HVAC contracting

High-performance HVAC, without the fog.

Heat pumps, right-sized equipment, sealed ducts, and balanced ventilation that actually matches the house. We design and install for California Title 24 and for the people who have to live with the system.

A pretty install that fails CF3R or short-cycles is still a failed job. We coordinate the mechanical with the Title 24 docs and the HERS rater so inspection is not a surprise.

Right-sizing is not a slogan. It is a load calculation, a duct layout that can actually deliver the air, and a charge that matches the outdoor unit on the pad. We do that work in Southern California, out of San Diego.

Balanced ventilation

How an ERV actually moves air.

Fresh air in, stale air out, crossing in a core so heat and moisture transfer without the two streams mixing. That is the difference between a bath fan and a system that keeps a tight house livable.
