Mitsubishi Mini-Split Systems
Unlike traditional ducted systems, mini-split systems give you the flexibility to transform any room into an oasis of comfort. Now you can enjoy precise temperatures in sunrooms, workspaces, bedrooms, garages. They even have whole home solutions.
Because the mini-split systems allow you to control the temperature in individual rooms, you avoid the energy waste of having to cool or heat rooms you are not using.
Mitsubishi cooling and heating systems are known as the top choice among contractors and consumers. They are the most trusted brand for reliability, service and support-offering more advanced technology and more solutions to save energy while improving comfort.
One of the great things about the mini-split system is its ease of installation. Butler Heating & Air Conditioning can install most systems in about a day. There is no duct work so there is no need to worry about creating a huge mess, interrupting your busy schedule.
Things to Consider:
- Do you live mostly in three or four rooms in your house? Now you can save energy by turning down the thermostat and using zone control to keep the spaces you use most at your ideal temperature.
- Have you decided to work from home or add a playroom? Converting the room over your garage or your basement into a comfortable space is now possible.
- Do you have a new hobby? Achieving the perfect temperature in the attic that you turned into an art studio is finally possible.
Case Study
December 2017
Project Team:
HVAC Contractor:
Butler Heating & Air Conditioning, Dayton, OH
Distributor:
Habegger Corp.
CHALLENGE:
Selecting an efficient, budget-friendly heating & cooling system for historic building with separated airflow zones
SOLUTION:
Hyperheating Mitsubishi Zoned Comfort Solution & RenewAire ERV
RESULT:
Stand-alone ductless year-round heating & cooling solution that offers true zoning comfort & optimized indoor air quality (IAQ)
Traditional HVAC is exactly what Gem City Catfé’s engineer designed. Mechanical estimates came in well above budget, including an estimate from Butler Heating & Air Conditioning. But, Butler explained that a traditional system was not the right solution for the application and suggested an alternate ductless design by Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating. The Mitsubishi ductless solution solved the budget dilemma coming in at almost half the price of a traditional system. The ductless system also allowed Gem City Catfé to keep the integrity of the historic property they fell in love with and allow for more usable square footage that would have been sacrificed for ductwork.
Butler designed a Hyperheat solution which provides heating at ambient temperatures outside as low as -13°F.
Another benefit of this ductless system is that each space in Gem City Catfé includes a dedicated air handler. This is important because three of the conditioned spaces are dedicated to living, playing and resting areas for cats. It’s important that these cat areas don’t mix airstreams with the espresso bar, event and gallery spaces to ensure the highest air quality and comfort for their clients. A single traditional HVAC system would not have been able to meet this requirement. Also, because each space has a dedicated heating and cooling unit, they can all be controlled, or zoned, to different temperatures.
“We’re thrilled with the results of the Mitsubishi system. It’s unbelievable that we not only have vast improvements in both form and function but also saved thousands of dollars on the installation.”
