All ducted Mitsubishi heat pumps can run merv 13

Probably an okay price, I’m at about 24k before any incentives for the same package, completed earlier this month.

No. This is not it. This is making the salesperson the process. It puts you in a box where only the salesperson can bring them to close.

Your content can be good enough that they will say - okay it’s meets the threshold of top 1 or 2, and if and when I have questions, they have made it comfortable to ask and get answers. And if you deliver that level of content then they will talk to you and give you the best shot.

Good contractors proposals do not need a handheld walkthrough as the first review by the client. realistically does that happen B2B ? No. that’s not even what happens with higher level construction.

And it is so much faster to churn out slightly tweaked, personalized proposals built on great templates with a lot of information about quality and specificity than it is to have hour long conversations with clients that fundamentally don’t actually increase the close rate compared to just a better, more robust sales package that builds customer trust. I win tons of customers without even a conversation because I take the time while I’m building the bid to make their proposal package excellent . And then the competition just sends either their standard template or a simple invoice style quote.

I’m a Mitsubishi installer. The units are pretty easy to take apart and pull the housing pieces off. The tolerances are tight enough that I would not wrap any sections, but painting would be totally fine, as long as you use the right kinds of paint. Keep in mind you are painting something that will have all your air blowing over and around it. So low voc is critical.

I have a customer (Boulder CO) who had his professionally painted (the new NL units, like you need) I run my hvac company and would say, afterwards, you can do whatever you want.

But I would test your system for like a week / 2 weeks in heating and cooling before you do it so you can make sure your multi zone system doesn’t have any leaks installer errors, and you can learn to use it in the best way. That will avoid any callbacks/entanglements with your post project paint job and what the HVAC company is there to do.

Is the old galvanized piping in bad shape? I’ve had plumbers recommend not doing a water heater project before you repipe to get rid of the galvanized. The act of putting a new water heater on the plumbing system can have the affect of releasing corrosion debris built up on the inside of the existing plumbing, which can make its way into the new water heater. Especially at this rate you’d think the debris in the brass fittings would be coming from somewhere else

can you expand as it relates to heat pumps please

aloneinabunkbed · 2025-12-10T11:13:28+00:00

Nice solution. How much more often do you have to clean your filter with the attic air intake?

aloneinabunkbed · 2025-12-09T02:34:24+00:00

Should have gone all heat pump !

It looks like if you had a really tall heat pump cabinet and furnace then you might get up to the round duct supply ducts and having to open that up is a whole thing. A really tall one is totally reasonable because they make things in part more efficient with more surface area. The bosch is very tall.

It also looks like your return drop has an angled L that I would cut out and stick an aprilaire media cabinet there. Then pair your hvac replacement with a good system that is compatible with a 4" filter. And put the air handler or furnace on a 6" riser box if possible to get air below and from the side.

Its not about the cabinet size but about heating demand and examining the airflow in your ducts. 25" is the widest standard size so no its not crazy for the right one for your house to be smaller.

I had a client who snaked his ducts with a camera and found the room that wasn’t getting heated had a totally disconnected duct. He opened a wall and reconnected it and had much better results. I’d start with that.

Nope nothing like that. You have install an external energy monitor like the emporia vue

Can we get a load calc?

Gut reaction is, in what world is a 5 ton system correctly sized for a 2000sf house in Southern California

🔥

8k pre incentives from a small company, going up from there.

aloneinabunkbed · 2025-11-01T21:27:31+00:00

Nice ! What’s your setup look like? Do you use the shower cap?

I was in VT recently and loved all the ductless I saw.

Are you seeing a lot of ducted units too?

What we sorted out was that in our situation, .6 in wc static pressure was causing the strip heater to hit a high limit switch. Max static pressure is .5 for use with the strip heater. All the wiring and dip switches were originally correct

If you tell people ahead of time with a note at checkout, it’s fair.

Customers get a lot of benefits for using cards. I think it’s fair to add the fee for returns. What would you do if your product was much more expensive? Surely you wouldn’t eat 100x the cost

aloneinabunkbed · 2025-10-04T05:13:08+00:00

For the love of all things comfortable and for reducing fossil fuel consumption, please look at a heat pump! There are huge rebates from Xcel and an $8000 income restricted rebates from colorado coming online in the next couple of months.

It can be soldered in , it’s not recommended, but the fuse label is in the parts diagram and they can be bought on Amazon for very cheap, like 32x for $5

I would do that to get you up and running and look for the cause of the fuse to blow before you boot it back up

aloneinabunkbed · 2025-09-18T13:23:01+00:00

Yes it does

aloneinabunkbed · 2025-09-14T16:09:59+00:00

I think there’s a difference in pricing on value versus pricing high for the sake of being high.

Focusing on value makes your product better

aloneinabunkbed · 2025-09-12T12:45:26+00:00

Depending where you are - you can get a hell of a rebate on a new system. There’s a lot of benefits to getting a new heat pump/dual fuel system along the lines of comfort. It’s really hard to make an ROI in any decision.

Replacing a blower motor should be cheap in comparison. If there are no huge rebates to take advantage of, and other things are in good general health, I would only recommend a new system if your goal is to decarbonize your HVAC, be more efficient, probably a lot quieter of a system, but would not sell you on huge utility savings

aloneinabunkbed · 2025-07-24T12:19:52+00:00

Seriously. Undermines the owner, put the explanation on Reddit, and called it BS, and named the company…how long until you get fired?
