Why should I invest in a Mitsubishi Heat Pump?

---

When it comes to heat pumps that can maintain full heating capacity at extremely cold temperatures, the options are quite limited. Of over 200 brands evaluated by an independent third party, NEEP, only 40 made the cut. Notably, Mitsubishi stands out in this category, with its heat pumps accounting for 60% of the list. Meanwhile, 12 different competitors share the remaining 40%. For those in the Ithaca area looking for reliable HVAC solutions, including options from Atlas Cooling and Heating, these facts speak for themselves, especially when considering the importance of effective Ithaca furnace repair.

Fujitsu, Daikin, Mitsubishi. They're all cold climate heat pumps, right? What's the difference? It's like comparing Toyota and Honda! That's correct! However, when temperatures drop to -13 degrees, only one pump significantly outperforms the others, delivering 50% more BTUs. Can you guess which brand that is? Mitsubishi stands out as a superior product because it provides heat when it really matters. For more insights, check out NEEP, a third-party independent heat pump testing agency, to verify the facts about any brand you are considering, including options from Atlas Cooling and Heating, a reputable service in HVAC Ithaca, which also offers Ithaca furnace repair.

Why should you choose Atlas Heat Pumps for your HVAC needs in Ithaca? Because we are a Mitsubishi Diamond Certified Contractor. This prestigious certification means we have undergone extensive training at a Mitsubishi training campus, ensuring that we adhere to a rigorous installation protocol set by Mitsubishi. Our performance has been monitored for years, and we were awarded Diamond Contractor status only when Mitsubishi felt confident that we would represent their brand with integrity. When you purchase from Atlas Cooling, you benefit from one of the best warranties available: a 12-year parts warranty, thanks to our status as a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor. That's two more years than what you'd typically get with other companies. Additionally, Mitsubishi offers an optional matching labor warranty. Why are we better than the competition? We create an energy model specific to your home to ensure that your heat pump is correctly sized. We then utilize Mitsubishi's Diamond System Builder to design the system, checking components and ensuring design ceilings are not exceeded. Once we are onsite with your equipment installed, we pressure test to 600 P.S.I, vacuum down the lines to 500 microns, and conduct a vacuum decay test to ensure the system is leak-free. These extra steps are sometimes overlooked by larger companies because homeowners may not be fully informed about manufacturer installation protocols. Technicians often feel pressure to move quickly to the next job. However, the difference between a proper installation and skipping these critical steps can mean the difference between a system that runs efficiently for years and one that starts failing after just six months. Vacuuming down the pipes that carry the refrigerant removes any moisture in the system. Any moisture left behind can combine with the POE oils in the refrigerant and turn into acid, which can damage your system from the inside. No matter who you choose for your Ithaca furnace repair, always ask detailed questions about their installation practices.
