Refreshed Heating and Cooling

June 2026: As the existing A/C system at our house is over 20 years old, it was time to replace it. I had several A/C suppliers come out and take a look and provide quotes for replacement cost which ranged up to $17,000. However, none of the folks who provided a quote took the time to ask the questions like Rich from Refreshed did. Rich took the time to look at the whole project, then recommended a highly efficient heat pump system that could integrate with our existing gas furnace (replaced two years ago because the old one died!) and combine perfectly with our solar panel system. This means we can effectively cut PG&E and their ridiculous gas pricing out of the equation and power our system with electrical, which, thanks to our solar system looks to make the new system basically free to run. The fact that Rich took the time to explore what would be best for us in the long run was very refreshing ... it's almost like he viewed our project like his own project and put forward the same suggestion he would probably install at his own home. On installation day, Installation Manager Robert sent Manny and Darwin who removed the old A/C system and integrated the new heat pump into our existing system. They did great work, even solving some minor code compliance issues and the result was a completely new and highly efficient system that is now up and running perfectly. If you are in the market for heating and cooling work, you really need to give Refreshed Heating and Cooling a call. They will help answer all your questions, and give you recommendations that meet your needs. Don't be afraid to ask them if there are other alternatives as well ... you might be surprised to learn you don't necessarily have to do a like for like swap (i.e., remove your old air conditioner and install a new air conditioner). As they did for my family, maybe you remove the old A/C system and move to a WAY MORE EFFICIENT heat pump system instead. The photo below is of the new heat pump on the side of our house: it takes up much less space than the old A/C condenser, it runs super quiet (in fact, it's hard to hear!), and again, it is so much more efficient, I anticipate our monthly utility bill will be cut down by 20% to 30% (that remains to be determined, but I am looking forward to seeing the next PG&E bill!

Met Richard Lopez at the home and garden show. He explained the new heat pump heating and cooling system. I was convinced this was the way to go for my home. He also helped find rebates that convinced me to buy the system. After financing was approved, installation was scheduled in a reasonable time. While installation was performed I notice a dent and scratch on one of the panel doors of the heating unit . The supervisor was advised and another door panel was ordered. Also while the installer was working on the return section of the heating section he was attempting to close the return section off to the second floor of my house. This should have been reviewed by the supervisor to the working crew prior to Installation. The system was installed the same day and operational. The crew did a good job of cleaning up and explaining how the new thermostat worked on my phone. I would recommend Refreshed Heating and Cooling to my family and friends.

I received a thorough inspection of my system and a recommendation for a new one. Estimate was done in a timely manner and installation occurred the following week. The crew was on time, and explained the process as the unit was being installed. Their clean up great and they were friendly and professional in their communications with me.
