At Clear Efficiency, we apply 30 years of building science principles mastering HVAC and duct systems. As the 2024 SMUD Home Performance Program’s top contractor, we deliver unmatched comfort, lower energy bills, and a sustainable future.

Why Heat Pumps Are the Future for Sacramento Homes

Heat pumps are the gold standard for heating and cooling in the Sacramento Valley’s mild winters and hot summers. Unlike gas furnaces, which can overheat, dry out your home, or pose carbon monoxide risks, heat pumps provide:
  • Energy Efficiency: Electric heat pumps are 100% efficient, using less energy than gas furnaces in milder climates like ours.
  • Precise Comfort: Variable-speed technology maintains your home’s temperature within 0.5°F of your thermostat setting, with optimal humidity control.
  • Quiet Operation: Our systems run as low as 40% capacity, making them whisper-quiet compared to single-stage units.
  • Future-Proof Savings: Pair with solar panels to lock in energy costs, aligning with Sacramento’s all-electric building codes (effective 2023) and California’s solar mandate (since 2021).
Competitors often install single-stage systems, which cycle on and off at full power, leading to temperature swings, higher energy use, and more wear and tear. Our variable-speed systems adjust output dynamically, saving energy and enhancing comfort for the long haul.

Our Premium HVAC Systems: Lennox and Bosch

We exclusively offer two industry-leading, variable-speed heat pump systems that qualify for generous rebates and tax credits. Both the Bosch inverter-driven systems and Lennox variable-speed systems are engineered for efficiency, durability, and comfort, setting them apart from the single-stage equipment many competitors sell.

Lennox Variable-Speed Systems

  • Lennox systems deliver precision comfort and are recognized for innovation, like the award-winning SL25XPV. They also qualify for the $2,000 federal tax credit and $2,000 instant rebate.
    • Top-Tier Performance: Up to 24 SEER and 11.8 HSPF, offering exceptional efficiency even in low temperatures.

    • Enhanced Comfort: Modulating technology ensures consistent temperatures and better humidity control than single-stage or two-stage systems.

    • Smart Connectivity: Pairs with communicating thermostats for remote monitoring and energy optimization.

    Our competitors may offer cheaper single-stage systems, but these lack the efficiency, comfort, and longevity of our Bosch and Lennox solutions. Single-stage units consume more energy, create uneven temperatures, and require more frequent repairs, costing you more over time.

Bosch Inverter-Driven Systems

Bosch heat pumps use cutting-edge inverter technology, leveraging Mitsubishi compressors for unmatched performance. These systems qualify for a $2,000 federal tax credit and SMUD’s $2,000 instant rebate.

  • Superior Efficiency: Achieve up to 20 SEER2 and 9.5 HSPF2, reducing energy bills significantly compared to single-stage units.

  • Ultra-Quiet Operation: Sound levels as low as 56 dB, quieter than a human conversation, ideal for peaceful homes.

  • Flexible Compatibility: Works with most thermostats, avoiding costly proprietary controls required by some brands.

Airtight, Insulated Ducts: The Key to Efficiency

Leaky ducts waste energy and compromise comfort. Unlike competitors who overlook ductwork quality, we prioritize airtight, insulated systems:
  • Sealed Connections: We meticulously seal every duct joint to prevent air leaks, keeping conditioned air where it belongs.
  • Deep-Buried Ducts: Our flexible ducts, with R-8 insulation, are installed near the attic floor and buried in 20 inches of loose-fill insulation for maximum efficiency.
  • Proven Results: SMUD’s trust in our duct-sealing methods backs their rebates, as they know it delivers real energy savings.
Poorly sealed or uninsulated ducts, common in competitor installations, can lose up to 30% of your HVAC system’s energy. Our approach ensures every dollar you spend on heating and cooling works for you.
