We moved into a recently renovated brownstone that does not have central air. We’d like to invest in a system and are trying to decide on the best one, both for cost, energy efficiency and performance\/asthetics.<\/p>\n
We got a quote from All Mechanical for the Mitsubishi Ductless system and Space Pak that came out even for each system. Does anyone have any guidance on whether one is better than the other?<\/p>\n
The Mitsubishi units seem more energy efficient because it is zoned, but the downside is you have to change the filters every two weeks or so during peak usage. I don’t like being able to see the units, but they have models that can now be concealed behind vents.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We moved into a recently renovated brownstone that does not have central air.
