Last year, Joel Hicks and Megan Nesbitt bought a historic 4,000-square-foot brick house in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The house was built in 1895, and after a few months in the home, the couple realized their outdated boiler system couldn’t handle the cold weather. Within a five-week period, the boiler had burned through $650 worth of fuel oil, causing Hicks and Nesbitt to immediately search for a new system. After much research and consideration, the couple selected Hyper-Heating INVERTER® (H2i®) technology from our Zoned Comfort Solutions™.
“We certainly wanted an energy-efficient system because the boiler was inefficient, but we also had no cooling capacity. Convection airflow wasn’t going to make the house comfortable on the hottest day,” said Hicks. Along with efficiency, a system that could provide year-round comfort and pay homage to the historic property were high priorities.
The couple worked with John Ake and Scott Wallick from Zimmerman Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. As Elite Diamond Contractors™ for Mitsubishi Electric, Ake and Wallick believed that Zoned Comfort Solutions were the only zoned systems up for the challenge. Ake said, “We feel that Mitsubishi Electric offers a superior product in comparison to competitors in performance, reliability and warranty. We don’t get callbacks on them.”
Since the install, the couple has been more than pleased with the zoning abilities. Hicks said, “For the two of us in such a large home, it’s a perfect system. It’s reliable and offers the energy savings that we wanted. There are no surprises with this system.”
To control the comfort of their home and save even more energy, Hicks and Nesbitt invested in kumo cloud™, the programmable controller app by Mitsubishi Electric. “It’s simple to use, it’s intuitive and very convenient for us. I really like how you don’t have to hit 28 different screens to change the temperature in the kitchen,” noted Hicks.
