The range of Mitsubishi duct air conditioning offers very efficient solutions for air conditioning businesses and homes. Among the most demanded in Spain are the 3000, 4500, 6000, 8000 and 10.000 frigories equipments (12,000, 18,000, 24,000 BTU). Below we explain how this system works and what its advantages are.
If you are used to the British unit of measurement, it is easy to do the conversion, 1 BTU is equivalent to 0.252kcal, i.e. one frigory or kilocalorie is equivalent to approximately 4 BTU.
These air conditioning systems work thanks to a network of ducts that we install inside the false ceiling. On the one hand we have the outdoor unit and on the other the indoor unit that remains hidden in the false ceiling connected to the duct network.
It is a quieter and more discreet solution than the classic split with a unit hanging from the ceiling or wall. This is why more and more businesses are installing it and in new homes it is often pre-installed. Mitsubishi Electric’s quieter duct air conditioners operate in the 23-34 dB range. If we add to that the fact that the indoor unit is inside the false ceiling, we will hardly notice its presence.
If you don’t have a pre-installation or the space in the false ceiling is scarce, Mitsubishi has compact indoor units. You only need 20cm high to install the unit inside the ceiling and it is perfectly valid for air conditioning small homes and commercial premises. This design, the most compact on the market, makes it possible to integrate it into practically any space

Opinions on ducted air conditioning
In our experience, opinions on these air-conditioning systems are very positive. One of the most outstanding aspects is that they go totally unnoticed, they do not affect the aesthetics of the business or the home.
Interior decorators love this type of solution, they provide comfort without having to have a machine hanging from the wall or ceiling.
When combined with a heat pump they allow you to enjoy the cold in the hot months and maintain a pleasant temperature in the cold months.
Its airzone system allows each room to be heated to a different temperature or turned off to make it even more efficient. From the zoning system controller we can control any parameter of the unit (speed, pressure, etc.), achieving maximum comfort with minimum consumption. In fact, if you are looking for an air-conditioning system with an A++ or A+++ energy rating, find out.
Mitsubishi duct air conditioning has a catalogue of high quality and efficient equipment. At Climanova we have a lot of experience installing these equipments in homes, hotels and commercial premises in Marbella, Estepona, Sotogrande and other nearby locations.
