Daikin AC Installation Replaces Failing R-22 System in Ham Lake

R-22 refrigerant systems have been phased out - and for good reason. The refrigerant itself is no longer manufactured, which means when an older R-22 system starts struggling, repairs get expensive fast. That's exactly the situation this Ham Lake homeowner was facing. Their system just couldn't keep up anymore, and patching it further didn't make sense.

We swapped it out for a new Daikin air conditioner. Daikin is one of the most respected names in the HVAC industry - built for reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance. It's not a brand we recommend lightly. When we put our name behind an installation, we want the equipment to back it up for years to come.

The indoor side of the setup is worth a look too. The mechanical room is tight, but everything is routed cleanly - condensate lines, PVC venting, and all the connections are organized and properly supported. A messy install in a utility space is a red flag. We take the same care in places you'll rarely see as we do anywhere else in the home.

If your AC is running constantly but your home still feels warm, or if you know you're on an older R-22 system, it's worth getting ahead of it before the heat really hits. A struggling system in the middle of summer is a much worse time to start the conversation than now.

An AC installation done right means proper sizing, clean lines, and equipment that fits the home - not just whatever's available. That's what we focus on every time we take on a job like this one in Ham Lake.
