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)

  • Great experience. They came to perform a cleaning and found a broken pressure sensor. After replacing it, me second stage of my 2-stage furnace started working …something it had never done since another company installed it years ago. I highly recommend them.

    Paj Hey

  • Excellent service. The techs were pleasant and respectful of my home. They were quick and efficient and very responsive which is appreciated in the winter time! They explained to me the issue and what options I have for the future. I will be using them again for all my HVAC needs and would recommend them to friends/family

  • The employees are always polite, patient and professional. The maintenance team are always through, explain everything they have done and will answer any questions.

    Caroline Henriques

  • I would highly recommend Jay Moody! The four technicians that came were very professional and polite. They cleaned up every day before they left. I had register vents plates I wanted changed. They were extremely old. I knew what I wanted done. Something they hadn’t done before. But was exactly what I wanted and services the purpose I was looking for. I would recommend Jay Moody HAVC for any of your heating or AC problems.

    Pat Checchia

  • I had a whole house heat pump installed in place of my old AC unit. Everyone that I dealt with at this company from the owner, to the office staff, along with the technicians were helpful, friendly, and professional at every interaction. They have answered all my technical questions regarding this new type of system and have been proactive assisting me through the rebate process with MassSave. I can’t speak highly enough about Jay Moody HVAC. I will definitely use them again in the future and recommend them to anyone needing this type of work.
