Decoding Energy Efficiency Ratings

When embarking on the journey to find the perfect air conditioner, understanding energy efficiency ratings is paramount. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) serves as the industry-standard metric for evaluating an air conditioner’s efficiency.

      We recently had our heating and a/c system replaced by the team from Baehr.  They were absolutely fantastic to work with.  Alex gave us lots of options to think about and also guided us through the pros and cons of each one. They were very professional and courteous throughout the process.  We highly recommend Alex, John and the whole team from Baehr.

      The owner came out himself to check out my radiant floors which I already thought was cool. When he looked at them he came to the conclusion that the zone control modules were probably shot. He told me that if I am comfortable changing them myself Id save some money, I agreed. He gave me some pointers on how to do it and the website on which I could find the products. That was 1 year ago, I finally got around to changing them and now my radiant floors work like new. Thank you guys for helping and being thoughtful. And most importantly being right.

      Props to Jay and his company! Although they were super busy and had to reschedule my appointment, it was worth the wait. He knew exactly what he was working with and got my heater working properly again. The previous company that came out (South Placer Heating and Air) gave me a wrong diagnosis for the issue and then tried to convince me I needed to replace the heat exchange or the entire HVAC unit! Thank goodness I got a second opinion, and landed someone honest. Jay saved me big time.

      Honest and reliable business. Both Johnny and Jay care about their customers and the community. They have our best interests at heart, and I highly recommend them! If I have an HVAC issue again, I know who to call. Did I mention Jay showed up on his day off when an emergency repair came up and we needed to reschedule? These guys are a stop shop. They have all the next steps available and genuinely care. Awesome front desk as well.
