Despite being a well-established technology overseas for over 30 years, heat pump systems are still relatively new to many U.S. consumers. Join us as we unravel some of the prevalent “myths” surrounding these systems and shed light on the truth.
Myth: Heat Pumps Thrive Only in Mild Climates
The Truth: As the colder months approach and homeowners gear up for winter, a common misconception surfaces: “Heat pumps won’t work well in our freezing temperatures.”
This is a myth that’s ripe for debunking. While the notion might have held some truth in the past, modern heat pump technology has evolved significantly. Heat pumps function by transferring heat using refrigerant. In heating mode, the outdoor unit absorbs heat from the air and transfers it indoors to warm your home—an all-electric process that’s more efficient than fuel-burning systems. And the best part? Heat pumps are more than up to the task, even in frigid weather.
Gone are the days when heat pumps struggled to maintain indoor temperatures when the thermometer dipped below 40°F. Today’s variable-capacity heat pumps are game-changers, outperforming traditional alternatives across all climate conditions.
Winter-Ready Performance
Dependable heating is crucial, especially in cold climates where winter’s bite can be severe. Luckily, Mitsubishi Electric has engineered an energy-efficient solution that thrives even in extreme cold.
Enter the all-climate heat pump systems featuring Hyper-Heating INVERTER® (H2i®) technology. These systems offer unparalleled heating performance, maintaining 100 percent rated capacity in outdoor temperatures as low as 5°F and guaranteeing operation down to a bone-chilling -13°F. For those who seek even greater resilience, H2i plus® technology extends full performance to temperatures as frigid as -5°F.
How does it work? Variable-capacity heat pumps equipped with Hyper-Heating INVERTER technology defy the typical decrease in pressure, refrigerant flow rate, and operational capacity experienced in cold climates. Instead, these systems maintain higher compressor speeds and pressures at lower outdoor temperatures, ensuring exceptional heat transfer performance.
Whether you’re looking to replace your entire HVAC system or seeking targeted heating solutions for specific rooms, consider a Mitsubishi Electric heat pump system. Upgrading means embracing unmatched comfort, superior efficiency, and unwavering performance—even on the coldest winter days.
