Use Heat Pump App to Save Dollars!
You can monitor and display the actual power usage for each hour. This enables you to understand the optimal temperature setting to capture and transfer outdoor heat to your room at the lowest cost.
Power Saving FAQs selected from Mitsubishi website
Can a Heat Pump be programmed to operate automatically?
Yes. Most heat pumps will have a 24 hour timer which allows you to program your heat pumps operation for the day. Mitsubishi Electric offers a 7 Day Controller which allows up to four settings per day. This means that you can plan your heat pump’s operation for an entire week! Ensuring you stay comfortable in your home without wasting both time and money.
Furthermore, our optional Wi-Fi heat Pump Control offers even more customised control and monitoring, giving you the freedom to manage your heat pump through your smart phone, tablet or online account, no matter where you are.
If I turn my Heat Pump up to 28°C will it heat the room faster?
A heat pump should not be operated like a radiant heater. Turning your heat pump up to 28°C will not make the room warm up any faster. In fact, it will use more energy as the heat pump attempts to absorb energy to achieve this unrealistic temperature.
By setting the temperature to what is actually required, say 18-22°C in heating mode (a comfortable temperature during winter), the heat pump will respond in the most efficient way and will reach this quickly and continue to maintain it – without further adjustment. Using a timer to activate this temperature half an hour before you arrive home will mean you return to warm, cosy comfort.
What is defrost mode?
All heat pumps will perform a defrost cycle eventually when operating in cold winter conditions. The defrost mode removes ice build up from the outdoor unit. In defrost mode the heat pump stops heating for short periods. Some heat pump brands spend longer in defrost than others. This is part of what makes Mitsubishi Electric Heat Pumps + HyperCore® so efficient, more heating and less defrost cycles. With a Mitsubishi Electric heat pump you get more heat and less defrost cycles, which means less overall power usage and higher, real energy efficiency.
What is Rapid Heat Technology?
Rapid Heating.
The Mitsubishi Electric RapidHeat Floor Console and RapidHeat HyperCore® Series ensures the perfect room temperature is reached faster with new Rapid Heating Technology.
Advanced Sensors coupled with Intuitive Control Logic mean optimal running temperatures are reached in the shortest amount of time possible with maximum energy efficiency. Automatically activated at start up in low temperature conditions and when two way air flow is selected, warm air is blown in a downward direction first before the air is returned back into the indoor unit where it is reheated a second time before it is released again. As a result a room can now heat up to twice as fast in comparison to our previous model meaning our floor consoles are more energy efficient than ever.
