How efficient is Mitsubishi Mr. Slim? Back
- With Mitsubishi Mr. Slim, efficiency can be measured by the following ways: its rated energy efficiency and the zone conditioning proposition.
Rated Efficiency. Mr.Slim models are all tested and rated against Air Conditioning Institute’s (ARI) guidelines for unitary air conditioners and meet the minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (S.E.E.R.) of 10.0 as set by the Department of Energy. Mr. Slim models are available in 10 to 13 true S.E.E.R. When comparing S.E.E.R. there is one key factor to consider. Because Mr. Slim’s indoor unit is in the space being conditioned there is no duct-loss as with central systems. Duct-loss means that energy is lost as air is forced through ductwork. Though there is not currently an agency that measures this loss, it is commonly agreed to be around 20%. Mr. Slim INVERTER models operate at very energy efficient levels due to the variable speed operation of the compressor in the outdoor unit. These models run between 11 and13 S.E.E.R.
Zone Conditioning: Zoning is a more efficient way to air-condition a home. True zoning means that you can tailor individual rooms to your personal comfort tastes. Perhaps you prefer it cooler in the bedroom or kitchen. Also if do not use your guestrooms, dining room, or bonus room regularly, why cool them day-in, day-out? By not conditioning these rooms all the time you save money.
