Local HVAC Pros Can Keep Your Home Comfortable
If you have noticed your heating and/or air conditioning system losing its effectiveness over the years, it might be time to re-evaluate its components. No matter the quality of an AC unit or how well it’s maintained, in time it will begin to struggle due to age and use. In addition, some homeowners opt to make a change simply due to how energy efficient modern HVAC systems are in comparison to dated units.
The thought of replacing an entire heating and cooling system can induce stressful feelings due to the assumed inconvenience and cost of such an undertaking. In some cases, completely replacing or installing an all new system is necessary, but in order to lessen the financial and structural impact it’s possible to retrofit in many instances.
In order to determine if your home’s current HVAC system is eligible for a retrofit, it’s essential to work with an experienced professional to assess the situation and make recommendations on what steps to take. Our company is proud to serve HVAC needs of people in the East Bay Area, including Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek and the surrounding areas. With years of experience, the proper licensure and a customer-focused mindset, our team wants to be your go-to resource for all things HVAC-related.
When it comes to retrofitting, the first step we take is to evaluate what components a home currently has for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Depending on the needs of your space, the climate where you live and your personal and budgetary needs, we can evaluate your system and make a recommendation to optimize your current HVAC system through a retrofit.
In most cases, there are a couple options we can work with when retrofitting: modifying or adding to an existing central air conditioning system or working with a ductless solution.
If your home already has central air, a retrofit generally makes a lot of sense. Our team can evaluate the effectiveness, cleanliness and efficiency of your current duct system, make adjustments where necessary and then simply install a new air conditioning unit to your existing ducts. This solution is the most common way to retrofit, and our team has a vast amount of experience installing new units. In this scenario, we can go over different options and help you select the unit which works best for your home’s needs.
If your home does not have a central air system, it would be too invasive to add ducts or you want to avoid the cost of adding central air, ductless systems can offer an effective alternative. These systems, also known as mini-splits, offer cooling solutions in spaces within your home, rather than cooling the entire house. Since they don’t require ducts, they can be easily installed and are more cost-effective than central air systems.
If your current air conditioning system is struggling to keep your home cool in the summer, warm in the winter and produce sufficient air quality year-round, a retrofit might make sense. To speak with one of our experts and schedule an introductory appointment, give us a call today.
