The owners of this beautiful split-level home in Beverly, MA, have lived in the house for the past nine years. The neighborhood is exactly what they were looking for, and they have put time and effort into making the home modern and beautiful inside and out.
However, like many of the homes in Beverly, MA, it was built without a central air conditioning system. Instead, the owners have had to use window AC units to keep their home cooled during the increasingly hot summers.
Window air conditioners are notoriously bulky, loud, and inefficient at keeping a space properly cooled. After nine years of wrestling with installing window ACs in the dining room and living room every spring and removing them every fall, these homeowners had enough. It was time to find a better air conditioning solution.
The Problem: The owners of this home were using window AC to keep their house cool during the summer, but the high energy bills, inadequate cooling, and humidity were a problem. They need a new air conditioning solution.
The Solution: N.E.T.R., Inc., installed a single Mitsubishi Electric ductless AC unit in the dining room with an outdoor condenser unit outside to provide high-quality cooling relief all summer long.
The Design
The homeowners of this split-level home researched HVAC companies in the area and found that N.E.T.R., Inc., had the highest reviews and the best customer service. Additionally, N.E.T.R., Inc., is the #1 Elite Diamond Dealer for Mitsubishi Electric ductless air conditioning systems in Boston, so the owners knew we would be able to design a solution for their home.
After meeting with the owners, our team knew that a single Mitsubishi electric ductless AC would do the trick. All this new system would need is a single indoor air handler and an outdoor compressor unit so the installation would be quick and easy.
The Installation
The indoor air handler for the Mitsubishi ductless system must be placed in a location that would allow the best airflow throughout the space. The team at N.E.T.R., Inc., found the perfect location by mounting the unit on the wall in the dining room, which allowed the system to treat the air in the living room as well.
Installing the wall-mounted AC unit is easier than most systems and requires no large construction as a traditional ducted HVAC system would. Instead, the ductless unit has a small hole drilled into the wall behind it, which allows the technician to run electrical wiring and piping through the walls to the outdoor condenser unit. This design allows for a seamless fit against the wall and gives our technician the freedom to place the unit high up and out of the way so that it will have the best airflow for the space.
The outdoor air condenser unit is installed behind the home, where it is out of sight but easy to access for maintenance and repairs. The condenser unit is placed on a concrete pad to ensure it is not blocked or clogged by debris. Once the unit is in place, refrigerant piping is run up the wall to meet the piping from the indoor unit so that the treated air can be pumped into the home.
The Benefits
This family will now be able to enjoy the comfort of their home all summer long without the noise and distraction of the window ACs they’ve used for so long. The new Mitsubishi ductless unit features whisper-quiet technology that is so quiet we have even used this type of system in recording studios.
The owners will no longer suffer from outrageous energy bills during the summer because the Mitsubishi Electric ductless air conditioning system is one of the most energy-efficient types of temperature control systems on the market. In addition, these units are so environmentally friendly that the owners were able to qualify for a $375 rebate just for upgrading their air conditioning system.
Now, the family can easily adjust the comfort in their home with the touch of a button, thanks to the remote-controlled Mitsubishi ductless system. This AC unit operates from a remote so that the owners can turn the temperature up or down a degree or two from the comfort of their couch.
Additionally, the Mitsubishi Electric ductless air conditioning system is easy to expand on at any time. If the owners decide, down the road, that the master bedroom needs additional cooling relief, N.E.T.R., Inc., can install a wall AC and have the new unit working in no time.
Lastly, these units provide a quick heating solution as well! The Mitsubishi Electric ductless AC system can easily convert to supplemental heating during the winter to help keep the home at the perfect temperature all year long.
