Before: A System That Would Not Run
This homeowner in Punta Gorda had a system that was down. When our team looked at the repair path, the cost of repairs was too high for what the homeowner would get back.
In cases like this, spending more money on an aging system can leave a homeowner with the same equipment and a large bill. Our team explained that replacement was the better option.
What We Recommended
We quoted a new Daikin FIT side discharge heat pump. A heat pump cools in the summer and heats in the cooler months, which fits Florida homes that need reliable year round comfort.
The Daikin FIT is a side discharge outdoor unit. That design can help when outdoor space is tight, since the airflow leaves the side of the cabinet rather than the top.
We recommended this equipment because it offered the best warranty and the best value for the job.
