What operating costs of a Mitsubishi ductless system can I expect?

Mitsubishi manufactures state-of-the-art HVAC systems that will operate efficiently for about twenty years.  Mitsubishi systems have variable compressor speed converter technology (VCSI) which adjusts the air conditioning capacity in response to the demand.  The result is efficient operation and reduced energy costs. If you schedule regular service and maintenance for your Mitsubishi system you will avoid unnecessary repairs and minimize your operating costs over the term.  Operating costs may vary slightly depending on the size of your Mitsubishi unit and the general climate in which you live.  And you may be eligible for government residential energy credits as well as manufacturer rebates. We suggest calling Pro Ace to get a fairly accurate estimate of your particular operating costs per year after calculating these factors.  Remember all our information and advice is free!  And we are happy to visit your home for a free estimate!

Pro Ace Heating and Air Conditioning Mitsubishi ductless installation procedure.

– Ductless systems comprise two parts, the condenser that is installed outside and the wall mount unit that is installed inside.  Normally we place the condenser on the balcony and run a line set (pipes) and electrical wire to the indoor unit.

– The technician will drill a 2-3 inch hole for the line set and the wire. The hole will be sealed and covered to avoid damage and leakage.

– The technician will provide power to the outdoor unit.  Usually they will run a new wire from the electrical panel, which is 208/230 volt.
