    Excellent Choice!!!

    The Desert Shield equipment is fantastic. If I had known replacing my oil furnace would make such a difference, I would have done it years ago. The temperature is now more consistent throughout the day and across our two-story townhouse and basement.

    Best New System

    This is the best system I’ve ever had. My electric bill has dropped by $40 to $60 a month, and it runs so quietly.

    Getting Closer to Jetson Living

    This thermostat is incredibly impressive. I love the convenience of adjusting the temperature from my phone via the app. My favorite feature is the geofence—it starts cooling the house before I even get home!

    Nice Unit

    The difference between my 17-year-old unit and this one is like night and day. I’m thrilled with how quiet it is, both inside and outside. It’s also much more compact. It was installed just over 3 weeks ago, and so far, everything is working great!

    Very Quiet!

    Thanks to the variable speed blower motor, we can’t even tell when this unit is running! We love how it stays quiet and unobtrusive, even when it kicks on.

    SO QUIET – Note Space Requirements

    Although this unit is taller than my old AC, I’m amazed at how incredibly quiet it is. The only drawback is the placement and orientation due to the fan exhaust needs. It had to be positioned so the fan blows directly into my backyard, where we like to gather. Unfortunately, the installers couldn’t position it any other way.

    Glad that Desert Shield is in the HVAC Game?

    I didn’t realize Desert Shield was in the HVAC market until we started exploring options. Once we learned about their built-in soft start and other energy-efficient features, we were sold.

  • Paul H
    Desert Shield S Series Heat Pump
