
Even the most premium heat pump or air conditioner will fail to deliver comfort and efficiency if:
- It’s the wrong size for your home
- It’s installed without proper ductwork sealing or airflow balancing
- It’s commissioned improperly, leading to short cycling or high energy use
- The refrigerant isn’t charged correctly
- The installer skips permitting or local code compliance
These mistakes lead to:
- High utility bills
- Shortened equipment lifespan
- Noise, poor airflow, and uneven temperatures
- Rebate denials
- Failed inspections or safety issues
We’ve even had to remove and reinstall brand-new systems from other contractors because they cut corners or lacked proper training.
