Type of work performed: Replacement of gas heating system
Area of the apartment: 220m²
Material/technique used: Daikin high-efficiency heat pump system with Enphase IQ System Controller and solar integration
Location: Hillsborough, California
A homeowner in Hillsborough, California, was dealing with an outdated gas furnace—noisy, inefficient, and unable to maintain consistent indoor temperatures. They sought a modern, environmentally responsible solution. We provided a comprehensive upgrade: replacing the fossil-fuel system with a high-efficiency Daikin heat pump and integrating it with a solar energy system controlled via Enphase IQ technology.
The existing gas furnace caused uneven heating, noise pollution, and excessive energy use. Transitioning to a heat pump with solar integration required detailed planning to ensure system compatibility and optimal energy performance.
We began by decommissioning the gas furnace and preparing the infrastructure for the Daikin heat pump system. The chosen model features high SEER2 ratings, low noise levels, and full compatibility with intelligent control systems. To support the new HVAC setup, we installed a rooftop solar array and Enphase IQ System Controller to enable seamless energy monitoring and smart load management.
The installation included inverter configuration, synchronization between the heat pump and solar generation, and system calibration. With the Enphase platform, the homeowner can now monitor system performance, adjust climate settings, and track energy production—all from a mobile device.
The result is a quiet, energy-efficient, all-electric home. Comfort levels improved instantly, and reliance on natural gas was eliminated, aligning with the homeowner’s sustainability goals
Benefits at a Glance:
- Cost Savings: $5,500 in rebates and significant monthly utility bill reductions
- Year-Round Comfort: Consistent indoor temperatures and whisper-quiet operation
- Eco-Friendly Living: 100% electric – no fossil fuels required
- Smart Control: Fully integrated mobile app for remote temperature control
This project showcases how modern HVAC systems, like Daikin’s, combined with solar energy and smart control solutions, can deliver efficient, future-ready home comfort.
We selected a high-efficiency Daikin heat pump for its proven reliability, advanced variable-speed compressor, and seamless integration with solar technology. The system ensures precise temperature control while minimizing grid dependency—an ideal match for eco-conscious homeowners in California.
To maintain system performance, filters should be cleaned or replaced every 1–3 months. Schedule professional servicing annually. Use the Daikin smart thermostat to implement energy-saving schedules, and monitor your solar energy production year-round for maximum efficiency.
