- This is a Mitsubishi ducted mini split heat pump system for a whole house installed by Clean Energy Comfort. This system is a Mitsubishi Hyper Heat P Series with a ducted air handler in the basement. We replaced an oil furnace in this home with this mini split system. This was installed about a year ago, and the homeowner has reported that the cost to heat and cool his home for the entire year has been lower than what it was to heat the home for one month with the old oil furnace.

I recently installed a fujitsu slim ducted 18000 BTU heat pump. It has one indoor unit and it has 4 supply diffusers and a return. It works well however it has been getting an error that is related to communication of branch selector and indoor unit. This system does not have a branch selector. I am wondering if it's a programming thing with the thermostat. The stock thermostat that comes with it is basic and the instructions for programming functions is written in a way that is very hard to understand. Anybody have any idea of how to tell this thing there is no other units or components. Maybe a better thermostat????
Sorry for the delayed response, did not see this message before. It is quite possible that the error message is due to dip switch settings on the outdoor unit. It could be a setting in the thermostat as well. Can you contact the contractor that installed it, or another Fujitsu dealer in the area? They should be able to help get that cleared for you.
are mini split more efficient than a Natural Gas furnace
HERPY DERPEDY yes its cheaper and more effient to move heat rather than make heat however in a cold climate it uses a back up electric element which is costly so to have one of these with a gas furnace or wood stove as back up would be good
What Ryan said is true, however Mitsubishi has a line of heat pumps called Hyper Heat heat pumps, and these are capable of producing 100% rated heating capacity down to 5° outdoor temperature, and can heat down to -13° outdoor temperature, so back up heat is not necessary except in very cold climates. We are located in Salem, OR, so our climate here is pretty mild, and these systems work extremely well.
Ryan O'Connor what’s a good split system that you would recommend ? For a 1300 sq 2 Level home
There are many options available, and it depends on your definition of "good." We are big fans of the Mitsubishi heating & cooling equipment, and they have different indoor units to fit pretty much any scenario. We are also a Trane dealer, and they have great products available too. I would recommend that you have a heating & cooling specialist in your area come do an evaluation on the home, determine the proper equipment sizing through heating & cooling load calculations, and then provide you with some options that would fit your home.
Define "efficient". ;)
If you define efficient as watt of energy in, vs watt of energy out (IE 95% efficiency), then heat pumps are more efficient than gas. Above a certain temperature.
Heat pumps can run as high as 500% efficient if it's not too cold outside. Usually they're 200-300% efficient. The greater the interior/exterior temp differential, the less efficient a heat pump. All models have different specs. Some are useless below 0C, some work well down to -30C.
Where true "efficiency" comes in, is the price of energy. Gas is cheap, but varies regionally. As does electric prices (which powers heat pumps). Usually the dollar heating cost of a heat pump is similar or slightly higher than gas, in climates above -15C or so.
However, a heat pump is also an air conditioner for summer. Two units in 1. So upfront upgrade costs usually go farther with a heat pump.
Summary: Heat pumps almost always win. But there's lots of math. Check your specs, energy prices, and heat requirements.
