Mitsubishi Electric

Why we fit a lot of these

Mitsubishi Electric equipment is inverter-driven, which means the compressor modulates rather than cycling hard on and off. In practice that shows up as steadier temperatures and quieter running — the system spends most of its time at part load instead of blasting and stopping.

The other reason is zoning. Being able to condition one part of a building without conditioning all of it matters more in older Chattanooga housing stock than people expect, because additions and converted attics rarely behave like the rest of the house.

Where it makes sense

• Additions and converted spaces the existing system was never sized for
• Rooms that have always been uncomfortable regardless of thermostat setting
• Buildings with no practical duct route, where running ductwork means losing ceiling height or closet space
• Light commercial spaces where different areas are occupied at different times

Diamond Contractor — Preferred

We hold Mitsubishi Electric’s Diamond Contractor certification at Preferred level. It requires training on their equipment and adherence to their installation standards, and it lets us offer extended warranty terms that are not available through uncertified installers.

If you are comparing quotes, that is a fair question to ask whoever else you are talking to.

What we will tell you honestly

Ductless is not automatically the right answer. If your ductwork is sound and your problems are down to an ageing system rather than the distribution, a conventional replacement usually costs less and performs just as well. We will say so.
