Mitsubishi 5 zone Hyper heat Ducted/Ductless Minisplit system

In this video we show a recent 5 zone system with 2 outdoor units. This was a very unique home and our designers and installers did a great job laying out and installing this system!

If you're handy you can do a lot of the work yourself with ductless systems. I do HVAC controls, and I'm Mitsubishi certified. The equipment alone for a 5 zone 48K BTU system will run $11K before factoring in extras and installation. If you can DIY them you get an awesome HVAC system. You'll need to calculate the line set lengths to add the correct amount of refrigerant charge. You can't just hook up gauges to these systems to check the charge. The going rate for a 2 ton conventional system changeout is now running close to $10K. With ductless you're trading no ductwork for more line set and more complicated condensate drain. Mitsubishi has ceiling cassettes that will fit in 16" on center ceiling joists and I think they are a cleaner install if you have attic access.

Thanks for the video. I like the idea of having an air handler in the attic to feed the different vents in a non-intrusive manner. That is probably what I will have done.

Nice clean job

[@jessicaweaver6728]

Finally got it up and running. The only delays we had was because we realized we needed some extra parts (I’ll list that below) kzbin.infoUgkxihMYiJNXcHdbH-7ihymsLz61l7jVyb5O . So we have a loft where our current hvac just couldn’t seem to keep cool during the summer. We have been using a window unit since we bought this house over 6 years ago (all the houses in this neighborhood were built in the 80’s and majority of the houses built like ours use a window unit). I hate window units because they are just so noisy and the one we had really only cools one side of the loft. I had contemplated upgrading our current HVAC, but with all the rising prices these days, it would take years before saving up enough to do that. With the advice of my father-in-law (used to run an HVAC business), he recommended we get an inverter instead. We thought we bought everything we needed, but there were just a few other parts we didn’t anticipate needing (which is what caused most of our delay). My friend and father-in-law did all the work to get it installed and running and now we have nice cool air circulating nicely throughout the entire loft. It is very quiet and even the outside unit is much quieter than our main HVAC unit. Saved ourselves thousands getting this.

I think it’s a nice looking system.

I am scheduled to have a new Mitsubishi Intellaheat system installed in my home here in Wisconsin. It will replace my Lennox outdoor 14 seer a/c unit. I have researched HVAC products in depth and the Mitsubishi line of products are innovative and just what I was looking for.

[@kepple319]

How much does it cost? And how many zones?

[@jko0526]

My total cost was $16k I don’t really have zones since it was retrofit into the duct work of my home.

[@DR-um2bv]

Ok looks like you had it 10mths , was it worth it or do you think would have been better with the old style. Heating or cooling???

[@jko0526]

Well the natural gas is cheaper than electricity here in Wisconsin yet so it does hit the pocket book pretty hard on the really cold days. Also if the Republican Party wins the election in November it sounds like they will revert a lot of the electric movement in the country that the current administration has in place, so probably no rebates and natural gas will continue to be a bargain. Mitsubishi is a great company with reliable equipment, but I guess if I had to do it all over again, I would go the old style way with a heat pump that kicks over at 35 degrees without the cutting edge sub zero technology. My intell-Heat system works as it should but maybe I was a little quick to jump on the all electric band wagon

[@user-xu2jj6eh3u]

Customers in our area do not like or want the line sets run on the outside of the home, "that is so ugly" is the normal response. We use the smart multi hyper heat units with branch boxes and line sets installed indoors.

[@valeriehofmann2615]

How do you heat bathrooms or bedrooms that don't have a unit? Just keeping doors open? How far will that work from the unit?

[@ktran250]

What did you use for that too and bottom isolation

[@bellalibbybilly9258]

I have single floor, 3 small bedrooms, plus living,dining kitchen and bathroom, totalling 880 ft2 . Will a ducted SPZ air handler system, relocated to the attic be adequate ? How many BTU'S will be required and can the ducted vents be placed from the attic to the ceilings of every room?

[@cahoonm]

Thank you. Can you recommend the best thermostat for Mitsubishi P series Ducted system 3 ton 19 seer? We are wantimng an easy to read and djust wifi type.

[@IsDualVoid]

What is the support on the top of condenser called? I have a 5 ton outside my house and would like to add a similar support

[@wiz_kid]

I have a unit that looks like this. Goes to a Mitsubishi air handler. I feel like the hyper heat system is quite loud. Any idea how to make it no so? I got a big doublestack for my 2000 SF house

[@michaelverzosa106]

Hi. What is the model number of that outdoor unit? Is it MXZ-5C42NAHZ2?

[@mbperfection]

can this branch box for both indoor and outdoor?

[@heineken9931]

How much did this cost installed?

[@bellalibbybilly9258]

How many square feet will the ducted heatpump/ air handler cover?

[@noeticsquint1700]

What was the total price and cost of install on a job like this?

[@thetattooedguy1413]

I would say a LOT $$$$$$

[@prvs2004]

Hello, Can you share the cost of these systems to get an idea between regular Vs multi splits

[@javiercardenas1126]

the cost really depends on the needs of your house, a simple install for a 3 head unit hi wall mount 6k btu 6k btu 12k btu pair with a 24k btu condenser multizone electrical included can range between 8,000.00 and 10,000.00

[@simonac688.]

2 errors = disconect electrical switch is too close to the ground 220 volts beware check out code in your area ⚡️⚡️/ heat pumps require space under the unit check out in manual the reason is " defrost mode in winter will produce ice and lots of water and will end up destroying the outdoor unit.... 30 years experience here whith mitsubishi & other high quality units 👍👍

[@TheRKtect2]

Nice system, but what did this system cost? Ball park??

[@owenleroux5475]

I'm in HVAC sales, I just sold a 5 zone system, identical to this one for 28000 + Tax (Canadian dollars)

[@TheRKtect2]

@@owenleroux5475 Thanks! ...so about $20,500 or $21,000 US. I'll be meeting with a Mitsubishi rep tomorrow. We'll see !?

[@owenleroux5475]

@@TheRKtect2 let me know how much they quote you, i’m curious

[@valeriehofmann2615]

@@TheRKtect2 my guy will be here Wednesday how much did they quote you?

[@TheRKtect2]

@@valeriehofmann2615 No quote as of yet. We met last Thursday, and the holidays have folks out of town and such. I did learn that you are restricted on the number of zones on the outdoor compressor depending upon the btu's of each zone...if over capacity, a zone could have to be it's own 1-to-1 setup. More later.

[@dinaranganathan]

If you have an average home (1500 sft to 4500 sft), and live in the frigid north of the US or Canada, then Mitsubishi HyperHeat Multi-Zone is the most inefficient system for you. You are better off installing a Mr Cool Single Zone of Multi-Zone, because Mitsubishi multizone will short cycle frequently (going to ZERO to peak - shutting down and starting up), resulting in energy consumption of over 3000Kwh. Other companies have designed the systems to modulate but not Mitsubishi.

[@0marMurillo]

Hi do you have more info on this? Building in Illinois soon and I was going to go with hyper heat Mitsubishi

[@0marMurillo]

“Variable speed Inverter-driven compressor with quiet operation features” are you sure?

[@0marMurillo]

Seems Mitsubishi can modulate. I think you are wrong

[@ryaninSartell]

not the most attractive system though

[@justinnav]

Do you have the supply side and return side registers directly next to each other in every room? If so, that is a pretty nonsensical and wildly inefficient installation.

[@joshuaseaton7002]

Those were the old electric heaters. He showed you the central return grill which has the filter in it.
