Homes like this split-level ranch in Beverly, MA, often have sunrooms and other additions that can be hard to heat and cool. Sunrooms are designed with lots of windows and to help bring light into a home. All that glass can make the room hard to keep a steady temperature since it traps heat in the summer and allows in the cold in the winter. This fluctuation can make an inviting space uncomfortable a lot of the time and sometimes causes these rooms to be underused. Sometimes homeowners will try window air conditioners which are noisy and block the windows for the entire summer. Space heaters in the winter are not a safe option, either.
Our homeowners in Beverly got tired of this problem and decided to find a more permanent solution that would allow them to enjoy their sunroom every day of the year.
Solution: Installed a Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating ductless unit to allow pinpoint control of the temperature in their sunroom, ensuring comfort 365 days a year.
The problem this family had was making sure their sunroom was comfortable. Split-level ranch and raised ranch homes like this one can be a challenge to heat and cool in general. Air circulation is crucial to ensure there aren’t hot spots and cold spots. It takes an innovative solution to ensure comfort in the winter and summer. The sunroom in this home was a great example of this problem- it never seemed to be the right temperature. Their existing unit, seen on the right, wasn’t able to to sufficiently heat the home, and the family needed something to keep the room more comfortable.
By adding a Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating ductless system (seen on the right), this family will be able to enjoy their sunroom every day of the year. These units work as AC and heat pumps. The ductless units are deigned to control humidity as well, improving the overall air quality wherever they are installed!
The sunroom will now be cool and breezy even on the hottest days of summer, and there won’t be a chill anywhere come winter. Instead of having to crank up the heat in the rest of the house to make sure the sunroom is warm, this newly created zone will take the burden off the main heating system. No new radiators or ductwork was necessary! This supplemental heat pump will be able to work right alongside their existing system and should reduce their heating bills this winter!
