We said no thank you, since our system still works fine. He then checked the thermostat and said it was recording 4-5 degrees Higher than his gauge, which we could not see. He explained, this was because our system was working too hard because of the mold, and it couldn't remove the humidity. (The presence of humidity Does Not change the actual temperature.) Our Thermostat is relatively new, We checked the temperature with 2 other thermostats, which confirmed ours was correct and his was Not. He re-explained we didn't understand but it was due to humidity. He then was paid and left. The drain on the air handler was never checked as required, and the sealing tape on the air handler was not replaced.

Maybe I’m a sucker. In May ComfortAirz came to my ten year old house because my drain was blocked, and I ended up buying a Daikin Fit 2 ton high efficiency heat pump for $10,500. They did a perfect installation the next day in three hours. It is virtually silent, even standing next to the compressor.. The cooling is much more regular and less drafty. My electric bills dropped by 50%. The latest bill for my courtyard villa was $66. Daikin is one of the top ranked heat pump makers, rated higher than Carrier, even if you haven’t heard of it, and its heat pumps sold in the U.S. are made here by American workers. It’s more expensive than most, but my model has a much longer warranty.
