How To Use Your Mitsubishi Mini-Split Heat Pumps Efficiently

By Leave a Comment

Properly installed and operated mini-split heat pumps are highly efficient systems, perfect for Massachusetts’s weather.

When installing a new HVAC system, our Jay Moody HVAC team takes the time to create an efficient system design that fits your needs.

Here are a few tips to help you best utilize your Mitsubishi mini-splits’ capabilities for ultimate efficiency and comfort!

Set Your Mini-Split Thermostat for Comfort

  • Set your mini-split remote or thermostat at a temperature that feels comfortable
    • It’s OK to slightly overheat one room to assist in heating another area of your home
  • Instead of using “auto”, use the “heat” or “cool” settings
  • SET IT & FORGET IT!
    • Avoid turning your units “on” and “off” to control temperature.
  • Keep your heat pump ON in very cold weather
    • Cold-climate heat pumps work below zero degrees.
    • Set the unit to “off” when outside temperature is mild and heating/cooling is not needed.

Use Your Backup Heating System Only When Needed

  • Make your ductless heat pump your primary heat source by turning your existing heating system down 5-10 degrees.
  • When possible, keep the doors open to rooms without ductless units. This allows your heat pump to better circulate heat.

Annual Preventative Maintenance

  • Annual maintenance includes a cleaning and inspection of your system to prepare it for the upcoming season.
  • Many equipment warranties require annual maintenance on equipment to qualify
    • Mitsubishi requires its systems to be maintenced annually by a qualified contractor in order to be covered under warranty (Jay Moody HVAC is a qualified Diamond Elite Mitsubishi Contractor)

  • We engaged Jay Moody to retrofit our 1935 Arts & Crafts brick bungalow with ceiling mounted heat pumps to provide air conditioning throughout the house and to reduce our oil burning for heat and hot water. Paul Sharley did a very good job with the design, and Paul Bilodeau was outstanding in the implementation. We’d struggled for years to find a way to bring central air to this old home with plaster and metal lathe walls, and this is a perfect solution for us! The design has 4 ceiling units on the first floor and one in each of three bedrooms on the 2nd floor, giving us seven zones, which enables us to be very efficient with our heating and cooling. It was important to us to retain the gracious look of the home, especially on the main floor, and the low-profile ceiling units do just that. These units are usually only installed on the top floor because they are a few inches deeper than the joists, however the bungalow has four eaves closets on the 2nd floor. Jay Moody was able to position the units in these deep closets so that they have virtually no impact on the usability of that space. Paul Bilodeau worked with us to position the units so that they looked very nice on the first floor and were conveniently positioned in the 2nd floor closets. We have been very happy with the performance of the system during the summer and now that the cold weather has started. The people at Jay Moody are wonderful. Every single person we talked to was very kind and polite. We cannot say enough about Paul & Paul. Extremely competent, responsive and a pleasure to work with!

  • So accommodating to fit us in based on our busy schedule. Technical experts that were able to explain everything in easy to understand terms for us "non-experts". Made some timely, costly recommendations for further maintenance until our next annual appt. Courteous, prompt, efficient and friendly to name a few other attributes of Jay Moody HVAC. Thx for the support.

  • We would 100% recommend hiring Jay Moody. We had them replace our entire heating/cooling system with a central heat pump and air handler. They also replaced our old water heater with a hybrid electric water heater. Leo was very informative about our specific situation and what equipment would work well. He was also very responsive with any questions we had. Joey and the installation team were very professional, on time with the installation and clean. Vince and Sydney in the office were great at staying in touch during the process and making things very simple for us. Thank you all again!

  • Hyojan was very kind, professional and seemed very knowledgeable when responding to my gas service request. He found a potentially dangerous situation with my exhaust pipe and made it a priority to fix it. As I am new to learning about a gas burner, he was very willing to give me information on the main parts of the unit. I would recommend him and hope he's available for the spring AC service.

    Allison Michener-Clark

  • Great experience from the proper assessment of the home to the install of our mini split. The Technicians Adam and Bret were Professional, Clean and did a great job. Thank you!
