Custom Air upgrades historic old house with ductless heat pump and personalized 3rd floor climate control
Project Profile – Third floor, 3 room Daikin ductless heat pump HVAC installation
Location – Upper Arlington, OH 43221 in Franklin county
Introduction
The residents of an Upper Arlington, OH home were facing a persistent issue, the third floor of their house was unbearably hot during the summer months and even on sunny winter days. The excessive heat made the living conditions uncomfortable for the family, particularly in the bedrooms.
Situation & Problem
The third floor of this home consisted of three separate rooms, all of which experienced extreme heat, especially on sunny days. The existing HVAC system failed to adequately cool the area, leaving the occupants feeling restless and uncomfortable. This issue highlighted the need for an effective and efficient cooling solution that could provide year-round comfort for the family.
Solution
After carefully assessing the situation, our HVAC experts recommended the Daikin multi-head mini-split system as the optimal solution to address the unique challenges of this home. This innovative system allowed us to install one indoor air handler for each of the three rooms on the third floor, ensuring consistent and customizable cooling throughout the space. The Daikin system’s advanced technology offers energy efficiency, quiet operation, and individual temperature control for each room, providing the family with the flexibility to adjust the cooling as needed for their comfort.
