WALLER, Texas, — Daikin SkyportCare, a commissioning and service platform for residential HVAC contractors, has won a 2026 Integrated Home Competition Award. The program is sponsored by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE).
Daikin Comfort Technologies North America Inc. designed the SkyportCare cloud-based platform to help assure contractors and homeowners that Daikin, Amana brand, or Goodman HVAC systems have been installed properly and then continue to perform effectively, a press release from Daikin said.
“Daikin SkyportCare represents a huge win for consumers and installers alike, with the potential to reduce installation issues and associated efficiency losses, while educating customers about maintenance to prevent future problems,” said one of the 2026 Integrated Home Competition judges.
SkyportCare is designed to improve installation quality, maintain long-term system performance, and support proactive maintenance to help strengthen homeowner relationships with HVAC professionals, said Lee Smith, vice president of strategic marketing and environmental technology solutions at Daikin.
Using SkyportCare, HVAC technicians are guided through a structured Quality Install workflow. They can configure system settings for optimal performance, calculate required refrigerant volume, verify an added refrigerant charge, and run a system test. Refrigerant charges can be validated for specific systems and regions, with convenient preset equipment and location profiles available.
After installation, SkyportCare generates a detailed a commissioning report for technicians that can also be provided to the homeowner, documenting system configuration, operating parameters, performance data, and installation results. The commissioning report helps provide peace of mind to both the contractor and the homeowner as an acknowledgment of adherence to Daikin’s installation standards, the press release said.
“Post-installation challenges can be a burden to contractors and cost them valuable time,” said Vish Ganesan, director of residential controls and solutions at Daikin. “SkyportCare helps contractors minimize callbacks by facilitating a comprehensive digital commissioning process while also empowering remote system monitoring, diagnosis, and adjustments — instead of rolling out a truck and technician.”
