You may not have given your HVAC unit much thought when installing it in your home or office, but there are actually different types of HVAC units available, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. If you or your business are considering installing an HVAC unit in your home or office, it is worth taking a second look at the various types of HVAC units available.
When investing in an air conditioning (A/C) system, you can’t afford to get it wrong. Not only is it an investment, a unit that is the wrong system or size will not run efficiently and will not keep you or your family comfortable. A bigger unit does not mean you will be cooler or that you will use less energy. In fact, the opposite can be true! Therefore, it is absolutely crucial that the right system and right-size unit be recommended.
Knowing the pros and cons of Hybrid and Traditional HVAC Units can help you decide which is right for you.
What is a Daikin Fit?
The Daikin Fit is an inverter unit which runs continuously but adjusts the compressor’s speed to meet the demand. Because it maintains the temperature consistently, your home will no longer feel too hot or too cold. For example, early in the morning your home may only require 50% of the A/C system’s “effort” because the sun is not fully out, and the outside temperature is low. As the sun rises, and the outside temperature increases, the Fit system will automatically increase its cooling “effort” to meet your desired temperature. On the other hand, a Traditional HVAC Unit only has one stage: On.
How is a Daikin Fit different from a Traditional HVAC Unit?
Here are some basic guidelines that can help you better understand the difference.
Comfort – Fit is a fully communicating system. The thermostat can make changes not only on temperature but also on the humidity in the home. By continuously running at low energy conserving levels, the air is consistently filtered. In addition, the Daikin Fit system will help drastically improve your comfort level by controlling humidity. As the air passes through the coil, it removes moisture and keeps you (and your home) from feeling muggy.
High Energy Bills – The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating on your HVAC system can tell you the break-even point at which a new system would be affordable. The more “effort” your HVAC Unit needs, the more energy it consumes, and the more energy it consumes, the higher your bills are. Space – Your home is unique, just like your comfort. Traditional HVAC Units can be cumbersome, at times, due to their size. Daikin Fit is considerably smaller than traditional A/C systems. Money – In a market saturated with expensive high-tiered inverters, Daikin Fit provides a premium mid-efficiency inverter at an affordable rate.
Low Sound Levels – Daikin Fit has enhanced acoustical comfort compared to Traditional HVAC Units, which give off a constant hum. Undesirable operational sounds often accompany non-inverter systems, especially during start-up. These sounds can become a nuisance in yards or when near a window. With the ability to operate more consistently, at variable speeds, the Daikin Fit system can help bring additional acoustical comfort to any environment (inside and out).
Filtration – According to The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it’s possible for the air inside your home to be up to five times more polluted than the air outside. With the new Daikin premium air cleaner, you can protect and prolong the operation and efficiency of your system while delivering improved indoor air quality. The filtration feature that removes more than 85% of particles down to 0.3 microns* doesn’t usually come with Traditional HVAC Units.
Blue Fin Corrosion Coating – Longer condenser coil life and reliability, which lessens the need for an A/C Repair and Service
If your system is broken, a replacement should be considered to avoid frequent emergency A/C repair calls. Investing in a new unit may be more expensive up front, but over time, it will save you money with fewer service calls needed.
