The Challenge:

Working with limited space and the historic character of the building posed many challenges. Because of this, we had to design a system that was not disruptive to the original method of construction while meeting the needs of our client.

The Solution:

The Mitsubishi MXZ-8B48NA heat pump paired with 4 MSZ-GE12NA wall-mounted units. Eliminating the need for ductwork, we were able to work in the tightest of spaces to provide an energy-efficient system to our client.

The Benefits:

The installation of the Mitsubishi MXZ-8B48NA heat pump and MSZ-GE12NA wall-mounted units has been an eco-friendly solution to keep the space comfortable for guests and staff.

Cost/Benefit Analysis:

The cost of a custom-designed Mitsubishi ductless system varies based on building design, specific equipment, and customer needs. While a ductless system may cost more than a traditional HVAC system, sometimes it is the only option based on space. Fortunately, these systems are more energy efficient and can more than pay for themselves over time.
