Mitsubishi Ductless Mini Split Deep Clean
Our team had a big task ahead of them with this project, which made it even more exciting. The customer was looking to replace their current furnace. However, they wanted to also finish their basement in the near future. To help utilize the full space, they wanted to have the furnace moved back about 27′, and have all new ductwork added to properly heat and cool the space. This all needed to be done, while also keeping in mind of head space for when the basement is finished.

The CMS team was faced with some challenges during this install with the finished basement design not being completed, while also ensuring that we provided the proper BTU’s and CFM’s between the two zones. The upstairs ductwork was remaining, but we needed a to add all the ductwork fur a completely new zone. While many people prefer a ducted solution in their home because they do not like the ductless units, ductwork is unfortunately very bulky and can force the ceiling to be much lower than is ideal. All ductwork was wrapped to MA code with the proper insulation.
Choosing a company that knows the proper way to install ductwork is critical to how efficient your system is going to run. When the air leaves your furnace and travels through the ductwork, it loses temperature along the way. The tighter the ductwork is wrapped and sealed, the hotter the air will be when it makes it to the supply vents. Now, no matter how much you wrap and seal ductwork, it will never be 100% loss less. There will always be a temperature loss along the way, which is the other challenge. When designing a ducted solution, we need to make sure that we get the proper BTU’s and CFM’s so that even at the end of a run, there’s the proper air flow to heat and cool that space.
The dual fuel portion of this project is what brings the efficiency to the solution by providing primary cooling and supplemental heating. Dual fuel provides you with the most efficient cooling in the home, and the most efficient heating when it’s over 30 degrees outside. At 30 degrees and above outside, it’s more efficient to heat your home with a heat pump than oil, propane, or even gas. Once the temperature drops below 30, when the heat pump cannot keep up with the home’s heating demand, it will kick over and use the gas furnace. You now get the peace of mind that even if it’s too cold for the heat pump to keep up, you have the gas to heat your home.
