How Quiet Are Mitsubishi Ductless HVAC Systems Really?

Did you know? Unwanted noise is a form of pollution. Noise pollution, as defined by the National Geographic Society, is a disturbing level of sound that can affect a person’s health and mental well-being. It can cause headaches, emotional stress, hearing loss, and even raise your blood pressure. The noise your heating and cooling system makes can add to this pollution, leaving you constantly exposed.

Enter Mitsubishi ductless HVAC systems. These extra-quiet units eliminate noise pollution and can help you save money on your electric bills too. Here’s what to know and how Cape Cod Heat Pumps can help you get quiet, energy-efficient heating and cooling for your home or business.

Why Noise Levels Matter

While the sound the HVAC system makes might not be the first thing you consider when buying or renting a house, you’ll quickly find out whether it’s going to become a nuisance over time. High noise levels are distracting and disruptive, making it hard to relax, sleep, or concentrate on tasks. In spaces where noise reduction is crucial, like bedrooms and home offices, a loud HVAC system can impact your rest and productivity.

Mitsubishi Ductless Decibel Ratings Compared to Conventional

Most traditional heating and cooling systems land between 30 to 50 decibels. To compare, a standard washing machine puts out about 70 decibels of noise. A household vacuum cleaner produces around 85 decibels, while the hum of a refrigerator or the sound of an electric toothbrush sits around 50 decibels. A train horn, on the other hand, is between 96 to 110 decibels according to the Federal Railroad Administration.

A Mitsubishi heat pump is one of the quietest mini-splits available on the market and only generates about 32 decibels of noise at max power. Just to give you an idea of how quiet that is, a human whisper only registers between 20 to 30 decibels. That means Mitsubishi ductless units are quite literally whisper quiet.

More Reasons to Upgrade to a Mitsubishi Mini-Split

Ultra-quiet operation is just one reason to switch to Mitsubishi ductless. Here are some of the other awesome features you can expect when you upgrade to one of the world’s most reliable mini-split brands:

Extra Energy Savings

Since ductless heat pumps only move heat from one place to another and don’t generate it like a gas furnace or wood stove does, they require significantly less electricity to create the same amount of heating and air conditioning as a traditional unit.

Mitsubishi also uses INVERTER technology to adjust the system’s compressor speed in small increments to maintain your desired temperature without shutting the system off and turning it back on like central HVAC. This requires less power and translates to significantly cheaper utility bills.

Individual Zoning Capabilities

Like all ductless systems, Mitsubishi mini-splits offer the ability to create individual temperature zones. Instead of having your home or workplace the same temperature throughout, you can keep each zone at its own comfort level. For example, if one room is unoccupied, you can turn down your heating or AC to save money. Or, if different people have their own temperature preferences, each bedroom or office can be a separate zone.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Another excellent benefit of switching to ductless HVAC is enjoying better indoor air quality. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), people spend at least 90% of their time indoors in either their home, work, or another kind of building. This makes finding ways to get cleaner air more important than ever.

With Mitsubishi, you can remove dust, pollen, pet dander, and other contaminants from your indoor air so you can breathe easier. With sophisticated Platinum Deodorizing filters that absorb even the smallest molecules of odor, Mitsubishi mini-splits offer superior air purification and respiratory health benefits.
