This lovely deck-style home in Newton, MA needed additional climate control. As with many families these days, the home office is an important feature, and the wife was going to be working more and more from home. This meant having the office be comfortable year-round was important. During the summer, she had been relying on window air conditioning units in the living room, office, and study, but these were noisy, and often did not adequately cool the space. On top of that, window units are very inefficient and expensive to run. The last thing you need when working from home is to be spending more money keeping your home comfortable, taking away any cost savings from a reduced commute!

The homeowners contacted NETR and we knew that we could replace the ugly, noisy window units with ductless mini split ACs from Mitsubishi that would provide them with the comfort they craved. By creating separate zones of heating and cooling throughout the home NETR would allow the family to get the comfort they wanted without wasting energy on heating or cooling areas of the home not in use. We were able to design a ductless HVAC system using Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating that delivers efficient heating and cooling for this home office, the study, and the living room while also saving our homeowners money on energy bills. It will make working from home a pleasure any day of the year!

Problem: The Homeowners were working from home and needed additional comfort for the home office. In addition, the window units they were using to cool the study and living room were inefficient and expensive. They needed more energy efficient option to bring comfort to their home.

Solution: NETR installed a Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating ductless system with three indoor units to provide perfect comfort at the touch of a button to the home office, study, and living room. This will provide the cooling they need in the summer and the ability to heat the rooms in the winter.

Comfort relies on humidity as well as temperature. The wife was working from home, and was tired of her office feeling sticky and humid, even if the temperature was acceptable. Window air conditioners cool the air, but they don't circulate it efficiently through the space or reduce the humidity. Humidity control is vital to keeping a room comfortable, especially in a deck house like this one in Newton, MA.

Comfort in your own home is vital. You might spend several hours in the office, followed by a lunch break, and then spend the afternoon working elsewhere in the home. With the Mitsubishi ductless AC system there's no need to spend money cooling every room all day long, that just wastes energy! By creating separate zones of air conditioning control, each room can be adjusted as needed, and will rapidly reach the temperature you want.  Ductless units also circulate the air more efficiently through a room than a window unit, and control the humidity, which is especially beneficial in the dead of summer.

NETR used the Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating ductless system, which allows for both cooling and supplemental heating to each zone- the home office, study, and living room. This allows the homeowners to keep these rooms at the perfect temperature, even worst days of winter. Now, they can add heat just where they need it most, keeping toes and fingers warm all winter long. Our homeowners will also appreciate the quietness of the Hyper-Heating system, which makes taking calls from home a pleasure, since they’ll no longer have to deal with the background noise of window AC units!

This family was also able to save money on the installation with a Mass Save rebate of $250! Because ductless HVAC systems are energy efficient technology, there are rebates issued for these environmentally friendly units. There are still rebates available, so if you are interested in this type of energy efficient equipment, be sure to ask your NETR specialists about what rebates you may receive!

So just to recap the key points of this home:

  • The homeowners now have a comfortable, quiet solution to cool their home office, study, and living room, making their home the perfect work and home environment!

  • The system will replace noisy and ugly window air conditioners, giving the homeowners their windows back during the summers, and will allow them to supplement their existing heating system in the winter.
