PTAC hydronic: Ice Air RSAN vs Daikin Applied Comfort

Hege · Jan 16, 2020

Dear all,

Could you please advise which would you recommend. I'm looking at replacing my 15 year old McQuay PDNS hydronic PTAC unit with either Ice Air RSAN or the Daikin Applied Comfort (New Yorker style AC) PTAC unit (12700 or 12600 BTU). I'm only interested in these two brands. Just want to know which is more reliable/wouldn't break down and maybe silent but not as important. Looking at setting it up with a wireless thermostat.

Thank you in advance for any responses and suggestions and best wishes for 2020!

Never heard of Ice Air. I thought Daikin got out of PTACs but maybe not. Amana, which is a Daikin division, makes them but in the standard size and no hydronic.

Ice Air looks to be a private owned company out of New York? Comes with a one year parts warranty. Do not know if they offer a extended parts/labor warranty.

Applied Comfort looks to be a private company also, based in Canada? Comes with a base one year parts warranty, but looks like you can purchase a 6 year extended parts and labor warranty.

I didn't Google Applied Comfort, was looking for it on Daikin Applied's website.

AC shows PRO1 wireless stat. I wired one of them for a customer couple years ago. Pretty slick.

Thanks for the replies guys. Is there anywhere I can post to ask other homeowners (aka non-professionals) to get a bit more feedback?

This is about it. PTACs aren't very common in homes except New York "apartments" as they seem to call what we call condos.
