HVAC
Heat pumps and high-efficiency systems, sized honestly for SGV summers — the natural next step once your roof is making electricity.
Once your roof makes cheap electricity, the smartest place to spend it is on heating and cooling — the biggest load in almost every SGV home. A modern heat pump turns solar production into comfort at a fraction of what gas and grid power cost, which is why we treat HVAC as part of the same home-energy system, not a separate trade.
The industry habit is to read the tonnage off your old unit and sell you the same thing bigger. We run a proper load calculation, check the ducts, and quote the system your house actually needs — sometimes that's smaller and cheaper than what you have.
Common questions
In the SGV climate a modern heat pump usually wins: it cools like a high-efficiency AC in summer and heats far cheaper than a gas furnace in our mild winters — especially when solar is making your electricity. We quote both so you can compare real numbers.
A load calculation on your actual house — square footage, insulation, windows, ducts — not a rule of thumb off the old unit's label. Oversized systems short-cycle and cost more forever.
Yes — duct sealing, repair, and replacement. Leaky ducts throw away 20–30% of the air you paid to condition, and no new unit fixes that.
