In June 2025, a homeowner from Italy reached out about his $6 million custom home in Truckee, California. He wanted it to be super efficient and gave us full control to redesign the HVAC system.
The Problem
The HVAC system, installed by the general contractor, was too big. It had two 5-ton units that ran for only 10 minutes before shutting off due to safety features. This made the house uncomfortable and wasted energy.
The Solution
We spent a week diagnosing the issues. We replaced the two 5-ton systems with two 3-ton Champion Dual Fuel Heat Pump systems, perfect for all weather. We also redesigned the ductwork for better airflow, added new insulation, and installed smart thermostats and zoning boards.
The Result
The home became comfortable and energy-efficient. The homeowner was thrilled with our work and loved his upgraded house.
