What Daikin is offering right now
Daikin's current consumer instant rebate program applies to equipment purchased between May 1 and July 31, 2026 (ductless-only offers begin May 15, 2026). Unlike a mail-in rebate, the discount is applied when you buy — the dealer takes it off your price and claims reimbursement from Daikin afterward.
As a Daikin dealer, we install the FIT line these offers are built around. The FIT system is a side-discharge inverter system sized for Florida lots and engineered for exactly the long, humid cooling season Sarasota, Bradenton, and Venice homes deal with.
- - Full Daikin FIT system (FIT outdoor unit + matching Daikin furnace or air handler + Daikin ONE smart thermostat): $750 instant rebate
- - Daikin FIT system + ductless unit bundle: $1,000 base plus a per-ductless-unit adder ($200–$400 depending on model) — up to $1,400 total
- - Ductless-only offers (May 15 – July 31, 2026): SkyAir $750; MXM, Aurora MXT/MXTH $500; Aurora RXT/RXP and Atmosphera $450
The deadlines that matter
Purchase must happen between May 1 and July 31, 2026, and installation by a participating Daikin Comfort Pro must be completed by August 31, 2026. Daikin states the program can change at its discretion at any time, so if you are planning a replacement this summer, locking your quote in before the window closes protects the rebate.
How you actually get the money
There is no paperwork on your side for this one. The participating dealer applies the full rebate on your invoice at the time of purchase, clearly itemized, and then files the claim with Daikin. That is a program requirement — a dealer may not inflate the price by the rebate amount, and the discount must be shown on the invoice.
Ask us which qualifying Daikin systems fit your home and budget, and we'll show you the rebate math line by line in your written estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I have to buy to get the $750 Daikin FIT rebate?
A full Daikin FIT system: the FIT outdoor unit, a matching Daikin furnace or air handler, and a Daikin ONE smart thermostat, purchased between May 1 and July 31, 2026, and installed by a participating independent Daikin Comfort Pro.
Can the Daikin rebate be combined with the FPL rebate?
Generally yes — they come from different parties. A qualifying high-efficiency Daikin system that meets FPL's SEER2 15.2 threshold and is installed by an FPL Participating Independent Contractor can earn both the manufacturer instant rebate and FPL's $200 invoice credit. We'll confirm both qualifications on your specific quote.
What happens if I buy in July but installation slips past August 31?
Daikin's program terms require installation by August 31, 2026 for purchases in the current window. If a project can't be completed in time, the rebate may be lost — one more reason to schedule summer replacements early. We'll give you a realistic installation date before you commit.
