New Heat Pump Installation in Santa Clara, CA

In June 2026, Upgrade Home Services installed a new high-efficiency heat pump system in a Santa Clara, CA home, replacing the existing HVAC equipment. We upgraded the thermostat wiring, added a new drain system with safety protection, flushed the refrigerant lines and fully commissioned the system for reliable heating and cooling.
