Mitsubishi Ductless Heating and Cooling for Home Additions

Connecting an Addition to Your Central HVAC System

Central HVAC systems are designed for the current size of your home. They don’t have the capacity to heat and cool extra areas. If you want to connect your addition to your central HVAC system, you need to add costly ductwork, and typically, you also need to replace your furnace and AC. When you opt for a Mitsubishi Electric heating and cooling system, you avoid these pitfalls.

Why Choose Ductless for Home Additions

A mini-split heating-and-cooling system doesn’t need to be connected to ductwork, making it ideal for home additions. But that’s not the only advantage of these systems. Here are some of the other reasons homeowners install heat pumps in their home additions:

• Year-found comfort — A heat pump can heat and cool using your home addition using the same efficient technology all year long.
• Easy installation — Because there’s no ductwork, installation is easy and non-disruptive.
• Zoned heating and cooling — You can control the temperature in your home addition separately from the rest of your home to maximize efficiency and comfort.
• Ability to create multiple zones — You can add a single zone to your home addition or install multiple indoor air handling units throughout your home.
• Custom configurations — Your Mitsubish contractor will help you create the ideal configuration using ductless and ducted units.
• Quiet operation — Ductless heating and cooling systems are quieter than most other home appliances including forced air systems and refrigerators.
• Multiple styles of indoor air handling units — Find the style that complements your home addition.

Many of the other solutions people select for home additions are messy, time-consuming, or inefficient. Mini-splits are cleaner, more convenient, and more efficient than window ACs, pellet stoves, space heaters, and many other similar solutions.

Options for Heat Pumps in Home Additions

If you decide that you want a Mitsubishi mini-split in your home addition, your HVAC contractor will look at your current setup and guide you toward the best solution for your needs. In some cases, they may advise a standalone heating and cooling system for the addition. This consists of a single-zone outdoor unit and one indoor air handling unit.

In cases where connecting to the central HVAC system makes sense, they may use a combination of an outdoor heat pump, a ductless indoor air-handling unit, and a ducted air handler. If you decide to install ductless throughout your entire home, they will steer you toward a multi-zone outdoor unit and several indoor units.
