Sleek, Savvy and Silent? It Must Be a Daikin Mini-Split.  

Labels: , , , , , 0 comments


As a wholesaler, we take pride in stocking quality HVAC products, which is one of the reasons that last year we decided to start carrying Daikin mini-splits.

As the global leader and innovator in home comfort, Daikin has turned air conditioning into an art form. Here’s what some of what our customers have been saying about Daikin’s products:
  • “Not only are customers more likely to purchase the mini-split, but the installation is a breeze,” said Dennis Hargis of Hargis Heating and Air.
  • David Trumbly from Petrie One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning conveyed similar sentiments, “Daikin is by far the easiest mini-split I have experience with.
You may be wondering, what other qualities besides easy installation sets the Daikin mini-split apart?

“The sleek, almost decorative look of the Daikin mini-split appeals to customers more than similar makes and models I’ve sold,” said Hargis.

Its modern design gives the unit a clean, sophisticated look that any homeowner would be proud to have. Some may even want to show off their new unit rather than hide it! And for those who aren’t quite ready to embrace the mini-split as a living room embellishment, they need not worry thanks to the quiet nature of this savvy device.

In fact, the mini-split requires such low maintenance that its household presence could easily be forgotten if homeowners weren’t reminded monthly about how much money they’re saving by conserving energy with Daikin.

Don’t Wait Until Spring For HVAC Inspections  

Labels: , , , 0 comments


Conventional wisdom suggests that an annual inspection of a homeowner’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning system is the best way to maintain the health and peak efficiency of a system.

Usually a HVAC contractor performs that maintenance in the spring, in preparation for the upcoming summer. But, what about fall maintenance for the upcoming winter months?

When switching from cooling to heating, there are maintenance tasks in the fall can have a big impact on homeowners’ utility bills in the winter. It’s just as important that your heating equipment work at its peak efficiency as your cooling equipment, and in many climates where heating costs far outweigh cooling costs, it’s more important.

Comfort Supply suggests semiannual HVAC maintenance—in the fall and in the spring—to detect and prevent future costly repairs.

Contractors should inspect and service gas controls, heat exchanges, heat pumps, coils and condensers. Clean coils on heat pumps, and combustion chambers on gas furnaces. Watch for rusted or cracked heat exchanges as these can release carbon monoxide into a customer’s home.

It’s one thing to present semiannual maintenance as an option to a homeowner. It’s another thing entirely to actually sell the idea.

We recommend setting up automated communications to homeowners to let them know when maintenance is due. This can be done through email, direct mail or over the phone. Communicate to your customers through the channels that they prefer, and make it as easy a possible for customers to be aware of and schedule upcoming maintenance.

Contractors can also add a semiannual inspection option to their service contracts, and contractors sell this option by highlighting its benefits.

The best way to sell semiannual preventative maintenance is to be honest and remind the homeowner of its primary benefit: It decreases costs over the entire life of the HVAC equipment. If long-term benefits evade your customer, use short-term examples the homeowner can understand. For example, leaking ducts can reduce energy efficiency by up to 20 percent. That’s $15 on a $75 monthly utility bill.
