The owners of this quaint colonial home in Melrose, MA were in the middle of renovations and tired of dealing with the home’s lack of a central air conditioning system during the summer months. They were ready for a change. In an attempt to stay cool, they had been using window ACs, but these units proved to be expensive, inefficient, and noisy.
Besides, the window air conditioners required much time to be spent in the spring and fall just installing and removing them from the windows. Not to mention that the family had to give up their window views all summer long to try and stay cool!
Finally, enough was enough, and these homeowners decided it was time to call in the experts.
Problem: Colonial home with no central AC in Melrose, MA needed an efficient, inexpensive solution to their clunky window units that were expensive to run all summer.
Solution: N.E.T.R., Inc. installed a five-unit Mitsubishi Electric ductless air conditioning system. The outdoor condenser and four indoor units were used to provide maximum comfort all year long.
The Installation
The homeowners knew there had to be a better solution to their cooling problems than the window units they’d been relying on for so long. After some research, they found N.E.T.R., Inc., the #1 Elite Diamond Dealer for Mitsubishi Electric ductless air conditioning units in Boston, MA. Reading our many reviews from previous customers with similar problems convinced these homeowners that our experts could design the perfect solution for their home.
The project manager for this install was Chip, who worked side by side with the homeowners to create a ductless system that would give the even, efficient cooling throughout the home. Ultimately, we designed a five-unit system with an outdoor condenser unit and four indoor units in the rooms that needed the most cooling relief during the summer.
The first two units were installed in the family room and dining room. These wall-mounted ductless air conditioning units were strategically placed in the room so that they could provide the most effective cooling. Although many of the rooms were still under renovation, N.E.T.R., Inc. wanted to ensure that the wall units wouldn’t interfere with the visual appeal of the finished room.
The second two units were installed on the second floor, one in the front room and the other in the “pink room.” These units will all function independently from one another, so there is no need for the homeowners to run the ductless AC in a room that isn’t in use. This individualized system will help to save them money on their energy bills over the years and provide the relief they need with the touch of a button.
All the units are controlled by remote, so it’s easy to adjust any room to the perfect temperature. Each unit will also monitor the humidity in the room, to help provide that extra touch of comfort.
In addition to being highly efficient air conditioning systems, these Mitsubishi ductless ACs are also whisper-quiet! Compared to the noisy window units this family had been using, they’ll barely hear the new system running at all. N.E.T.R., Inc. has even installed these kinds of ductless ACs in music studios because of how quietly they run.
Lastly, the outdoor unit was placed on the left side of the house, out of sight but easily accessible. All the indoor units were attached to this unit through the thin piping that was installed instead of invasive ductwork. These pipes are easily threaded through the walls like electrical wiring and are easy to install without damaging the aesthetics of the home.
The Benefits
Not only will this family now be able to enjoy the luxury of quiet, effective cooling throughout their home, but this install will help them save huge on their energy bills for years to come! The Mitsubishi Electric ductless heating and cooling systems are so efficient that many homeowners qualify for rebates just for upgrading to a more environmentally friendly option that their outdated systems.
This family was able to qualify for a total savings of $1875 from Mass Save and Mass CEC! This rebate helped to lower the up-front cost of the upgrade and encourage them that their new system is both environmentally friendly and one of the most efficient systems available on the residential market!
Another benefit to choosing the Mitsubishi Electric ductless AC units is that these systems can easily function as a heat pump and offer supplemental heating in the winter. Not only will these homeowners get high-quality cooling in the summer, but now they can have that extra touch of warmth in the winter.
