The owners of this gorgeous three-story Tudor-style home in Winthrop, MA, have spent years using the home’s existing gas heat to keep their family warm during the winter months. The National Grid is the supplier for this home’s gas and electrical needs, and the system itself was in excellent condition.
Unfortunately, they struggled to stay comfortable over the years during the summer, as the home had no central air conditioning system. Like many homes in the area, this beautiful house had been built without air ducts or a central AC system. The owners did not want to undertake a project like installing ductwork, so they opted to use window AC units to cool their house.
Window AC units are notorious for being inefficient, expensive, and loud. These homeowners found that using the window ACs left the house feeling drafty, with some rooms feeling frigid while others were muggy and warm. After struggling to maintain their comfort with the window ACs, they knew it was time for a change.
The Problem: A three-story home in Winthrop, MA, was built without central AC, and the owners had resorted to using window ACs for cooling the house.
The Solution: N.E.T.R., Inc., designed a ductless air conditioning system using Mitsubishi Electric ductless ACs to provide superior comfort where the family needed it most.
The Design
After researching their options, the family found that ductless air conditioning systems exist and might be an excellent solution for their home. Furthermore, they discovered that N.E.T.R., Inc., is the #1 Elite Diamond Dealer for Mitsubishi Electric ductless ACs in Boston and the surrounding areas.
After reading some of our five-star reviews from previous customers, they knew our team would be able to design a ductless air conditioning system for their home.
After meeting with the family and touring the home, the team at N.E.T.R., Inc., knew that the major problem areas included the main living room, master bedroom, and the office. If these areas could be properly cooled with the ductless AC units, the family would see a significant improvement in their comfort during the summer.
The Installation
The first step in installing the new Mitsubishi ductless AC system was to pour a new concrete pad for the outdoor condenser unit. This pad allows the condenser to be placed in a discrete location, where it is easy to access but hidden from view and keeps the condenser upright and free from debris.
Next, the refrigerant piping was installed outside the home and run through the walls like electrical wiring. Each indoor air handler was mounted to the wall after N.E.T.R., Inc., drilled a small hole behind it to allow the tubing to connect the unit to the condenser.
The Benefits
Each of the indoor AC units will provide efficient cooling relief and humidity control for the rooms. This design will help the family adjust the master bedroom, office, and living room’s temperature, but the overall humidity as well.
Each AC unit operates independently from the other ACs, so they can make the living room a bit cooler without impacting the whole system. Furthermore, if they decide not to use the office over the weekend, they can switch off the ductless AC unit in the office and close the door. Now, they won’t be wasting money on cooling a space that is not in use.
The Mitsubishi ductless AC system is one of the most efficient air conditioning solutions on the market today. It provides high-quality temperature control with incredibly low energy consumption. It only takes each AC unit the energy as a light bulb to efficiently cool a room. This efficient design means that the family will see considerable savings in their electric bills over the months when they used the window ACs.
