Mountain View
An elderly couple in Mountain View, CA 94040 contacted Air Care Heating & Cooling after their older furnace stopped working. They wanted to replace the failed furnace but preferred to stay with a traditional gas furnace rather than convert their home to a heat pump system. Air Care installed a new Ultra-Low NOx furnace. During the replacement, the team also addressed an airflow issue with the previous installation: the old furnace had the return air connected through the side of the furnace, which reduced the available return airflow and contributed to louder system operation. Adolph and Chris raised the new furnace, built a new platform, and installed a larger return-air opening to allow the system to draw air more effectively. The homeowners noticed an immediate improvement in operating noise and were very happy with how much quieter the new system was. The project passed the City of Mountain View permit inspection on the first inspection.

The existing furnace was no longer operating and needed to be replaced. The previous installation also had the return air connected through the side of the furnace, which reduced the available return airflow and contributed to louder system operation.
The homeowners chose to replace the failed furnace with a new gas furnace rather than convert the home to a heat pump system. Air Care recommended a new Ultra-Low NOx furnace, along with correcting the restrictive side-return configuration so the new system could draw return air more effectively.

The new Ultra-Low NOx furnace was installed on a raised platform with a larger return-air opening, improving system airflow.
