From Old to Efficient: Daikin Installed

At Stay Cool Air Conditioning & Heating, we pride ourselves on transforming outdated systems into modern, energy-efficient solutions. Recently, we had the opportunity to work with Winston Shaffer, who came to us seeking a replacement for his aging 20-year-old Trane XR-12 heat pump affected by a landscaping mishap. Winston had done thorough research and set his sights on the latest technology, specifically a system that utilizes the new R-32 refrigerant.

Before: A 20-Year-Old Heat Pump

When Winston first reached out to our team, his Trane heat pump was not only outdated but also had sustained damage that left it non-functional. With a desire for better efficiency and performance, he wanted to take advantage of the advanced features available in contemporary systems. The goal was clear: replace the old unit with a modern, reliable solution that would last for years to come.

The Transformative Process

After meeting with Winston at the San Antonio Home & Garden Show, we laid out a plan for the installation of a new Daikin Fit heat pump. This unit is known for its advanced variable-speed motor, allowing for exceptional humidity control and quieter operation.

Here’s what we accomplished during the installation:

1. Installation of the Daikin Fit Heat Pump: We expertly replaced the old system with a new Daikin model, which uses advanced technology to enhance energy efficiency.
2. Upgrading the Electrical System: Recognizing the potential hazard of Winston’s oversized breaker, we conducted an upgrade to ensure it would safely accommodate the new unit. This approach not only met code but also enhanced safety.
3. Surge Protection and Efficient Drainage: We installed surge protection to safeguard the system and rerouted the condensate drain cleverly to water Winston's landscaping, making it both functional and environmentally friendly.
4. Attention to Detail: Our team took great care in sealing all electrical conduits properly and providing clean, aesthetic copper piping for a polished look.

To safeguard the outdoor unit, Winston creatively decided to pour a hefty 5x6 concrete pad. After the main installation, we returned to anchor the new unit securely, completing the job with precision and pride.

After: A New Era of Comfort and Efficiency

The results of our work speak for themselves. Winston now has a state-of-the-art heat pump that not only meets but exceeds his expectations for energy efficiency and reliability. He noted in his review,

“Stay Cool delivered expert craftsmanship, clear communication, and above-and-beyond service… I feel prepared and confident in this system for the next 20 years.” --- Homeowner

Not only did we help ensure Winston's home stays cool, but we also made a long-term investment in his comfort as he approaches retirement.
