Full Removal & Replacement of Dual Fuel Heat Pump System in Orange, CA | 3-Ton Dual Fuel Upgrade

Today we’re in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, completing a full removal and replacement of a dual fuel heat pump system.

The original equipment was a 3-ton, 10 SEER Lennox air conditioning unit installed back in 2000. Over time, the outdoor condenser ended up sitting below dirt level, causing heavy rust and corrosion. The system was also likely low on refrigerant. After more than 20 years of service, it was definitely time for a major upgrade.

Dual fuel means the homeowner can choose between gas heating or electric heat pump heating, providing flexibility based on comfort preference and energy efficiency needs.

We safely removed both old units and installed new dual fuel heat pump systems from AC Pro. This setup provides both heating and cooling in one system, improving energy efficiency, performance, and overall comfort. With this full removal and replacement, the homeowner now has a reliable system designed to provide year-round comfort for many years to come.
