Glen Ridge Home Transformed with Mitsubishi Hyper Heat Pump System
A homeowner in Glen Ridge, NJ, residing in a mid-1930s home, decided to upgrade their aging steam boiler system and add air conditioning to the house for the first time. To achieve both goals, they opted to install a Mitsubishi Hyper Heat cold climate heat pump. ICS installed a new ducted system for the upper floors and a ductless system for the lower floor, providing efficient heating and cooling throughout the home.
Problem
The customer had an old steam boiler system that was noisy, costly to run, and only provided heat. Additionally, the house had no air conditioning, making it uncomfortable during warmer months. The outdated system required an upgrade to improve comfort and efficiency.
Solution
ICS installed a Mitsubishi Hyper Heat cold climate heat pump, utilizing a combination of a ducted system for the upper floors and a ductless system for the lower floor. This setup provided even heating and cooling throughout the home using just one external heat pump unit, effectively replacing the old steam boiler system.
THE BENEFITS
The new heating and cooling system greatly improved the home’s comfort, providing consistent air conditioning throughout and even, quiet heating that eliminated the disruptive noises from the old steam radiators. The Mitsubishi Hyper Heat pump system is also more energy-efficient, reducing operational costs compared to the outdated steam oil boiler. Financially, the customer benefited significantly by taking advantage of a $2,000 tax credit, utility rebate program, and the 0% on-bill repayment through PSE&G, allowing them to have the system installed with no upfront cost. Additionally, this modern upgrade enhances the overall value of the home, making it more attractive and efficient.
