West Coast just installed a new heat pump AC/heater
I just had West Coast Heating Air Solar put in a heat pump air conditioner/heater so that I can get rid of gas and be more energy efficient (I have solar and battery storage from them also). My system is a Rheem RD18AY36AJVCA and RH2VY3617STACNJ with 800 series Smart Thermostat RUETST800SYS. West Coast gave me a very competitive price (I had 3 quotes) and their salesman Mike Johnson is the best. I started working with him 12 years ago. It took 2 days to install my system and the technicians worked hard and did a great job. They also cleaned up after they finished each day. I can really notice a difference between the new AC and the old system. Wow how technology has changed over the last few years. My old system use to make so much noise and I’m sure my neighbors didn’t appreciate all the racket from turning on and off, etc. The new heat pump system is extremely quiet. You can barely hear it when running. The air handler is a variable speed system that adjusts the air flow as the different zones need it. There is one main thermostat that can control the other zones. Each zone has a thermostat. The only problem I had was connecting my cell phone app to the thermostat. I had to make a change in my router so that the thermostat would allow it to connect. Once connected it was easy to set up and control from the app. The app doesn’t allow you to see whether or not your system is running and I wish that it had this feature like my old Honeywell app. I can control the humidity in the system by the app which is a nice feature. You can also override your settings if you need to change anything temporarily. Warranty registration of the heat pump and air handler was easy on Rheem’s website as long as you have the serial numbers. The Smart Thermostat didn’t need to be registered. After installation I had a lot of questions about the system and the Installation Manager Alexey called me to go through and answer each of my questions. The personnel at West Coast that communicate with you about the paperwork, installation, etc. are top notch. Everyone there gives excellent customer service. I am very pleased with this purchase and the team at West Coast!
