With these cold temps everyone is having, would post on here too. If anyone has questions or considering it, ask all the questions.
1300 sq ft upstairs, 750 sq ft finished walkout basement, Northern Ohio. Single story with a walkout basement. New windows, semi ok attic insulation and shitty construction accounts for air leak I can't fix yet.
4 rooms have indoor units (6k,6k, 12k, 18k) with a branch box in the attic. Turned it on for the first time Jan '23. This is the coldest we have encounter with this setup and its doing very well. Was down to 0*F with a wind chill of -11*F. Todays High will be 13*F and a low of 4*F. We have still installed but not on for most of the rooms electric baseboard heaters on 240v. I bought the system for A/C, because we don't have central a/c I wanted something and was tired of window units. I decided to go with Mitsubishi because it would heat down to -13*F with a COF of 1 still.
The highest I saw on my Emporia was 7kw pulled for a few minutes. As I typed this, I am looking at the data and it appears those high pull are after a defrost mode (no way to officially tell, but seems to be that). I would imagine that it is getting the house back up to temp. On an average temperature day of 35*, it will pull 1.8kw/hr.
We have the 18k upstairs heating living room, kitchen and shooting down the hall. 6k in 2 bedrooms and one bed with no heat (baseboards but I don't have it on). 12k in the finished basement and 2 bedrooms down there with baseboards turned on. IDU for living areas are set to 69 and bedrooms all set to 67.
As far as A/C, it uses less energy than my 2 windows units that I ran. For heat, I didn't have the Emporia long enough to get a gauge on energy use to heat the house solely on baseboards.
I know I don't have much info for this post, but figured I would make a thread so people can discuss Mitsubishi Heat Pumps if need be.
I did the entire install myself except for r410a install.
I do have this amazing website that I came across that give real number for COF and energy use that is privately done (not manufacture numbers). You can search all heat pumps. https://ashp.neep.org/#!/
