AIR CONDITIONER REPLACEMENT:

WHY IS DAIKIN THE TOP CHOICE OF MANY TUCSON FAMILIES?

 

A decision of long-lasting impact

We think you will agree with us that the choice of an HVAC system when it comes to air conditioning replacement should result from a methodical investigation of the many choices proposed by HVAC manufacturers and local air conditioning companies.

An air conditioning system today can cost upwards of $10,000, and large systems for big homes can cost a lot more than that. Buying a car usually involves more money, but you don’t live in your car (hopefully), and people change car every 3-4 years on average. Comparatively, an A/C system will remained installed for 12-15 years, and it is a valuation criteria for people looking to buy a home. Moreover, the sophistication of your HVAC will determine how comfortable our home is.

So there is a long-lasting impact to selecting the wrong air conditioner.

Why does D&H, one of the top-rated air conditioning companies in Tucson and Southern Arizona, choose to install the units manufactured by Daikin in our customers’ homes?

Daikin, a top international HVAC manufacturer

Daikin is not a newcomer in the HVAC industry. It is actually the #1 air conditioning manufacturer in the world with a history of 90+ years (almost a century)! Daikin has manufactured and sold millions of system across 140 countries. In the US, Daikin has its headquarters in Waller, TX, at 19001 Kermier Road.

D&H decided to carry Daikin products several years ago, when it was not yet a household name in Tucson, for the very same reasons why many of the largest HVAC contractors in the US have made the same decision:

  • Dependable, innovative technology
  • Products assembled in Texas and Tennessee
  • Products exceed local customers’ expectations

Just for these reasons, Daikin ought to be on your list of HVAC manufacturers when discussing your air conditioner replacement project.

Technological innovation

Daikin is known by the whole HVAC industry to be a technology innovator. Among the technologies developed by Daikin in the context of air conditioning, some of the most significant ones for homeowners:

  • Inverters: This is an energy-saving technology that decreases energy usage by controlling motor speed to adjust in-house temperature
  • Heat pump: This is an energy-saving technology that controls temperature by transferring outdoor heat to indoors.

Service before everything else

Daikin has made the choice of selecting highly reputable HVAC contractors to form a distribution and installation network. These contractors are called “Daikin Comfort Pros”. D&H is part of this elite group of contractors.

Here is what Daikin expect from its Comfort Pros:

“All Daikin Comfort Pro contractors seek to achieve the highest levels of customer service, business integrity, and technical competency. These range from maintaining an excellent rating with their local Better Business Bureau (BBB) to taking continuing education classes on how best to install and service Daikin brand products. To retain this status, Daikin Comfort Pros must deliver their best abilities to each and every customer, year after year.”

D&H is rated A+ at the BBB since 2003, and our reviews show clearly how much we care for our customers. Read the reviews and see our A+ Rating at the BBB here.

D&H is fully aligned with the vision declared by Daikin for homeowners in Tucson: advanced technology, significant energy savings, great customer service, and a manufacturer assembling its products in the United States.

Best warranties in the HVAC industry

Daikin offers long replacement limited warranties on their units (6 years and 12 years), a 2-year replacement limited warranty on condensing units and residential packaged units, and extended warranties. There are more specificities to these warranties than can be discussed here, but we invite you to call us at [phone] to ask any question you may have about Daikin’s manufacturer warranties, and about D&H’s contractor warranties.

Are you ready for an air conditioner replacement?

Your A/C is nearing the end, already hugely padding up your power bill, and nickel-and-diming you to death in parts and labor each time your HVAC contractor comes out to inspect it. Time to give it the boot, and replace it with a new unit.

At D&H, we believe in full and complete information of our customers, and from our customers to us, both ways. Not everyone needs the same HVAC unit. Not everybody can afford a $10,000 unit. Some homes need a 3-ton A/C, when othesr will not be cooled off correctly if they don’t have a couple of 5-ton units. We need to calculate the size of your home to determine the capacity of the A/C you need, but we also need to discuss with you the lifestyle you have, and understand how your home is built. We need to understand your budgetary constraints, and also your goals in terms of savings, etc. Information must go both ways in order to make the proper recommendation for you, your family, and your home.

When our NATE-certified HVAC technician comes to your residence to consider with you an air conditioner replacement project, all these questions will be discussed. And part of our discussion will also include the warranties on which you can count, and the rebates D&H has for you.

We would like to present you a few Daikin air conditioners to consider, and the discounts that we are running currently that you might like to benefit from.

D&H Air Conditioning & Heating

•• SPLIT-SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONER + DAIKIN FURNACE INSTALLATION ••

Air conditioner installation complete in the Rancho Vistoso, Oro Valley area, not far from the famous Honey Bee petroglyphs. Beautiful area.

In this home, we installed a Daikin DX14SN, a split system air conditioner, and pair it with a Daikin DM80 gas furnace. The pairing of the 2 units enables this split system to work at a higher efficiency rating.

An air conditioning split system enables a better control of the temperatures of the main zones of a house. Not all zones are exposed in the same way to the wind and to the sun.

Typically, in a two-story home, the 2nd floor is warmer than the ground floor. If you set your target temperature at 70°F for example, the first floor will reach this target faster than the 2nd floor, which might still be at 73°F.

Using a split-system, you set a target temperature for the whole house, but the system will cool each zone according to its needs, enablign your home to reach a uniform temperature throughout the year.

Additional comfort is a good thing!

If you have noticed differences between temperature zones in your home, call D&H for an audit of the situation. We will send you a qualified HVAC technician who will do the measurements and give you the full explanations and possible solutions you could use to even out the temperatures.

D&H Air Conditioning & Heating

•• INSTALLING EFFICIENT AIR CONDITIONING ON A BUDGET IN ORO VALLEY ••

We installed a brand-new air conditioner in the Stone Canyon area, north of Oro Valley. This installation pairs up a Daikin DX16TC whole house air conditioner with a Daikin DM80VC gas furnace.

The combination of both units is the right way to increase the efficiency of the air conditioner, bumping it up to 17 SEER.

The more efficient the unit, the less your power bills. In these times of rising costs, who needs higher power bills? No one!

If you see your power bills go up, call D&H to take a look at your A/C system. We may have simple solutions to lower your power usage. If you need a replacement, one of our technicians will come to your home and evaluate the situation to give you proper advice.

•• HOW WE PAIR GAS FURNACE & AIR CONDITIONER FOR A HIGHER “SEER” ••

We completed this air conditioning installation in Rancho Vistoso, a beautiful community in the northern section of Oro Valley. We paired a Daikin DX16TC (whole house air conditioning unit) with a Daikin DM80VC (gas furnace). Why?

The DX16TC comes with an efficiency rating of 14.5 SEER. It is a quiet, reliable air conditioner with solid technology like a high-efficiency two-stage compressor. However, the 14.5 SEER can be enhanced up to 17 SEER when it is paired with the right gas furnace.

The homeowners opted for a Daikin DM80VC: a two-stage, variable-speed gas furnace. Variable speed means continuous adjustment of temperature for a lower power usage.

The cost of electricity is going up: reducing your power bill impacts your monthly household budget. Older air conditioners are like 1970s cars: gas guzzlers! Their efficiency rating decreases with age.

Call D&H to receive sound advice on lowering your utility bill with the right air conditioning technology.
