We also use Sunshine, the Tech's are professional and seem well trained. They spend about an hour going over the system.

So far, in 5 yrs, the Cap, expansion valve and blower motor have been replaced no charge under service contract/warranty.

Selling a rental home, the buyers home inspector flagged the HVAC temperature differential was less than 20 degrees at the room outlets.

Sunshine immediately sent the tech to check the system. He verified all was working in accordance with Mfg Spec and issued a report stating there is typically a 2-3 degree temperature drop in the attic duct work on a 95 degree day.

The builder only guarantees 15 degree drop measured at the room outlets.
