Uneven heating and cooling can make some areas of a home less popular, and that’s a shame, especially when it comes to areas like a family room, which is meant for folks to get together and spend time as a family. This is a common problem with bonus rooms, finished basements or attics, or a lower level family room like the one in this Winchester, MA home. The homeowners had a pellet stove they were using, but they found it was providing inconsistent heat and had significant maintenance issues. The pellet stove was difficult and timing consuming to clean, hauling pellets was a burden, and it was becoming more and more expensive to heat the home in this manner.
The problem this family was having was heating all levels of their split level home, and their pellet stove just wasn’t doing a good job. Split-level homes can be a challenge to heat and cool and to make sure you get the right air circulation without hot spots in some places and cold spots in others. In order to make sure the home is comfortable all year long, they needed another solution that didn’t require the upkeep and hassle involved with their pellet stove.
Our Solution: By adding a Mitsubishi Electric Hyper-Heat ductless system, we were able to add year-round comfort for this family while significantly reducing the amount of upkeep and maintenance they were doing with their pellet stove. In addition, the ductless mini split heat pump units also act as air conditioning in the summer, providing a new level of comfort to this home.
This family was also able to save money with a rebate of $2,300! Because this is energy efficient technology, rebates are available for these systems through the MassSave program. since they are helping out the environment. Additionally, the warranties on the systems has recently been extended to twelve years, giving homeowners peace of mind as well as increased comfort in their homes.
