Frigidaire 1Q drive split systems in new construction house

Last week we started a install on a new construction house for a new client.  This install was by far the most fun I have had in the field all year.  The house is around 3,000 sq. ft. and is being satisfied by two split systems.  

Normally when we do new construction we install the ducting and mechanical then come back in a few months when the drywall is up and install the air handlers and condensers.This time we did things a little backwards.The contractor wanted us to install the air handlers first in the framing stage of the house.  He dry walled, trimmed and painted the closet so we could install the air handlers early.   For this project we installed the Frigidaire variable speed air handlers.  These air handlers are really nice and extremely quit.  We have installed thousands of the Trane XL variable speed Hyperion air handlers and the variable speed Frigidaire air handler is by far the better choice. 

Key benefits on why the Frigidaire iQ drive air handler stands out from other brands.

Regular preventative maintenance is a great way to ensure trouble-free operation and peak performance. Every summer we get tons of calls for systems not cooling and lack of air flow from vents.  4 out of 5 times the issue is a dirty filter or dirty coils.  Having you indoor and outdoor coils cleaned is a great way to maximize system efficiency and prevent break downs.  We use a environmental green coil cleaning product that cleans the coil and adds a protective seal after the chemical is washed off. 

Mathew Pine of Carrier explains the Wi-Fi-enabled COR Thermostat

Your heating and cooling system is at the center of what makes your home comfortable and also where you spend most on energy. The engineers at Carrier have developed a thermostat with intelligent controls designed to be the heart of a smarter home–a home where comfort and energy savings go hand-in-hand.

New changes lead to great rewards

This year we have turned a totally different direction and dropped the Trane product line.  Over the past 8 years we have been a 100% Trane dealer and never thought about changing our product line.  Over the past 3 years we have been seeing more more issues with the Trane products.  Last year alone we had a 30% increase in Trane warranty calls.  We had over 20 units that had coil leaks and 10 bad compressor which were found on the start of the install. With Trane units failing left and right we decided to look for a new product for 2015 that would give our customers comfort and quality.

After months of research and sitting down with dealers we made a decision.  Frigid air will now be installing Carrier and Frigidaire brands. We chose Carrier because we are familiar with there products and we have used them on commercial buildings. Carrier has a great reputation in the Phoenix area and there systems are made strong.  One thing that we are also doing different in 2015 is offering a second brand.  We chose Frigidaire as are second brand.  They are new to the Phoenix area but are well known in the eastern states.

I have to say that I was very worried about changing our product line, but after reviewing January's sales I was amazed.  We had more installs in January then we did in the summer of July of 2014.  The best part was that our customers were 100% pleased with the Carrier and Frigidaire products.            

       Here are some of the recent Frigidaire condenser change outs we did this week.
