The Challenge:

There were a few challenges that Anna P. wanted resolved:

• Challenge 1: The existing system being fireplace and individual propane heaters can be onerous to operate and hard to walk away from for even a day or two.
• Challenge 2:  The Master bedroom has never been comfortable in summer or winter.
• Challenge 3: The architecture of the home is almost historic in nature and is paired with a structural system not often used anymore.
• Challenge 4: The altitude and weather patterns are both important challenges.

The Solution:

• Solution 1: The homeowner sought comfort. But it was just as important for her and for us to make it look right. Like it was always there. This includes planning and documenting the aesthetic choices and making the installation team aware of them. While on site, they are trained to have the same conversations with the owner so they can verify choices before they are installed.
• Solution 2: The altitude presents some challenges for heat pump capacities. Luckily, we pair up with Mitsubishi technical support and their handy Diamond System design tools. These steps ensure the heating or cooling demand can be met when paired with a properly done Manual J heat load calculation.
• Solution 3: We performed a thorough start-up report to field test the unit to the specifications recommended by the factory to ensure the system is charged properly and is running efficiently from day one.

The Benefits:

Mitsubishi systems offer some of the best home comfort we have seen. The system constantly adapts to provide consistency in temperature no matter the demands outside. In this case, the layout was carefully considered along with the mechanical needs and delivered in a way that was pleasing to the owner.

Cost/Benefit Analysis:

In this case, we could offer a state of the art Mitsubishi Hyper Heat system for much less than a traditional ducted system of lower efficiency and comfort features. This is always rewarding for our team. We like seeing the pleasure that a pleasant surprise offers. Plus, the system will operate at a much lower cost than any other considered these factors:

• The existing propane heaters cost nearly 3.5X to operate for only heat.
• A traditional propane furnace cost over 2x to operate.
• Even a high end ducted heat pump option would cost 1.7X to operate.
• Geothermal could beat it out for cost of operation, but may have drawbacks in the “home comfort” area.

Summary of a Successful HVAC Installation

This homeowner was looking to increase the comfort of their home through exploring heat pump options. The system she decided on, is an understated addition to her home aesthetically while delivering all the comfort at a much lower operating cost than other systems. We love taking on challenges like this!
