Elevating Home Comfort in Berkeley: Galaxy Services Installs Advanced American Standard Gold Series HVAC System
At Galaxy Heating, Air Conditioning, Solar & Electrical, we are proud to deliver cutting-edge HVAC solutions that bring long-term comfort, energy efficiency, and peace of mind to Bay Area homeowners. We recently completed a full HVAC upgrade for a family in Berkeley, featuring the newest technology from American Standard — a system that’s efficient, future-ready, and built to last.
Project Overview
- Cooling:
American Standard 5A7A7036A1000A Air Conditioner- Gold Series
- 17 SEER Efficiency
- 2-Stage, Multi-Speed Operation
- R-454B Next-Generation Refrigerant
- Heating:
American Standard S9V2B060U Furnace- 60,000 BTU Output
- 96% AFUE Efficiency
- Variable-Speed Blower Motor
This pairing ensures year-round comfort, energy savings, and smooth, quiet performance.
Why This System?
The 5A7A7036A1000A air conditioner belongs to American Standard’s respected Gold Series, offering an excellent balance between performance and value. With 2-stage cooling and a multi-speed fan, it keeps the home more consistently cool, reduces energy usage, and dramatically improves humidity control compared to older, single-stage systems.
Better yet, this model uses the new R-454B refrigerant, a major step forward for environmental responsibility. With a much lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) than R-410A, R-454B helps future-proof the home against upcoming EPA regulations and California energy standards.
The S9V2B060U furnace complements the cooling side perfectly, with two-stage heating and a variable-speed blower that provides exceptional indoor comfort while using less energy.
Installation Highlights
Our Galaxy Services team handled this project with attention to detail every step of the way:
- New Ductwork Sealing and Insulation — to optimize airflow and minimize energy loss
- Smart Thermostat Upgrade — full Wi-Fi control and customizable energy-saving schedules
- Precision Line Set Installation — using new lines compatible with R-454B for maximum system longevity
- Final System Testing — verifying airflow, refrigerant charge, and combustion safety for full peace of mind
The entire system was installed cleanly with minimal disruption to the home — and we made sure the aesthetic and noise levels of the outdoor unit fit seamlessly into the homeowner’s beautiful Walnut Creek property.
