Sometimes replacing the HVAC system isn't enough.
This home in Poway had a 20+ year-old HVAC system that was ready for replacement, and not just because of its age.
For the last 20 years, the system was never getting enough airflow, which led to multiple misdiagnosed repairs and extra headaches.
Our project manager, Kevin, discovered that the return air openings were too small for a 4-ton system, which can make an HVAC system work harder, run less efficiently, and struggle to keep the home comfortable.
Instead of just swapping in new equipment and leaving the same problem behind, we redesigned the setup. We relocated the indoor unit to the attic, added a much larger return, upgraded the ductwork, and installed a new high-efficiency 4-ton heat pump system designed for better airflow and quieter, more efficient operation.
Even better, the homeowner qualified for our Summer Buyback Program and saved $2,800 on the replacement.
Their new system includes a variable-speed air handler, 18+ SEER side-discharge heat pump, Wi-Fi thermostat, 4" MERV 11 media filter, 10-year parts and labor coverage, and 5 years of free service, because we know this system is built to last.
If your AC seems to run constantly but certain rooms still never feel quite right, you might have an airflow issue.
Better equipment. Better airflow. And a system designed to work the way it's supposed to.
