My Daikin system was installed this past Monday by Keaton and Pablo. So far as I can tell only 2 days in, they did great work. This obviously can't speak for the long term quality of the system until I've had it for a few years, nor their warranty service that I haven't needed yet. But what I do know is that right now my AC works much more beautifully and quietly than my old system, and I didn't even get anything super fancy or high-efficiency in terms of the available options. But I'm confident I'll see a noticeable drop in my energy bills.
Oh and Michael (my sales rep) did me an absolute solid along the way: When I was getting estimates and comparing offers, everyone's quotes had this one thing in common: a high-end 4" Aprilaire filter in a 6" filter box that would go next to my furnace, and that would need to be changed much less frequently than typical 1" filters. I was pretty excited about that. Unfortunately however, my exhaust flue threw a curve ball during the install that ended up not leaving enough room for the Aprilaire, so they had to go with a 1" filter. Michael and Western kinda went way above and beyond to make it up to me for not being able to give me the nicer filter. Michael offered to upgrade my existing nothing-special burned-out UV lamp with what he simply described as a "newer, better UV light". Sounded good to me. What I wasn't expecting was that he was referring to a Reme Halo LED UV lamp. Those things are NOT cheap, and I'm pretty sure it's a lot more expensive than the Aprilaire filter they didn't have room to install. So now I have a Reme Halo in my system, and I'm really happy with how things turned out. I'll update in a few years once I see how the whole system holds up over several hot and cold seasonal cycles.
