I've had a Mitsubishi mini-split system for several years and love it. We installed it during a remodel where we didn't have the space for a fully ducted system. Do these new systems from Quilt, Gradient, and others offer some sort of fundamental advantage over the current systems? I'm trying to advise a friend whether he should wait for something better or move forward with today's technology.
Hil Bill, the Mitsubishi systems are good performance, quiet, and very efficient. They're great. However some people don't like the aesthetics, they're large/bulky, and don't use software for optimization or provide a modern software controls experience. We unfortunately can't share more about our product that what is in the article, but if your friend has those objections, it might be worth waiting. If not, I agree the current systems are great! Note: Gradient is not a mini-split, they are producing a window unit, which is a different market.
I'm concerned that the move away from gas toward all-electric makes consumers increasingly dependent on undependable electric distribution corporations. Further, this is happening at the same moment that all electric distribution systems are becoming more vulnerable to climate-change-amplified floods, wind storms, tornadoes, fires, ice storms, etc. Can you address the need to harden electric distribution systems? Is anyone working on this? Thanks!
