Mitsubishi Ductless ACs Provide Relief for Newbury Colonial

Newbury colonial home gets two-zoned Mitsubishi ductless air conditioning.

This wonderful colonial home in Newbury faced a problem like many homes in the area. They had a great forced hot water/gas heating system, but no ductwork or central AC system. As a result, they had to rely on noisy and inefficient window air conditioners to try to stay cool in the hot weather. Often the units couldn't keep the family comfortable. On top of that, installing, removing, and storing window units twice a year is a task no one enjoys. The homeowners began researching other options to bring comfort to their home, without breaking the bank.

When they gave us a call here at N.E.T.R. INC., we knew that a ductless system would be a great solution. These ductless air conditioning systems wouldn't require heavy construction in the home, and we could give the family the cooling comfort they craved, just where they needed it. They chose us due to our outstanding reviews and experience in Boston and the surrounding areas on homes just like theirs.


Problem: This lovely colonial home in Newbury had gas heat but no air conditioning. They were relying on window AC units to try to beat the heat in the summer, but the high energy expense and noisy operation were too much for the family!

Solution: We added two zones of Mitsubishi ductless air conditioning to the living room and master bedroom to ensure perfect comfort and lower energy bills.

When we came out to Newbury, we sat down and talked with the homeowners about the best way to give them the comfort and relief they wanted. They needed an energy efficient system that would meet their cooling needs without breaking the bank.  N.E.T.R. Inc. advised the owners to choose a two-zone system of Mitsubishi ductless air conditioning that would be meet their needs perfectly.

Mitsubishi's ductless systems double as energy-efficient heat pumps that operate as quiet as a whisper. This whisper-quiet technology makes them a perfect solution especially for master bedrooms like the one in this home. Operating at only 19 decibels of noise, these units are so quiet, we've even installed them in music studios! That's a recipe for a good night's sleep!

Unlike window air conditioners, the ductless wall ACs are mounted on the wall, out of the way, and distribute cool air throughout a room. Because they can be installed on the wall, N.E.T.R. Inc. was able to place the ACs wall units in optimal locations to ensure there aren't any hot or cold spots. These ductless ACs also control the humidity, making sure you never have that sticky feeling in the heat.

In addition to the master bedroom, the family chose to add an additional unit to the living room as well. These units are controlled by a remote, making it easy to adjust the temperature in the room any time during the day or night. This will help the living room be a place where the family can gather and be comfortable, whether they’re watching a movie or the game on Sunday, or just relaxing after a tough day at work.

Ductless Benefits

This installation saves the homeowners money in multiple ways. By creating two zones of comfort, the ductless air conditioning units operate independently and will make those two areas of the home comfortable when in use but can be easily turned off when not needed. When the ductless ACs are turned on, they rapidly cool down a space, meaning you can get the comfort you want on demand without wasting energy cooling a room that is not in use.

When in operation, these units are so efficient they keep your energy bills low. In fact, their efficiency is so great, that many homeowners qualify for rebates through the Mass Save program to help make installation more affordable- give us a call and see if you qualify!

The outdoor Mitsubishi AC condenser units are easy to place out of the way, making sure nothing gets in the way of your comfort while maintaining the beauty of your home, as you can see from the pictures!

Even better, systems like this one are expandable. This means the family can enjoy the efficient, cooling comfort in the master bedroom and living room now and they can add additional indoor units down the line, if they decide they want air conditioning in other parts of their home.

For energy-efficient, quiet cooling for your home, you really can't choose a better solution that Mitsubishi ductless to replace those old, bulky, and expensive window air conditioners. Give us a call and let us help you get the comfort you need to rest easy without worry about energy bills!

Newburyport Home Upgrades to Ductless Mini Split System

Newburyport beach home replaces propane with Mitsubishi Electric ductless.

One of the great things about owning a beach home, especially one close to Boston, is the ability to enjoy it year-round. A weekend getaway with family and friends is a joy, but when your beach home is too hot or too cold, it can make you want to stay home instead- which defeats the purpose of having such a great get-away in the first place.

When the owners of this lovely Cape-style home in Newburyport gave us a call, they were relying on FHA-propane for heat, and had no cooling system other than window air conditioners. These window ACs left the owners spending a good part of the summer sticky and uncomfortable.

They were looking for a better solution to heat and cool their home, that would be both energy efficient and cost-effective to run. After some research they read about Mitsubishi ductless systems and their outstanding product reviews and gave us a call to discuss options. They had seen the reviews for N.E.T.R. Inc. online for work we've done in other homes in Newburyport and surrounding areas, and were confident we could help them solve their problems so they could enjoy their home in greater comfort.

This multi-zoned system ensures that the homeowners and any guests will all be able to be comfortable in their beach home, no matter the season.

Ductless Benefits

These homeowners were also able to take advantage of a Mass Save rebate of $500 and Mass Save financing, with 0% interest for up to 7 years for qualifying systems like this one. This helps make energy-efficient upgrades like this an even more affordable investment in the long-term for your home!

Each guest will be able to adjust the heating and cooling in their room, so they have slept comfortably all night. And the whole family is together and comfortable, where before adding ductless, they might have avoided going to the beach in the fall because it just got too cold and turning on the propane system was expensive.

In addition, there won't be any more hassle with those noisy and inefficient window air conditioners that are a pain to install and store each year. Even if it gets hot early on, the homeowner will be able to add the cooling they need, whenever they want it, with the touch of a button. Even on the hottest days of the summer, the homeowners will be perfectly comfortable and they’ll save money on energy bills at the same time! That's a solution that increases the level of comfort and enjoyment of their getaway, while making each moment more energy-efficient and cost-effective - something any homeowner can appreciate!

Danvers Ranch Upgrades from Fans to Ductless Air Conditioner

Danvers ranch home upgrades to ductless air conditioning.The homeowners of this great ranch home in Danvers had a problem. They were trying to cool the home with fans and the summers here are getting hotter and more humid by the year. They had great oil heat for the winter, but no ductwork for central AC. They were looking for a more permanent solution for their home than noisy window air conditioners. Which are loud, expensive to run, and can be a safety concern since criminals have been known to push in a window unit to break into a home.

The homeowners wanted to make sure they got a system that was affordable to install, energy efficient, and didn't cost an arm and a leg to run. When they gave us a call here at N.E.T.R. Inc. we knew we could design a solution for their home that would meet their needs now and provide the option to expand in the future, if they wanted.


Problem: The owner of a 45-year-old ranch home had great oil heat, but no central AC and was using only fans for cooling in the summer. They were looking for heating and cooling options that were efficient and cost effective.

Solution: We installed a single-zone of Mitsubishi ductless unit in the living room, with an option to expand the system in the future and create additional zones.

After talking with the homeowners, we recommended that they install a single zone of Mitsubishi ductless air conditioning in their living room. This would give them the comfort they wanted where they spent most of their time. If they like the ductless unit, they can expand the system later to create additional zones for other areas of the home.

Example of a wall mounted ductless AC in Danvers ranch home.

Ranch homes are built on a single floor, which means air circulation is critical. Unlike window ACs, ductless air conditioners circulate air throughout a space and monitor it to make sure you have the comfort you want in every area of the room- not just one cool space near a window! By placing the unit up on the wall, it is out of the way and can provide optimal air circulation to ensure that quiet comfort in the space the homeowners use most!

We were able to run the unit’s piping through the garage, which made it essentially invisible and didn't take away from the brick exterior of the home.

One of the best things about Mitsubishi ductless air conditioning solutions like this one, is that they are modular. One outdoor unit can control multiple indoor units, so you can get one zone of heating and cooling, or multiple, depending on your needs. Each indoor unit creates a different zone of comfort, allowing you to control each room's temperature as needed. The homeowners can even turn off any ductless unit in an area that isn't in use, saving tons of money in energy costs.

Our homeowners might want to expand in the future, but they weren't ready to commit to the full install yet, so we let them know expanding the system in the future was easy! All they would need is another indoor unit and the piping required, so future new installations would cost less than the initial setup. This also would allow them to essentially "test drive" their system and expand when they are ready - a great decision, especially when you're on a budget.

The other great thing about Mitsubishi ductless systems is that they can act as heaters as well as ACs. This means that when weather starts to cool off this fall, our homeowners can add just a touch of heat with their ductless unit to the living room, without turning on the heating system for the whole home. Because these systems are so efficient, many of our homeowners find that the flexibility of the ductless system provides better heating and cooling without adding to their energy bills. In fact, the Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating heat pumps and air conditioners often save our customers money by delaying when they normally would turn on their more expensive main systems.

The homeowners were so happy, they wrote us the following review: 

Hi Jimmy,

So far, I’m thrilled with my unit! I will be recommending you and  N.E.T.R. Inc. to anyone looking a cooling/heating unit. I thought everything was professionally handled from start to finish. I also appreciate so much that you did not try to talk me into anything more than I was requesting. After dealing with several other companies, you have no idea how rare this is. We’ll see how this summer goes and I know I can always add a second unit if needed.

Thank again for everything.

Linda

Waltham Colonial Gets Cooling Relief with Ductless Air Conditioning

Waltham, MA, Colonial replaced window ACs with ductless air conditioning.

The homeowners of this classic colonial home in Waltham, MA, were facing a multitude of problems with their window air conditioners. These window ACs were noisy, expensive to run, and weren't keeping the home comfortable in the summer heat. Waking up in the morning, hot and sticky, just to take a shower and find no relief before going to work was getting to be a drag. Plus, there's the hassle of installing window AC units in the spring and then storing them in the fall. You must worry about getting them to sit properly in older, wooden windows and then make sure the water from condensation doesn't cause damage to the windows or the walls. All in all, the window air conditioners were more trouble than they were worth.


Problem: The owners were relying on window air conditioners, but the noise and cost to run had them searching for a better solution to keep them cool all summer long.

Solution: We installed three zones of cooling comfort with Mitsubishi ductless air conditioning to ensure that the living room, back bedroom, and front bedroom had quiet, cost effective comfort that will help the homeowners sleep easier all year long.

The homeowners gave us a call here at N.E.T.R. INC. based on out outstanding reviews to see what solutions we could offer. For homes like this one, Mitsubishi ductless systems are a great solution. They are super-efficient heat pumps that provide efficient cooling and heating wherever they are installed.

The wall AC units are mounted up on the wall, out of the way, freeing up windows so you can look out them! The indoor units are controlled by a remote, allowing you to adjust the temperature to your comfort level. These ductless ACs then distribute the warm or cool air evenly around the room. In addition, the Mitsubishi ductless units monitor and control humidity to ensure the room is comfortable throughout- something window AC units really can't do very well.

As an Elite Diamond Dealer for Mitsubishi ductless, our experience and expertise in installing ductless air conditioning systems means that the units come with a full 12-year warranty, ensuring that every homeowner gets the reliability and value they need while getting the cooling comfort they want.

Example of a Mitsubishi ductless AC installed in Waltham home.

Our homeowners wanted to make sure they got the comfort they craved throughout their home, but they didn't want to spend a fortune in energy costs. These units are so energy efficient; they qualify for rebates through two Commonwealth programs- Mass Save and Mass CEC. These programs offer rebates for homeowners adding energy-efficient improvements to their home. These homeowners qualified for two rebates- $250 from Mass Save and $1489.00 from Mass CEC, for a total of over $1,700 that helped made this upgrade even more affordable.

We were installed three wall units, creating three separate zones of heating and cooling for the living room and two bedrooms. Each of the ductless AC units operate independently, so you can adjust the temperature separately- and save money by not heating or cooling areas of your home not in use. So, in the evening, you might want the living room cooler while watching TV, but you don't have to spend energy cooling down a bedroom for hours before you go to sleep to get the comfort you want all night long. That leads to a drastic savings in energy compared to window units right off the bat!

Mitsubishi ductless heat pumps can also provide heat in the winter- all the way down to -13 degrees! This means the ductless AC units can also be used as heaters, to take that touch of cold out of a room in the spring and fall, when you might ordinarily consider whether it's worth it to turn on the heat.

The Mitsubishi ductless air conditioners and heat pumps are so efficient that many customers who use them for heating save as much as 40% off their energy bills the first year! By acting as efficient air conditioning and by being able to provide state-of-the-art heating, Mitsubishi ductless systems are the perfect way to add additional comfort to your home if you don't have central ductwork, like this home in Waltham.

Between the rebates available, the fantastic warranty, and the energy-savings, our homeowners in Waltham got the perfect solution to keep their home comfortable every day of the year. That's a recipe for a better night's sleep for everyone! 

Problem: The owners were relying on window air conditioners, but the noise and cost to run had them searching for a better solution to keep them cool all summer long.

Solution: We installed three zones of cooling comfort with Mitsubishi ductless air conditioning to ensure that the living room, back bedroom, and front bedroom had quiet, cost effective comfort that will help the homeowners sleep easier all year long.

Brownstone in Boston, MA, Gets Ductless Heat and AC for Year-Round Comfort

Boston Brownstone gets modern comfort and control with mitsubishi ductlessThe owners of this gorgeous brownstone home in Boston had an existing Sanyo ductless air conditioning system, but it wasn't working properly. The homeowners really liked the ductless system but wanted to upgrade it and make sure all the areas of the home were comfortable. They also needed to be able to control the temperature at home remotely through a smart phone, if possible.

When the homeowners gave us a call, we decided to first examine the existing Sanyo system. It was clear that it had serious problems and needed to be replaced, but we also knew that we could save the homeowners money by designing a system that would save them money on energy and installation.


Problem: Existing Sanyo ductless system wasn't working and needed to be replaced. The owners were looking to upgrade the comfort in their home and have the ability to control the system remotely.

Solution: We were able to upgrade their current system with a single Mitsubishi outdoor condenser and five indoor zones. We paired the system with a Kumo Cloud interface, allowing all the units to be controlled remotely through a smart phone app. The homeowners will get the comfort they need, can monitor their home from anywhere, rake in the savings from a Mass Save Rebate, and ability to control every zone even when they're not home.


Mitsubishi ductless rooftop condenser gives Boston Brownstone all-year comfortWhen we looked at the existing system, we knew it needed to be replaced. Instead of two outdoor condensers, we used a single Mitsubishi condenser to run five separate zones throughout the home. Mitsubishi's ductless systems are designed to be expandable and to be able to run multiple zones of comfort through one condenser, helping with efficiency and energy savings.

We installed separate indoor cassettes for the living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and two additional bedrooms, allowing everyone in the home to get the comfort they want. We were also able to install the condenser on the roof, ensuring it was accessible but out of the way, so the homeowners could still enjoy the view from their rooftop patio!

The other addition that made a new Mitsubishi's ductless system such a great choice for this home is the ability to add a Kumo Cloud wi-fi interface for the units. This interface allowed each individual cassette and zone throughout the home to be easily controlled from a smart phone!  Now, you can boost the heat before you get out of bed on a cold, frosty day or turn down the heat when the rooms are not in use.

Likewise, you can make sure the air conditioning in the summer is at an energy-saving level when you're at work, even on vacation, and reset it to the perfect temperature right before you come home. The Kumo Cloud interface makes sure you are always perfectly comfortable, no matter where you are!

Problem: An owner of a unit in a multi-family, South Boston, Brownstone didn't have any air conditioning and the common heat for the building was always leaving her too hot or cold for her comfort. She wanted to have a cost-effective heating and cooling solution to get the year-round comfort she craved.

Solution: A single Mitsubishi Ductless unit gave her control over the thermostat at last, so she can keep her unit the proper temperature every day of the year.


Our experience with Brownstones throughout Boston helped us determine a quick, effective solution for this homeowner. We knew we could get her the heating and cooling she desired with a single Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating ductless unit.  We needed to install an outdoor condenser unit on the roof and run the piping carefully into her unit.

Mitsubishi ductless heat pumps use inverter technology and work efficiently to add heat inside the home, even when it's -13F outside!  These ductless heat pumps double as efficient air conditioning systems in the warmer weather, monitoring humidity and providing even air distribution that you cannot get with standard window AC units. These heating and cooling units do an excellent job distributing warm or cool air throughout the room, and ensure there are no hot or cold spots, which are a common problem even with central heating and air systems.

Ductless Savings

Because the Mitsubishi ductless ACs are energy-efficient, there are several rebate programs run by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to help encourage people to upgrade from older systems.  This owner qualified for a Mass Save rebate of $500 and a Mass CEC rebate of $625, for savings of $1,125 with this installation!  Those kinds of savings helped to make this long-term investment in her home even more affordable.

Our homeowner gained control over her own thermostat for the first time in years!  Now, she'll be able to get the cooling comfort she wants, even at the height of the summer!  When it does start to get cold this fall, she'll be able to add a touch of heat whenever she wants it.  Her unit can be warm and toasty, even if the whole building hasn't turned on the heat yet.  These units are  extremely quiet to run, so her new comfort won't disturb the neighbors- it might even make them a bit jealous if they come over for a visit!

Mitsubishi Ductless Mini Split System Brings Quality Comfort for Boston Brownstone

Year-Round Comfort for This Brownstone Condo

A lot of traditional Brownstone buildings in Boston have been converted into condominiums. In this case, the whole building functioned on a single heating system, which did not provide every homeowner the comfort they needed. While electric heat was included in the condo fee, our homeowner never felt warm enough in her space. When she called us, we knew that we could help her get the comfort she craved, independent of the heating system serving the whole building.

Problem: The existing heating system was designed for the entire building, but left our homeowner feeling cold. The uneven heating, although included in the condo fee, forced our homeowner to look for cost-effective, supplemental heating to make her home a warm and inviting space. 

Solution: A single zone Mitsubishi ductless split system powered by an outdoor condenser and a single wall-mounted unit will provide our homeowner with the heating comfort she craves. This system will also provide air conditioning in the summer, giving her year-round comfort. 


An Incredible Investment

Because Mitsubishi's Hyper-Heating is one of the most efficient systems available, most homeowners see their energy bills drop by adding ductless units. Our condo owner will still have the fee for the old system, but we are confident that her new heating bills will be small, especially when compared with other alternatives like space heaters.

In addition, Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating systems provide air conditioning in the summer! Rather than relying on window units, our homeowner will also get a burst of cool air, whenever the heat of summer sets in. That’s an extra benefit everyone in our area can appreciate!

Ductless Savings

Our homeowner also qualified for a $625 Mass CEC and a $500 Mass Save rebate by installing this efficient technology! This means she received a total of $1125 towards the price of the unit and will be able to achieve comfort every day of the year as a result. Her investment will also increase the eventual resale value of her Condo by choosing some of the best heating and air conditioning technology available to the residential market.

The warranty on all qualifying systems installed after April 1, 2015 has been extended to 12 years! Click here to see the details.

Brownstones are located throughout the city- sometimes they are single family homes, and often they are multi-family condos, like this one. NETR has the experience in all sorts of brownstone installations to meet the needs of and homeowner with heating and cooling problems.

Our owner needed to be able to control the heat in her unit, and a single head Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating unit worked wonders for her. The unit was installed in her kitchen, providing heat and air circulation throughout her home. We were able to thread the wiring through her bathroom and install the outdoor unit right under the fire escape stairs- without interfering with the safety of the escape.


Installation with Little Visual Impact

We were able to tuck the outdoor unit conveniently under the fire escape stairs, avoiding any additional visual clutter to the building while still maximizing our homeowner's comfort.

As you can see from the picture below, the unit is placed right under the stairs but not in the way of exit and safety- making it a perfect place to minimize the impact on neighbors or the outside of the building.

Three-Family Victorian in Somerville Get State of the Art Ductless Air Conditioning System

Somerville three-family Victorian gets ductless heating and cooling system

This beautiful Victorian home in Somerville was converted into a multi-family complex for three families.  It has a gas, central HVAC system without any ductwork, which forced all the families to use window air conditioners to try to keep the home cool during hot and humid summers.  Like many older homes, this Victorian is not well insulated and the old wooden windows were not designed with window AC units in mind.  

The homeowners had to worry about installing the heavy units, trying to adequately insulate the edges, and preventing any water from leaking into the walls just to stay comfortable in the summer.  Then they would have to plan a weekend in the fall to remove the AC units and hope we won’t get a surprise heat wave after they have been stowed for the winter. These three families knew there had to be a better solution.

After some research, they gave us a call here at NETR to learn more about Mitsubishi ductless cooling systems and to see if it would be a good fit for their home.  We have plenty of experience in the area and with similar homes, so we knew that we could get each family the comfort they craved and ensure they would not break the bank for a more efficient cooling system.


Problem: An old Victorian home, converted to serve three families had no cooling and needed a more permanent solution than window units to keep the homes comfortable.

Solution: By adding three zones of Mitsubishi ductless cooling, each family will have the relief they need and be able to be customize it to their needs, rather than having one unit control the temperature for all three families.

The main concern for each family was to find a cost-effective, efficient cooling system for their individual homes in the building.  We needed to create a system where each unit could control their individual temperature and energy bills independent of the other families.

We were able to use an outdoor condenser and an indoor “cassette” wall unit in each area so that each home could individually control the comfort of their space. This also means they would be billed individually to avoid any problems with dividing bills.

You can see in the picture that the outdoor piping into the building matches the trim, preventing it from taking away from the outside beauty of this home.  You can also see that each indoor unit is mounted on the wall to keep it out of the way.  This wall mounted air conditioner solution means the families no longer have to give up their windows for half the year or deal with bulky and noisy window units.

One of the most amazing features of Mitsubishi ductless is that it can act as both a heating and cooling system. So, the families, especially on the upper floor, can use this system as supplemental heating in the winter.  The ductless heat pumps easily take the chill out of a room with the touch of a button and are more efficient and less dangerous than standard space heaters. This gives each family the perfect comfort they want without affecting families in other parts of the building. Whether they want it warm or cold, the power in in their hand!

The ductless heating and cooling systems are also incredibly quiet, which is excellent for a three-family home like this one. Everyone will be able to sleep peacefully without hearing a large window unit rumble to life.  Because the ductless units distribute air throughout a space while monitoring the humidity and temperature, the units will allow the bulk of the condo unit to be effectively cooled with just one wall cassette.  However, the system is designed to be expandable so if one of the families decide to add additional cooling to the master bedroom at a later date, it can easily be done.

We were happy to be able to help all three families get the comfort they wanted and save them money on energy bills.  They will now get the efficient, cooling comfort they need during the summer and be able to add a touch of heat when they need it in the winter, without turning on the gas heating system for the building.  This will make every family in the house happy and independent.
