The Mitsubishi Air Handler is an indoor unit designed to work or run in conjunction with Mitsubishi Electric’s ductless mini-split heat pump and air conditioning systems. It serves as the central point of the heating and cooling system, delivering conditioned air throughout the home or building via a network of ducts or air handlers. The Mitsubishi Air Handler is known for its energy efficiency, quiet operation, and customizable controls that allow users to set temperatures and schedules according to their preferences. It is a popular choice for residential and commercial applications due to its reliable performance and advanced features.

What to Look for in a Quality Mitsubishi Air Handler

When looking for a quality Mitsubishi Air Handler, there are several factors to consider. Here are some of the following important traits to look for:

Size and Capacity: Ensure that the air handler you choose is appropriately sized to accommodate your home or building. An air handler that is too small won’t be able to provide sufficient heating or cooling, while one that is too large may waste energy and money.

Energy Efficiency: Look for an air handler with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating, which indicates how efficiently the unit can cool your home. Higher SEER ratings mean lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.

Quiet Operation: Mitsubishi air handlers are known for their quiet operation, but it’s still worth checking the noise levels to ensure that the unit won’t be disruptive to your daily life.

Customizable Controls: Choose an air handler with customizable controls, so you can adjust the temperature and fan speed to your liking. This feature can help you save money on energy bills and ensure that you are always comfortable.

Air Filtration: The Mitsubishi Air Handler has advanced air filtration systems that can remove allergens and pollutants from the air. Look for models with HEPA filters or other advanced filtration options to keep your indoor air clean and healthy.

Warranty: Finally, look for an air handler that comes with a warranty. A quality warranty can give you peace of mind and protect your investment in case of any defects or malfunctions.

How to Install a Mitsubishi Air Handler 

Installing a Mitsubishi Air Handler and Mitsubishi ducted heat pump is a complex process that requires a professional HVAC technician. Here is a general overview or tips for the installation process:

Site Preparation: The technician will assess the site and determine the best location for the outdoor unit, which houses the Mitsubishi heat pump. They will also identify where the indoor air handler should be installed.

• Mounting the Indoor Air Handler: The technician will mount the Mitsubishi ducted air handler on the wall or ceiling and connect it to the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring. They will also connect the air handler to the ductwork, if necessary.
• Installing the Outdoor Heat Pump: The technician will install the outdoor heat pump on a flat, level surface and connect it to the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring. They will also run a drain line to remove condensation.
• Refrigerant Charge: The technician will charge the system with refrigerant, ensuring that the correct amount is used for the specific model and installation.
• Electrical Connections: The technician will connect the electrical wiring between the indoor air handler, outdoor heat pump, and thermostat.
• Final Testing: The technician will run a series of tests to ensure that the system is operating correctly and that the air handler is delivering conditioned air throughout the home or building.

It’s important to note that each installation is unique and may require additional steps or adjustments depending on the specific site and requirements. It’s best to consult with a licensed HVAC technician to ensure a proper and safe installation of your Mitsubishi Air Handler and Heat Pump system.
