Today we're on location, we're doing a video where we're going to compare a unitary single stage type heating and air system to the Dike and Fit a communicating inverter style system. And so a lot of folks when they're comparing systems, they don't quite consider how quiet these systems are. If you've got a unitary Cube style trash can style where the fan blows out the top type unit, if it's near your bedroom, you're going to hear that at night. We're going to do this video showing you the sound differences.

Do an actual test of the decibel levels of the two units, so you can compare them and see that the fit is significantly quieter. A lot of folks think when they see the fit, they think like a mini split. they see a side discharge unit, they see the fan blowing out the front, and they don't realize that it can be paired with a furnace, an air handler, and be hooked up to ductwork just like a traditional Heating and Air system. Another thing to note that Dike and Fit can be paired as an air conditioning, outdoor unit, or a heat pump.

The difference is the fit. being an communicating inverter system can save you up to 30 percent on your utility bills. and it's also super quiet now. I Want to say real quick before we get started.

When you see the decibel levels, a lot of people think when they see you know one or two decibels, they don't quite understand how big the difference is in sound levels. When you go from a standard conversation around 60 decibels to 90 decibels like a lawn mower, the difference is not just 30 decibels, not just 30 times. It's actually a thousand times louder to your ear. So as you'll see in this video as we show you the decibel levels, there's a significant difference in how quiet an inverter system like the Dike and Fit is.

So let's get started. And so right now neither unit is running you can see my voicemail makes you know I'm right up on the camera so it's making it jump up to over over 70 decibels. and so we're gonna get this fit running so you can see how loud it is. And so now we've got our fit running here.

We're going to test the decibel level of the fit and you see it jumping up quite dramatically with me talking. So let's see what the fit is running at when we get right up to it. and so if I step away from the fit, we'll see how far I can walk before I can hardly even here at running I'm probably about 20 feet away and I can just barely hear the fit running now I can hear some air barely running if somebody was standing right beside me I don't think I would have to raise my voice to talk to them with the fit running and if I were inside my home. unlike a lot of non-inverter systems where I can still hear it running outside the window I don't think I would hear the fit as well and now we're going to walk up to this unit.

I'm going to stop talking so you can watch the decibel level on what this unit is running at. So I'm having to raise my voice right now to talk to you while this unit is running. We're also going to walk away from this unit about 20 to 25 feet to see how loud it is and if we can still hear it running. and so here I am about 20 to 25 feet away it's still loud I still have to raise my voice if someone was standing here if I was talking to I would have to raise my voice because of how loud this unit is.

Another thing I Want to show you guys if you look at the fit is how much smaller it is. so it's only a 14 inch wide cabinet, whereas the single stage unit over here is 30 inches. I don't even know that the camera does it justice on how much smaller the unit is. significantly smaller footprint.

You can even see where the old unit that we replaced on this platform, how much room it took up, and it also does not require as much clearance. so a lot of unitary style systems require 12 to 18 inches of clearance back behind the unit between the a wall or some other obstruction, whereas the fit only requires four inches so you would be able to get this small cabinet and this very small four inches I Mean you'd be able to fit that in a lot of places. So that's it guys. I Wanted to show you that sound difference.

Have you considered a system like this or this for your home? I Think it's a no-brainer I Also did a video on the fit that you can click on right here that we go through all the benefits of buying a fit. If you want more information on the fit, I'll put a link down in the description. Let me know your thoughts. Comment down below.
