Project Insights

Paul and Marion Lynch purchased and renovated a 1960s single-story ranch home in College Park, Ga., to be within walking distance of their son, Corbett Lunsford, and his family. Corbett, host of the Home Diagnosis Tv show and a home performance expert, pitched in to help them decommission the home’s 20-year-old gas furnace/coil combo and replace the system with a single electric, all-climate heat pump solution.

Corbett chose to install a Mitsubishi Electric system because he approved of the brand’s rigorous research and development processes, proving the heat pump solution’s ability to operate 24/7 to improve circulation, control moisture and reduce static pressure in the ducts of the older home. The family now enjoys reliable, year-round indoor comfort.

Benefits:

  • Quiet continuous circulation
  • Replaced 3 heat exchangers with a single heat exchanger
  • Enhanced equipment life
  • 24/7 operation
  • Improved humidity and indoor temperature comfort

"I've lived with Mitsubishi [Electric] heat pumps in two homes, and wanted that quiet control and durability for the rest of my family too."
