When choosing the right kind of air filter for your home, what should you consider? There are two primary kinds of top-quality air filters: hybrid catechin pre-filters and Platinum Deodorizing filters. Both are remarkably effective at ridding indoor air of ugly odors before it is passed through a second filtration system for allergens, pollutants and particulate matter — but they work in different ways. To find out which kind will best work with your lifestyle, read on.  

As the U.S. increases its focus on reducing carbon emissions, Mitsubishi Electric heat pump systems help you maintain high levels of year-round comfort while decreasing your impact on the environment. They help reduce your carbon footprint by providing sustainable and energy-efficient operation without burning fossil fuels for heating.   

A heat pump is an energy-efficient cooling and heating system that is installed outside of your home and connected to an indoor mini-split unit. Learn more.

Mini-splits gained an early reputation for being great hot- and cold-spot solutions. They were also called “ductless-splits” because your only options were ductless-styled indoor units. The options have come a long way. Mitsubishi Electric offers ductless, ducted or a mix of ductless and ducted indoor units for every lifestyle and type of home. Ductless models include wall- and floor-mounted and ceiling cassettes. Ducted air handlers include compact horizontal style and larger multi-position options.

Mini-splits are energy-efficient, reliable and eco-friendly solutions to improve your home’s comfort with low utility costs and zero emissions. Learn more.

All new technologies present us with a cost-vs.-benefit decision. Sometimes we make a detailed calculation, while other times we weigh out the pros and cons in our head, but the question always takes a similar form – do the conveniences and other advantages of this technology justify its cost?

What if you could own a home that’s comfortable in all seasons, have top-of-the-line indoor air quality and save significantly (or even receive payback) on your utility bills? You can. 

“Smart Home” is one of those buzz phrases that can mean different things to different people, like “cloud computing” or “Internet 2.0”. Here are five useful trends in home technology that fall under the banner of the Smart Home.

Traditional cooling and heating solutions are a bit slow on the uptake, blasting freezing-cold air one minute and then nothing the next. So, what gives? Temperature delivery should be more streamlined with less temperature swings. That’s where INVERTER technology comes in. Part of the ductless compressor unit, INVERTER technology selectively changes the motor speed according to home temperature demands. This variable compression speed means a smoother, more streamlined approach to temperature delivery that’s also lighter on the pocketbook.  

The movement toward energy-efficient homes is not slowing down. In fact, as Americans become more intent on conservation and avoiding high energy bills, they look for more ways to be energy efficient in their homes – often focusing on wasted resources and inefficient systems.  HOW TO MAKE YOUR HOME MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT From energy-saving, efficient air conditioners and heaters to new windows, there are many ways to be more energy efficient – these are just a few that get you started.
