Elk Grove — Full HVAC Replacement, 4-Ton Split System

Residential1 DaySplit System

18-year-old furnace and air conditioner replaced with a modern 4-ton, 16 SEER split system. Old equipment was rusted through and the AC compressor had failed mid-summer. Homeowner wanted reliable cooling before a family reunion. We provided a fixed-price quote on Tuesday, equipment was ordered and installed by Friday — one day, clean finish.

Result: Customer reported 30% lower summer electric bills. "The house has never been this comfortable. The new system is so much quieter than the old one."

Folsom — Multi-Zone Mini-Split Install for ADU

Residential2 DaysMini-Split

New 400 sq ft accessory dwelling unit needed independent heating and cooling. We installed a dual-zone ductless mini-split system — one indoor head for the main living area, one for the bedroom. Outdoor condenser was placed on a discreet side wall with lines concealed in slim duct.

Result: ADU is now fully conditioned year-round. Tenant reports consistent temperature in both rooms. System qualified for local utility efficiency rebate.

Sacramento — Commercial Rooftop Unit Replacement

Commercial3 DaysRooftop

50-ton rooftop package unit serving a 15,000 sq ft office building in downtown Sacramento. Original unit was 25 years old, leaking refrigerant, and tripping breakers. We coordinated a weekend install to avoid business disruption. Old unit was crane-removed, new unit crane-set, duct connections rebuilt, and system commissioned by Monday morning.

Result: Building occupants returned Monday to working AC. Property manager reported zero tenant complaints and 40% reduction in energy consumption per square foot.

Roseville — Full System Replacement, 3-Ton Heat Pump

Residential1.5 DaysHeat Pump

14-year-old gas furnace and AC replaced with a high-efficiency heat pump. Homeowner wanted to eliminate gas usage and qualify for federal tax credits. We sized the system with a Manual J load calculation and installed a variable-speed heat pump with new communicating thermostat. Ductwork was inspected and sealed as part of the project.

Result: Homeowner eliminated gas bill entirely during shoulder seasons. Eligible for $2,000 federal tax credit. "The system adjusts itself — we barely notice it running."

Rocklin — Roof Package Unit Replacement

Residential1 DayPackage Unit

22-year-old rooftop package unit on a single-story home was making loud grinding noises and barely cooling. Compressor had seized. We replaced it with a new 3-ton, 15 SEER gas-electric package unit. Roof curb was inspected and resealed to prevent leaks.

Result: New system is whisper-quiet compared to the old unit. Cooling restored same day. Homeowner noted immediate improvement in evenness of temperature throughout the house.

Davis — Inverter Heat Pump Installation

Residential2 DaysInverter

17-year-old split system replaced with a variable-speed inverter heat pump. Homeowner is an engineer who researched efficiency ratings extensively. We installed a top-tier inverter system with SEER2 rating above 20, paired with an air handler that modulates airflow to match demand.

Result: Customer tracks energy usage meticulously and reports a 45% reduction in HVAC energy consumption. "The temperature doesn't fluctuate anymore — it's exactly 72°F in every room all the time."

Citrus Heights — Full HVAC Replacement, 5-Ton Split System

Residential2 DaysSplit System

Large two-story home with a 20-year-old 5-ton system. Upstairs was always 8-10 degrees warmer than downstairs. We performed a Manual J load calculation and confirmed the existing 5-ton sizing, but added a zoning damper system to balance airflow between floors. New 5-ton, 17 SEER two-stage system installed.

Result: Upstairs and downstairs now stay within 2 degrees of each other. "For the first time in 10 years, we can use the upstairs bedrooms in August without portable fans."

Truckee — Cold-Climate Heat Pump Install

Residential2.5 DaysCold-Climate HP

Mountain cabin at 6,200 ft elevation needed a heating system that could handle sub-zero winter temperatures. We installed a cold-climate heat pump rated to -15°F with electric backup strips for extreme cold snaps. Outdoor unit was elevated on a stand to stay above snow accumulation.

Result: System performed flawlessly through a winter with multiple nights below 0°F. Homeowner saved over $800 in propane costs during the first heating season. "We didn't touch the propane thermostat once."

Rancho Cordova — Commercial Multi-Unit Replacement

Commercial3 WeeksMulti-Unit

60-unit apartment complex HVAC replacement. Property management needed all units upgraded from aging wall furnaces and window ACs to central HVAC. We phased the work in groups of 8-10 units at a time, coordinating with tenants for minimal disruption. Each unit received a new 2-ton split system.

Result: All 60 units completed on schedule. Property manager reported 60% reduction in HVAC maintenance calls and 35% reduction in tenant complaints about temperature. Renewal rate improved the following lease cycle.

Lincoln — New Construction HVAC Install

Residential3 DaysNew Construction

New 2,800 sq ft home build needed a full HVAC system from scratch. We designed and installed a complete system including 4-ton two-stage heat pump, new ductwork throughout, zoning for upstairs/downstairs, fresh air ventilation, and a whole-home air purification system.

Result: System balanced perfectly on startup. Homeowner passed title 24 energy compliance testing on first attempt. "The air in this house feels fresher than any home I've lived in."
