This is going to be the future 💯. I've heard from some of our customers that their electric bill has been cut down by 70%!!! Carrier is making and pushing the same product.

I live in Houston Tx and had a FIT 4 Ton installed in March this year, I'm using 1100KW less energy per month than this time last year! Amazing system. Same thermostat settings as my old unit.

well done, thanks

Beard looks great 😊 Love The Bee😊 Had my DaiKin fit four years now. Love it, very quiet and keeps the house cool even here in Texas during the hot summers. Great on electricity. One fluke problem so far the outside unit fan blade became loose on the motor rod and had to replace the whole unit but the part was covered under warranty. Other than that no complaints. Great video😊

Great review of the FIT unit. I think you hit on all of the main points that make FIT a great choice for unitary installs. The only thing I'd say is some of the imagery was misleading like showing a wallmount fan coil when the FIT functions as a ducted system.

Good job explaining

I had a new system installed about 12 years ago here in Tampa. Bryant outside unit 2 1/2 ton with heat pump. I have scheduled maintenance done 2 times a year since it was new. I've had a few problems ( replaced outside fan motor and blower motor on the inside air handler unit) had a 10yr parts and labor warranty and that was covered. Now the unit is 2 years out of warranty and I've noticed the inside coils in the air handler unit are very corroded and look like they could spring a leak at any time. Having watched your videos and reading about other units on the market, I think the Daikin Fit is going to be my next unit ... when this one finally gives out as I don't want to spend huge bucks repairing an old unit. Your videos are great and really explain everything about the units, Keep up the great work and you have another Daikin Fan !!!

I've been using and installing mini-splits since 1988. First one's I installed were in a tanning parlor. Customers were complaining about the temp in the booths so owner had me put one in every booth. Then they gave the customers use of the remote during their sessions so they could adjust to their comfort level individually. That was in Gettysburg PA. All were made by Goodman at their Houston TX plant. Not sure if Daikin is an offspring of Goodman or not but I know they do make at least some of Goodman's units today.

Really great video. I have a company at my house right now installing two Daikin Fits. One for upstairs and one for downstairs. I wanted to know if I had made the right decision. And after looking at your video, I feel much better about the $$$ I spent. Thank you for all of the information.

Thank you for this video! I was wondering how this system would be better at removing heat despite having a smaller radius of coils compared to a traditional ac system. I think the EXP is simply better at knowing when to cool vs the mechanical TXP. Not to mention the inverter vs traditional compressor. And this explains why these systems are not labeled Energy Star efficient yet other systems with comparable seer ratings are. This was very useful in helping solidify my decision for a new AC system.

😊 great video 😊thanks

I also got a big fat rebate on my taxes. I got this exact system installed, The Daikin Fit. I Love it!!!

Going to look up sensible heat ratios of the fit now.

FWIW, I live in the SF bay area, and the Daikin FIT latest model DZ6VSA heat pump does indeed qualify for our local/regional rebate programs. It also qualifies for the federal tax credit.

That's interesting on the diakin fit does qualify but the Gree flex does in my area for both the inflation reduction act and my local electric company even offers $250 electric credit if you install a Gree Flexx

Can you talk about costs associated with Daikin Fit vs traditional systems?

It would have been nice if you could have captured and compared the Locked Rotor Amps of the Daikin and the single stage heat pump. I had to add a soft start to my single stage heat pump in order to be able to start it with my generator while one of the benefits of an inverter heat pump seems to be that they essentially have a soft start built in with their variable speeds.

I got a Fit after having a crap Trane in my house that was nothing but trouble. Overall happy with it. Took the company some time to get the settings figured out for humidity, etc. My electric bill did go up though not down. I figure the Trane wasn't working right for years which is why my bill was less. It really was junk. The biggest negative of the Fit was of course the cost of it.

In Ontario Canada we do get rebates with higher quality model.

I just replaced an old 13 SEER single stage unit with furnace with a 17SEER Daikin Fit Heat pump. I ran into two problems. 1) Surprisingly, there was absolutely no energy savings on my summer power bill. 2) It produces a loud buzzing noise in the wall in the winter. No real good reasons given for why the Daikin Fit wasn't more energy efficient. The manufacturer says the Daikin line sets run at higher pressures in general and especially in the winter. And this likely causes this buzzing in the walls. They suggest running the line set up the wall externally to remove the buzzing noise. Are you familiar with this issue? And will running the line set up the wall definitely remove the buzzing line set issue? Any feed back would be helpful. THANKS!!

Thanks. What furnace and coil would you recommend for the Daikin Fit?

Do you have any experience with Bosch inverter systems? If so, what do you think of them?

I thought for sure the last issue would be that the system is a communicating system and requires a new special thermostat wire and a Daikin proprietary thermostat. Guess I was wrong.

How many amps does the Daikin Fit pull when it's running at full/max speed/output? I live in a warmer part of California where summer get to mid to high 90's and I am considering this unit, but are there really saving on the electrical side? Thank you for all of you great videos.

Thanks for the great Vid I live in Oregon and plan on buying Daikin AURORA is it worth the extra cost? What model would you suggest for a two-zone unit for a 650 ft house,if I buy the unit myself what is a resonable install price for a single story house with good attic space and crawl space ,thanks Jim

Great videos. Thanks for the time and effort. I am in the market for a new heat pump and air handler to replace my existing electric furnace and air conditioner. I live in central Canada where we have extremely cold winters. Is the Diakin Fit a good option for very cold climates in your opinion? Thanks again.

Can you 100 % repair a Daikin unit except the compressor with parts from a service truck. Like a standard ac unit? Or days to get a inverter board? In 105 ° summers

Hi. I have an Amana s-series side discharge unit. Do you know if the unit is capable of having a soft start “Micro-Aire” system installed for generator use?

Great presentation, I want this unit and I need 3.5 tones, I have gas heat, can you tell me what i should expect to pay for it. I'm located in Arizona. Thank you.

Is this compatible with an existing electric furnace with AC coil or would a daikin air handler need to be purchased?

This is a very good video, however, the zinger at the end states something that is false. It deals with the difficulty in comparing variable speed inverter drive systems to conventional systems. In this part, the presenter chalks it up to our government. This is NOT correct. AHRI is an association of manufacturers. It is completely independent from the government and is in no way, a part of the government.

i had one installed but it just doesnt ever stop blowing air. isnt it supposed to work like a 'thermistat'. that is, shudn't it completely turn off when the temp is hit...and then start back up when it needs to .... thanks.

I subscribed just because you want to fiesta🎉

How to change remote settings from Celsius to Fahrenheit please?

Daikon Fit vs Bosch BOVA systems. What are some considerations?

I need some light shed on . I bought a Daikin 2019 thru a local A/C well know company in the DFW area. Well I've kept up with maintenance routines and would say numerous teq. Well a low coolant pop on my screen thermostat. Tech guy showed up ran some test he detected a leak on lower button on the inside. Well parts and labor is covered. But not the coolant it's at 8 lb $150 per. Now is this leak the Daikin company fault cause for say a bad unit. Which theres a leak cause wear and tear or bad manufacturer. How can you help?

I’m in south Florida where the temperature can get 96 and humid in the summer. Will this unit be able to keep my home very cool, say 70 degrees during those days?

I use a swamp cooler on the widow and it cools hahaha

We are being quoted $9517 for the 17 seer fit daikon for the whole home replacement with our ac going out. Does this seem within range?

Looks like were comparing amps at different voltages?

Thanks for your great video! I am a clueless homeowner in NorCal that needs to replace my 23 year old 3.5T Carrier (gas furnace/single stage) system. After doing my google "research" and based on your recommendation, I've decided to get a 4 ton Daikin Fit heat pump system(What a surprise, the tract builder illegally under-sized all their new constructions). I have over-producing solar panels and battery backup system so it makes sense to get rid of the gas and use that excess energy for my house heating/cooling. I've been quoted $19K for the system(I always feel like I overpaid but the company seems reliable). Install is next week. Should I be concerned that I am entirely dependent on the electricity grid and my solar panels for my heating/cooling?

I purchased a 4 ton Daikin system last year, its almost been one year since our old system final went south which was a traditional central AC system. We live in SW Florida and our cooling bills in summertime were up around $500 a month plus we have a pool as well as a pool heater which also went south last year so I looked into a replacement and decided on the Daikin Fit system, we also replace the pool heat pump system with a similar type of system. I am not a HVAC guy but know a little about electricity draw and when this system was installed they changed two breakers on my AC panel, there were a pair of 60 amp 220 breakers replaced with a pair of 35 amp breakers, almost half on both the outside unit and the air handler in my attic. The same was true on the pool heater which went from 60 amps to 25 amps but all in all my electric bill is around $300 a month plus even running the new system at 73 degrees feels cooler than the old system at 70 degree's. I could have done without all this modern programing crap but its nice to sit in bed and you want it cooler you can just go to your phone and its right there. Its quite does not have the current drain on start up and ramps up n down. Years ago when I lived in up state NY I replaced the window ac's with splits which I loved and they even worked well down around 20 degree's in winter but the system for cooling always impressed the hell out of me plus they were more economical to run. The one con this fellow states in his video is no rebates with the energy commission and I gotta say that any government run commission has there heads so far up there rear end its not even funny but your rebate is in your electric bill every single month. Today I cool 2200 square feet for mush less than ever before and our rates went up again in SW Florida cause FPL is making there customers pay for all the repairs from that bad storm Ian and Joe the Boob Biden is telling Florida to suck rotten eggs cause he don't like our Governor. This is a great system and if I moved I would buy this system again!

it is not mentioned if it can HEATING and COOLING?

I just had a Daikin Fit system on my house. Definitely quiet but why does it rate so poorly on efficiency on the SEER2 rating?

What is the best way to find a good installer for Daikin? I'm in the Dallas Texas area and am having trouble finding someone. Thanks

My model still runs the outside unit fan even when everything is turned off (AC, heater, geofence, day/night and weekend schedule). Is this "normal"? I don't expect anything running when I put the whole system off, the company that sold me the system says "When the outdoor unit is connected to main power, the inverter control board has a small current flowing into it to be prepared for operation when needed. Due to this, the control board components have to be cooled even when the unit is not running for this cooling operation, the outdoor init fan may come on at any time, including in the winter months". Variable-Speed Heat Pump: DZ17VSA421BA, and a Multi-Speed Air-Handler: DFVE42CP0400.

We got this AC Oct. 2022, so this is our first summer with it. I’m in TX, and as we’ve hit our 90°+ days the system is not cooling the house AT ALL. It’s constantly blowing on the low speed, and rarely kicks on to a higher speed. Today it was 100°, we have had our AC set to 68° all day, but it’s remained 80° inside. Our AC tech came and looked at everything a couple of days ago, and there is supposedly nothing broken. Why could this be happening?? 😩

Why do other inverter systems qualify for rebates? Gree, Bosh, Allied all have qualified units? I think Carrier as well?

Why not use the COP to determine efficiency instead of a complex formula to guess the efficiency with imaginery numbers... So simple energy in vs energy out in Kw for heating... And the same for cooling energy in vs heat rejected...

My city gave me a rebate from the electric company AND my gas company!

I appreciate your presentation however, I couldn't find anything less than $1,200 for a 12,000 btu. 110/120. Do you have any references? Thank you in advance for your consideration

Great videos as usual !!! So this is a split system, therefore you have those wall mounted units inside the house, right ? That's a deal breaker to the designer in me, so are there ways to somehow conceal them ? Thank you !

Does this mean that amana and goodman also dont qualify for rebates?

Thanks for the education! Are you sponsored by Daikin?

I am South West Florida any 2,500 sq ft ranch house with 12 foot ceilings. I am replacing an 12 year old Lennox XC21 system (3 coils later). I have been quoted a 4 ton Dakin Fit (16 Seer) and a 4 ton Train XV20 (20 Seer) with the Trane composite air handler and 15kw heat strip. Both have a 10 parts and labor warranty. The Trane system is about $2,400 more expensive. Which system do you think would be the best investment?

Como eu faço para trabalhar nessa empresa.

How much should I expect to pay for a 5 ton fit?

What I am really concerned with is the fact you don't actually do a true side by side comparison. Be Honest and have the condenser out in the same location and conditions as the so called lesser unit. Don't compare a (any brand) low end with the daikin high end. Love the inverter technology and the daikin seems good and is probably better than most but without an honest and true test it is just spewing company propaganda. Looking forward to finding out.
