Recent Indoor Air Quality Work in Concord
Here are examples of recent HVAC projects completed in Concord neighborhoods similar to yours:
Installed an American Standard variable-speed heat pump system (model Platinum 18 with AccuComfort technology) in a 2,200 sq ft Todos Santos home. The new 18 SEER2 system replaced a 17-year-old AC and gas furnace, providing whisper-quiet operation, superior dehumidification, and reducing energy costs by approximately 43%. The homeowner qualified for $2,100 in Bay Area heat pump rebates and federal tax credits.
Replaced an aging 13 SEER AC with a high-efficiency 17 SEER2 Carrier variable-speed heat pump in a 1,900 sq ft Clayton Valley home. The old system struggled during Concord's 95°F summer days and ran constantly, driving up electric bills. The new heat pump maintains consistent comfort even during peak heat while reducing cooling costs by 35%.
Installed a Mitsubishi ductless multi-zone system (model MXZ-3C24 with 3 wall-mounted units) in a renovated downtown Concord townhome with no existing ductwork. The new inverter-driven system provides independent temperature control for each level, delivers efficient heating and cooling year-round, and operates quietly-important in the townhome's close-quarters setting.
