Mitsubishi ductless, answered.

A Mitsubishi Electric ductless system usually runs about $5,500 to $9,000 for each room or zone, depending on the home. What moves the number: how many indoor units you need, the total system size, whether the electrical panel has room, how far the refrigerant lines have to run, the series you choose (Hyper-Heat models cost more) and the controls you want. The installation assessment is free, and it ends with an exact written estimate.

Usually, because you heat and cool only the rooms you are using. Mitsubishi Electric says its zoned systems are up to 40% more efficient than conventional heating and air conditioning systems. Your result depends on the house, your rates and how you run it, so we do not promise a number.

Financing available on approved credit. We go over the options at the assessment.

Yes. A Mitsubishi Electric heat pump does both from the same indoor unit. Cooling-only systems exist, but most of our customers want both.

Easily in the Bay Area. Mitsubishi Electric rates its Hyper-Heat (H2i) models for 100% heating capacity at 5°F and continued heating down to -13°F.

Either. Many homes run on a ductless system alone. Others add one indoor unit for the room the central system never reaches, like a bonus room or an upstairs bedroom.

A single-zone system is one outdoor unit and one indoor unit. A multi-zone outdoor unit can serve several rooms, up to eight indoor units on the largest models. We size it from a load calculation, not by counting rooms.

No. The indoor unit connects to the outdoor unit through two small refrigerant lines and a control cable, and the system is hard-wired to its own circuit. We check panel capacity at the assessment.

No. Wall-mounted units are the most common, but there are floor consoles that sit low like a radiator, ceiling cassettes that sit flush with the ceiling, and ducted units hidden in a closet, attic or soffit so you only see a grille. We pick the style room by room.

Most Mitsubishi wall units are about 31 to 39 inches wide, depending on the series and capacity. The outdoor unit for a small system is about the size of a large suitcase.

Indoors, very quiet. Mitsubishi Electric lists its quietest indoor units at 19 dB(A) on the lowest fan speed, about a whisper. Outdoor units are louder, starting around 46 dB(A), so we place them away from bedroom windows and property lines.

A single room is usually done in one day. A multi-zone system typically takes a second day. We tell you the plan at the assessment.

As a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Contractor, we register your M-Series or P-Series system for the Mitsubishi Electric 12-year parts and 12-year compressor limited warranty (the HM, WR, HX and WX wall-mounted series top out at 10 years). We register all indoor and outdoor units within 90 days of installation. This coverage applies to a single-family home while the original owner continues to live there and is not transferable. Our standard workmanship warranty is 2 years. Optional extended labor coverage through JB Warranties is available for up to 12 years under a separate purchased plan. It is not included automatically with the manufacturer warranty. The full breakdown, including the California rule, is in our Mitsubishi warranty guide.

Plan on 60 to 90 minutes. We walk the rooms you want to heat and cool, ask how you use them, look at where indoor and outdoor units can go, check the electrical panel and the line route, and run a load calculation. You get a written estimate with the equipment, the series and the warranty level spelled out. The assessment is free.

Have everyone who will make the decision at home for the visit, so nobody has to hear it secondhand. A recent electric bill helps, and so does a list of the rooms that bother you most. Clear a path to the electrical panel and, if you have one, the attic access.
