Summary: NEHPCO was called for a ductless replacement in Arlington. The customer had a 15-year-old, three-zone Mitsubishi ductless system serving the home’s main living areas and bedrooms that needed to be updated. The team replaced the aging equipment with a new Mitsubishi system featuring inverter-driven technology, R-454B refrigerant, and more.
The Challenge
Although the customer currently owned a three-zone Mitsubishi ductless system, it was nearing the end of its useful lifespan and ready to be replaced. Not only had the manufacturer’s warranty expired, but Mitsubishi technology had improved significantly since the equipment was installed. Since the old installation was not designed with modern HVAC performance in mind, the system was not providing the customer with maximum efficiency.
The Solution
After evaluating the home’s current heating and cooling needs, NEHPCO determined that a replacement and redesign would offer the customer increased efficiency and comfort compared to their current system. The team chose a new Mitsubishi advanced multi-zone heat pump system with inverter-driven technology, improved low-temperature heating performance, higher operating efficiencies, and Mitsubishi’s latest R-454B refrigerant technology.
During the replacement process, New England Heat Pump Co. upgraded the system layout to improve overall performance, while careful attention was given to equipment placement and line-set routing. This created a clean, seamless appearance that established the foundation for efficient performance.
The Results
This Arlington, MA homeowner now has a modern Mitsubishi ductless system that is capable of both heating and cooling multiple rooms independently. The project qualified for Mass Save incentives, which helped the customer save thousands on their installation. The new system is also backed by Mitsubishi’s 12-year manufacturer warranty and provides greater comfort, quieter operation, and better energy efficiency.

Benefits of Mitsubishi Heat Pumps
New England Heat Pump Co. only works with Mitsubishi technology. Here’s why:
- Zoned heating and cooling. Heat pumps provide the opportunity to create individual “zones” where the temperature of the space can be controlled independently of other zones in the home.
- No duct losses. Did you know? Ductwork is responsible for energy losses of up to 20 to 30 percent, according to ENERGY STAR. When installed in a ductless system, heat pumps eliminate this.
- H2i and Sumo Hyper-Heat technology. Mitsubishi manufactures some of the most reliable heat pumps on the market with their H2i Hyper-Heat units. These are designed to maintain performance down to -13 degrees Fahrenheit, while newer Sumo single-zone units maintain performance down to -22 degrees.
- 3D i-See Sensor™ technology. Mitsubishi systems come with sensors that constantly scan the temperature in the room to identify hot and cold spots. This even identifies human body heat and will trigger the system to redirect airflow toward or away from people in the room.
- Patented dual barrier coating. The Mitsubishi brand also has a special inner coating that repels particulates like dust, oil, and hair. This keeps internal components clean to maintain energy efficiency and prevent mold from accumulating.
- Inverter-driven compressors. Unlike central ACs or even window units that turn off and on to maintain temperatures, heat pumps use inverter-driven compressors to increase or decrease fan speed. Think of it like driving a car with cruise control.
- Whisper-quiet operation. On average, a heat pump’s noise output is around 32 decibels, or the volume of a normal human whisper.
- Advanced air filtration. Many Mitsubishi heat pumps come with a washable nano platinum filter with a 3D honeycomb design to capture the smallest air particles. Some models also have a Plasma Quad feature that ionizes incoming air to break down bacteria, viruses, and mold.
