Mitsubishi Electric has long been a leader in heating and cooling technology across the globe. Today, the company’s Hyper-Heating INVERTER® (H2i®) systems feature innovative upgrades that offer super warmth down to -13 degrees Fahrenheit. Here’s what to know and how N.E.T.R., Inc. can help you make the switch to cleaner, more effective heating.
How Hyper-Heating Works
Not all mini splits are created equal and Mitsubishi’s patented flash injection process proves it.
In a traditional system, refrigerant is used to collect heat from the outdoors and transfer it inside through a series of small metal tubes. But flash injection allows some of the refrigerant to go back to the indoor coil to boost heating and into the compressor to help it run faster. This results in higher performance, even in very cold outdoor temps.
Fixed-Speed vs. INVERTER Compressors
A fixed-speed compressor works by turning on and off when the ambient temperature reaches a certain point. This can put a lot of stress on the system, since it has to start completely back up every time the temp in your space falls below your thermostat settings.
Conversely, INVERTER compressors slow down and speed up as needed, similar to how cruise control works on a car. Instead of switching between the brake and gas pedals, so to speak, INVERTER technology allows a compressor to gradually increase and decrease its speed based on your temperature preferences.
Top Benefits of INVERTER Systems
Hyper-Heating systems have a long list of benefits, including:
Minimal Energy Use
Because INVERTER technology allows a compressor to make gradual changes to its speed, this uses significantly less energy than a traditional system that turns on and off. These appliances deliver precisely the amount of heating that you need without using any extra power or increasing your electric bills.
Consistent Temperatures
Another advantage this offers is temperature stability. Since Mitsubishi heat pumps self-adjust as needed, there aren’t any major temperature fluctuations. For example, the compressor on a ductless unit can compensate for a door that opens and lets a cold draft in by speeding up for a short time to balance out the shift.
Fast Heating
Because an INVERTER-driven compressor operates at much faster speeds than traditional compressors, you can enjoy fast heating as soon as you turn your system on. Instead of pushing cold air through your vents while your system warms up, you get instant warmth right where you need it most.
Fewer Repairs Needed
The smooth operation of a heat pump also means that it will need fewer repairs over the course of its life. A well-maintained mini-split can last 15 to 20 years or longer depending on how much use it gets and whether it’s your primary heating system or only supplements an existing system.
Cooling In the Summer
Not only do Mitsubishi ductless systems provide home and business owners with superior heating during the winter, it also doubles as an air conditioner in the summer. Instead of pumping heat into your space to keep it warm, your equipment will simply reverse the process to pump heat out of your space and keep it cool.
Better Air Quality
Like their namesake suggests, ductless systems don’t use ductwork to transport warm or cool air from one place to another. This, along with advanced filtration properties, can remove contaminants and improve your air quality without a separate air purifier.
Fewer Carbon Emissions
If environmentalism is important to you, using an INVERTER-driven heating system is a must. These systems create the maximum heat per unit of energy they use, resulting in fewer carbon emissions and less impact on your local ecosystem. Compared to heaters that use natural gas or burn wood, mini-splits use far fewer resources and emit next to no harmful byproducts.
Smart-Control Compatible
Like all of the company’s products, Mitsubishi takes a tech-forward approach to their ductless units. Most models are smart-control compatible, so you can integrate them with a smart thermostat, smart home controls, or both.
Is It Time to Make the Switch?
