“Central ducted” is literally a 100 year old idea. Devised when energy was cheap and safety was not a priority. The vast majority of these systems use an open flame and explosive gas as the heat source. And every year approximately 5500 people are killed or injured by gas furnaces in this country. That’s 15 people each and every day! But those ducts are a nice safe place for uninvited guests. Do your ducts look like these?
Why Ductless?
Central Ducted
“Central ducted” is the least efficient way to heat and cool your home or commercial building. Forget about ducts riddled with holes or splitting at the seems. Think about it, would you have one light switch in your home? Flip it and all the lights come on. That’s stupid and wasteful. You’d never do that. But that is exactly the way most central ducted systems work. Cold in your bedroom at night? Let’s heat the living room, family room, kitchen, den, office, laundry room, spare unoccupied bedrooms, all from one thermostat. Let’s just waste all that money. It’s dumb and wrong. But how much can you actually save with a Mitsubishi ductless system?
Fully Zoned Ductless
Most of our work is retrofit. That means removing the old central ducted system and replacing with the Mitsubishi ductless system. Our customers know exactly how much they are saving just by comparing before and after energy bills. We love to hear from our customers how much money they are saving (and how comfortable they are now). Our average customer sees their entire PG&E or SMUD bill drop by 50%! Yes, that’s, ½ the bill they used to have. And we have many customers with even larger savings. How can it make that much difference?
Mitsubishi Systems
The Mitsubishi systems are 3 to 5 times more efficient than ducted systems BTU for BTU. On top of that you are only heating and cooling the rooms you’re actually occupying. And not wasting energy heating and cooling empty rooms. But if you have solar…
So you made the smart move and invested in solar. You can save even more with a Mitsubishi system. Odds are you still have a gas furnace that makes up the majority of your winter energy bill. The Mitsubishi system is all electric. You make the energy that is used to heat your home in the winter. Throw away your gas bill. And it’s much safer.
The Mitsubishi system is all electric. No open flame, no explosive gas, no worries of carbon monoxide poisoning or burning your home down. Sleep peacefully knowing you won’t be one of the 5500 people this year who will be killed or injured by a gas furnace.
Ok, super efficient, super safe. But is it comfortable?
Ever have this happen? One person in the kitchen is hot so they turn up the A/C. In the living room another person gets shot with a cold blast of air and goes to the same thermostat and turns up the heat. We call it thermostat wars! There are no victors in a thermostat war. With a Mitsubishi system all rooms are controlled individually. Everyone can be comfortable. Peace at last. But wait, there’s more. Not just the temperature, but the fan speed, and the direction of the airflow can be controlled right from the wireless handheld controller, or your smart phone. No need to get out of your chair.
Is it quiet?
19db may only mean something to you if you are an audio engineer. But it’s very quiet, some of the quietest forced-air heating and cooling equipment you can buy. The outdoor units are so quiet we have no problem locating them right under a bedroom window. If you didn’t see the fan turning you probably wouldn’t even know it was on.
