This case study explores how the company’s expertise in AC repair, HVAC installation, and air conditioner service has improved comfort and energy efficiency for clients across Plymouth, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, and Saint Louis Park.
The Challenge
In the summer of 2022, the Johnson family in Minnetonka faced a significant challenge with their aging air conditioning system. Their 15-year-old unit was struggling to maintain consistent temperatures throughout their two-story home, leading to:
- Uneven cooling between floors
- Skyrocketing energy bills
- Frequent breakdowns and repairs
- Poor indoor air quality
The Johnsons needed a comprehensive solution that would address these issues while providing long-term energy savings and improved comfort.
The Solution
After a thorough assessment of the Johnson’s home and existing HVAC system, Home Energy Center proposed a multi-faceted approach:
- Installation of a new, high-efficiency air conditioning unit
- Upgrade of the existing ductwork to improve airflow
- Implementation of a smart thermostat system for better temperature control
- Addition of a whole-home air purification system
The Home Energy Center team worked diligently to complete the installation within three days, minimizing disruption to the Johnson family’s daily routine.
The Implementation
The project began with the removal of the old AC unit and a careful inspection of the existing ductwork. The team identified and sealed leaks in the ducts, improving overall system efficiency. Next, they installed a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient air conditioner with a SEER rating of 20, significantly higher than the old unit’s rating of 10.
To address the uneven cooling issues, the technicians added zoning capabilities to the HVAC system, allowing for independent temperature control on each floor. They also installed a smart thermostat that could be programmed and controlled remotely via smartphone.
Finally, the team integrated a whole-home air purification system to improve indoor air quality and reduce allergens and pollutants.
The Results
Six months after the installation, the Johnson family reported remarkable improvements:
- Energy bills reduced by 30% compared to the previous year
- Consistent temperatures throughout the home
- Improved air quality and reduced allergy symptoms
- No breakdowns or need for repairs
The success of this project showcases Home Energy Center’s commitment to providing comprehensive HVAC solutions tailored to each client’s specific needs. By combining expert AC repair, HVAC installation, and air conditioner service, the company continues to enhance comfort and efficiency for homeowners across Plymouth, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, and Saint Louis Park, MN.
