Why More Homeowners and Contractors Are Moving Away from Traditional HVAC Units
The HVAC industry is evolving—and fast.
Traditional top-discharge HVAC units, once the standard for residential cooling, are starting to feel outdated. Today, homeowners want cleaner aesthetics, space-saving options, and more control over their home systems. Contractors want faster installs, flexibility, and equipment that’s easy to work with.
Enter the Side Discharge Revolution
Side discharge condensing units are quickly becoming the smart alternative. Why?
✅ Smaller Footprint: These units take up less outdoor space, making them ideal for urban properties, narrow side yards, or modern designs where space is at a premium.
✅ Quiet Operation: Their side-discharge fans operate more quietly than traditional systems, helping reduce noise pollution around the home.
✅ Modern Appeal: Their compact and low-profile design blends more easily with landscaping or fence lines.
Why the Easy Fit CPR3 Series Is Leading the Way
One standout in this space is the ComfortStar Easy Fit CPR3 Series—a unit specifically engineered to bring side discharge technology to both residential and light commercial installs without sacrificing performance or flexibility.
Here’s what makes it a top pick for contractors and end-users alike:
🔧 Truly Easy Installation: The Easy Fit name isn’t just branding—it’s reality. The unit is designed for quick, hassle-free installs, cutting down time and labor costs.
🌡️ Works with Any 24V Thermostat: Unlike many ductless or proprietary systems, the Easy Fit connects with any standard 24V thermostat. This gives homeowners the freedom to use their preferred device—Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell, or basic programmable models.
- ✅ Backed by a 10-Year Parts & 10-Year Compressor Warranty
🌱 Future-Ready with R-454B: This series uses R-454B refrigerant, which offers improved energy efficiency and a lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants like R-410A.
