FAQs
What are the advantages of ductless HVAC technology and when should it be used?
Ductless HVAC technology offers many potential benefits for homeowners. Units can be zoned to maximize energy efficiency when cooling specific rooms or areas of the home. They provide a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional whole-home systems thanks to their design, the lack of energy loss via ductwork, and can help reduce heating and cooling bills. Overall, multi-zone ductless installations can be a strong option for homeowners seeking cost-effective and energy-efficient options for controlling the climate of their home. This technology is ideal for new home additions, converted attics and garages, outdoor guest cottages, and for retrofitting historical homes with no existing ductwork. A multi-zone system with several outdoor units also can be a viable and energy-efficient alternative to central air or heat pump, depending on the region.
Why is the SEER rating on the Energy Guide different than what my contractor quoted?
The nominal SEER rating for your split cooling system may not be the same as what you were originally quoted. This is because seasonal energy-efficiency can be increased by upgrading the indoor unit to another unit of the same series. Your overall SEER rating is determined by the combination of equipment installed. Both your outdoor equipment (such as a heat pump or air conditioner) and your indoor units (such as the air handler or furnace and evaporator coil), contribute to the total SEER rating.
What equipment requires regular (or preventive) maintenance?
You should have your heating and cooling equipment tuned up by a professional annually in both the spring and the fall. If you have an air conditioner and heat pump, your service technician should inspect your fan, compressor, indoor and outdoor coils, and all refrigerant lines. For homes with boilers and furnaces, inspections should cover ductwork, pipes, dampers, valves, chimneys, registers, radiators, pumps, blowers, oil tanks, fuel lines, and all components of the boiler and furnace themselves. A full check of your systems is key for maintaining their performance in the summer and winter months and for maintaining the complete coverage of your systems limited warranty.
What are the advantages of a programmable thermostat?
Programmable thermostats offer a more accurate and efficient alternative to traditional mercury thermostats. Smart solutions empower homeowners to program their thermostats to meet their temperature needs throughout the day without ever having to touch the thermostat itself. Powerful apps are available for many solutions to empower remote control of your home climate. With the right programming, you can fully automate your home temperature routine for your convenience and comfort. Some smart home thermostats can help you save energy and may alert you or your Daikin contractor of potential problems with your system.
What is the life expectancy of my unit?
Daikin products are known for their dependable performance and are one of the longest-lasting lines of heating and cooling products on the market today. Life expectancy for specific equipment models is affected by a variety of factors, including the completion of regularly scheduled routine maintenance.
