Goodbye Hot and Cold Spaces, Hello Comfort and Energy Savings

SUWANEE, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

When the Egee family decided to remodel parts of their home, the first to go was their inefficient central air conditioning system. Joy and Ed Egee installed a ductless cooling and heating system from Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating (Mitsubishi Electric) last summer, and the mother of two young boys says she couldnt be happier with the results.

Before the installation, our family room and office were always too hot in the summer and cold in the winter, says Joy Egee. To solve the problem, the Egees installed a Mitsubishi Electric M-Series system in their Woodbridge, Va., home. Now during the summer, were cool and comfortable, she says.

When it comes to home remodeling, the Egees arent alone. As sales of existing houses remain sluggish, many homeowners nationwide are opting to remodel their houses instead of moving. The Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University expects remodeling expenditures to reach $113.6 billion in 2012, compared with $110.2 billion last year.

Instead of cosmetic facelifts, many homeowners are choosing projects that boost energy-efficiency and increase comfort. American Home Comfort Study (AHCS) reports that 67 percent of homes in the U.S. have a room thats too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. One easy and cost-effective summertime remodeling project that produces impressive results is installing a super-efficient cooling and heating system in a room that is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Because a Mitsubishi Electric system requires no ductwork, installation is fast and doesnt require any messy renovation.

Thousands of other families across the country, like the Markus family of Reading, Mass., have also benefited from new ductless systems. The Mitsubishi Electric system had a lot of features we were looking for, and the installation was clean and easy, says Rob Markus.

Mitsubishi Electric systems also are ideal whole-house solutions in older homes where ductwork is not practical, or to supplement existing central air conditioning. The systems are small and compact and dont require reconstruction of ceilings and walls to add ductwork. In most cases, a simple three-inch opening in the wall or ceiling is all thats needed.

Our systems are so adaptable that they naturally lend themselves to most customer needs, says Marc Zipfel, director of product marketing, Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating.

Besides increased comfort and easy installation, Mitsubishi Electric cooling and heating systems have many other benefits for homeowners:

Also available on some indoor units is the i-see Sensor, which scans a room for hot and cold spots and automatically makes adjustments to quickly reach the desired comfort level.
