Because the owners of this home needed a solution that would provide both heating and cooling, the comfort specialists at NETR. Inc. knew a ductless mini-split system would be the most optimal solution. Additionally, after visiting the home, they determined that the right heat pump for the family’s needs would include Hyper Heat technology, which would allow the unit to function in extremely cold environments.

The home would need to have a combination of wall-mounted units and ceiling-mounted cassettes. Both types of air handlers would be supplied with air through the tubing snaked through the walls like electrical wiring. Additionally, the entire system would require two branch boxes, three Kumo cloud Wi-Fi devices, six wireless Kumo cloud humidity and temperature sensors, and three EcoBee Lite thermostats.

Because of the design of the home, most of the piping to the outdoor heat pump was installed inside the home. However, one pip was still installed outside the home near the heat pump and line hide was used to blend it into the side of the house.

Before the installation process could begin, the previous oil heating system had to be removed. Next, the Mitsubishi heat pump with hyper heating technology was installed on a concrete pad outside the home. This placement allows it to easily service all the interior units through the piping that was snaked through the walls like electrical wiring.

Inside the home, all the piping for the system was installed and hidden to provide a clean finish. And each of the indoor units was mounted accordingly.

Two wall-mounted units were installed throughout the home. One of the wall-mounted units was installed in the dining room, and a second wall-mounted unit was installed in the family room. Both ductless mini splits were mounted to provide the best airflow throughout their given rooms.

Additionally, ceiling-mounted cassettes were installed in the various bedrooms. These units are treated very similarly to the wall-mounted ductless mini-splits, except they are installed flush with the ceiling. The ceiling mounted ductless mini-splits are an excellent solution for small bedrooms because they fit into the ceiling.
