A DAIKIN FIT SYSTEM IN A STREAMWOOD SPLIT LEVEL

There are many homes in our area like this lovely split level in Streamwood, IL. Like most split level homes, getting even airflow throughout the home is difficult, leading to hot and cold spots. For this home, the two bedrooms located above the garage couldn’t maintain an even temperature, making them way too hot in the summer and way too cold in the Winter. The homeowners gave us a call here at Compass Heating and Air Conditioning to see if we could help them with this problem while keeping their energy bills low.

Problem: Second-floor bedrooms over garage wouldn’t keep a constant temperature; an aging 20-year-old standard natural gas furnace and single-stage air conditioner were nearing the end of their lifecycle and starting to cost more and more in repairs, and in escalating monthly energy bills.

Solution: Replace the existing system with a new Daikin FIT variable speed inverter system that will not only make the bedrooms over the garage comfortable year-round, it will also even out the temperature and comfort level throughout this split level home.

When we came out to this lovely home in Streamwood, we knew there were many ways to solve this problem.

Coupled with a Daikin FIT inverter ultra-quiet air conditioner condenser and evaporator coil, the system will be able to deliver outstanding heat and air conditioning throughout the home.

The homeowners also opted for the amazing Daikin One+ smart thermostat.

These thermostats will let the system switch automatically between heating and cooling when needed, keeping your home perfectly comfortable, no matter what Mother Nature is dishing up outside.

The thermostats can be set up with a weekly schedule, and even have an “away” mode to help you conserve energy when you’re not at home.

The One+ also helps monitor the air quality inside and will let you know when filters need changing, helping to improve the air quality- especially important if anyone in your home has allergies, asthma, or other breathing issues.

Best of all, the One+ also has a mobile app, so you can control the system from your smartphone. You can also set it up to work with Alexa or Google Assistant, allowing you to control the system by just asking Alexa to adjust the comfort level on demand!
