The Challenge:

The challenge in Bozeman is to utilize as much of the electric heat pump efficiency and capacity as possible. This allows the homeowner to negotiate inflated energy costs in a strategic way. They were looking to be good stewards of our environmental resources as well as their economic resources as they are in retirement.

The Solution:

The primary solution focused on a 97% efficient S9V2B0680U4VS gas furnace as the horsepower for this system as extremely low outdoor temperatures prevail. At the same time, a high capacity Mitsubishi Hyper Heat PUZ-AK36NLHZ heat pump designed for low temperature delivery is paired with the horsepower through a Mitsubishi IntelliHeat coil PAA-BA36NL to offer the least expensive delivery of heating to the home at all times. Additionally, a fantech HERO 150H heat recovery ventilator and EFD175DLFR000B air purifier from Trane were installed. This Indoor air quality package will offer clean air and respite from allergens present in our outdoor air in Bozeman while maximizing fresh air delivery.

The Benefits:

The benefits of installing the Trane S9V2 furnace are extremely high efficiency operation, and low operation noise of the variable speed fan. When matched with a Mitsubishi PAA-BA36NL IntelliHeat coil and PUZ-AK36NLHZ condenser, the furnace only needs to operate when outdoor temperatures are below 13 degrees Fahrenheit which, at todays gas and electric prices, sees substantial savings on gas/electric bills. Indoor air quality was added to reduce risks from colds, viruses, and allergens and has gotten to be one of our most common additions to systems in the last 5-8 years. And finally, the whole system is protected with labor warranties to match the terms of the manufacturer’s parts warranty which reduces the customer’s exposure to higher labor costs through the next 10-12 years.

Cost/Benefit Analysis:

While the initial costs of the Trane-Mitsubishi Hybrid system may exceed a more traditional system with furnace and air conditioning, the benefits of getting expertly matched system equipment for efficiencies are numerous. First and formost, all the horsepower you need for the worst Montana can throw your way. Second, the efficient benefits of the Mitsubishi heat pump allow you to skate through most of our winter weather using the electric heat pump at
nearly 2x the efficiency of the gas furnace. For many customers, knowing they spent the extra upfront to gain the efficiency and reduced utilities on the backend is well worth the extra effort.

Summary of a Successful HVAC Installation:

“We’ve been installing this type of system for years with very good results in our climate. The recent change from Mitsubishi to the R454b refrigerant has allowed us to install the first of it’s kind right here in Bozeman, MT. for a customer who knows what to expect out of a quiet and efficient dual fuel system. This change has also boosted efficiency, capacity at low temperatures, capacity at high elevations, etc. There’s never been a better time for this technology and a company who has committed to learning the ropes of these high tech systems.”
