Solutions We Discussed on the Podcast
My Recommendations
Daikin Fit - My Favorite AC Replacement
This is NOT a ductless system. Daikin Fit is a direct replacement for your current AC system and will work together with a furnace. These systems heat and cool and use electricity only. I love them. My customers love them. I sell them as fast as the factory will ship them to me.
Dual Fuel - The Peak of Comfort and Efficiency
Dual-Fuel home comfort systems operate under the premise that your system will use the fuel that will:
A. Keep you impeccably comfortable.
B. Do it as efficiently as possible.
This is what I have in my home, and you can hear in the podcast, while my neighbors paid $300-$400 to heat their homes last February, I paid $118. I am dying to find out what their energy bills were this past January and February.
