Rincon gets hot in the summer, and although the upstairs of our house is quite nice regardless of the temperature outside, our offices downstairs needed Air Conditioning. So, sweating it out in front of my computer I started researching what brand I should buy as well as where I could buy split unit Air Conditioner units, have them installed professionally and have them maintained down the line as they get older. This ruled out many of the ‘handy man’ guys around town that are capable of doing the work because I want to be able to call a business and say “help!” instead of track down a ‘handy man’ that may or may not feel like dealing with a former job. I also wanted to get a warranty on both the installation work and the units themselves.
After calling around and asking around, I had the job narrowed down to a few local businesses. I narrowed my choice down even more by price point, brand names and professionalism.
The Air Conditioner Units I wanted were the new Inverter type units. They save over 30% in electricity than their predecessors and considering Rincons Electric Bills just went up 30% last month, that is quite a bit of savings. I also wanted to get units that were strong enough to cool all of downstairs when all three splits were run simultaneously.
After research and due diligence, I decided I wanted to buy the Daikin brand split units.
Our two offices and the spare bedroom/gym are about 12ft wide by 18ft long with 10ft ceilings. Our great room downstairs (between the offices) is 40 feet long by 20 feet wide. I decided that the 24,000 BTU split inverter units were the right ones for the job. Keep them turned low for the offices and once we finish up the media room and new entrance downstairs, we’ll be able to keep it all cool by cranking the units in the three rooms with our interior doors open.
The company we used for the job was Aguada Refrigeration and Air Conditioning. They were here when they said they would be, installed everything professionally (centered, sturdy etc) and gave us a 5 year warranty on the installation and the split units and compressors.
If you are researching for an Air Conditioning company that services Rincon, use the business I used, they were rock solid on all levels. Tell them Stefan from www.ca2pr.com sent you to them and they will give you a discount AND give me a finders fee.

We used this company for setting up our air conditioner in our bedroom, we were very pleased with their work, and I love how quiet the system is. We usually do not need it up in Pineapple Hill, but when we are there in the summer, sometimes it can get a bit hot at night.
Congratulations on such a great investment.
