All season ACs for enhanced comfort throughout the year

The topographical factors, latitude and longitude of the region also play an important role for particular seasons.

In recent years, air conditioners have started to play a significant role in providing ease and comfort. People can concentrate better at work, get a better night’s sleep, and enjoy a variety of other advantages when they have a source of good air conditioning. Though air conditioners are known to have ample advantages, they come with some challenges like mass consumption of electricity, and they are not considered to be environment friendly. Mitsubishi Electric India takes a proactive approach to solve these challenges by providing air conditioning systems that are energy efficient, environment friendly and give comfort throughout the year. 

When we talk about the summer season, air conditioners are considered to be a need of the hour but the question that arises is – do we really need air conditioning in the winter season? India experiences a mix of a variety of seasons throughout the year, winter, summer, rainy, and spring season. In India, the intensity of these four seasons varies from region to region. The topographical factors, latitude and longitude of the region also play an important role for particular seasons. It automatically sends chills down the spine to think of running an AC in the winter season and makes one shiver, while it is not completely true and can be attributed to the lack of information about the ACs. 

Why you should use air conditioning in the winter season! 

Running Air Conditioners in all seasons especially during the winter is completely normal and helps to keep the house at a comfortable temperature. Here we are talking about Air Conditioners with heat pumps. Few major reasons why you should use air conditioners in the winter season are listed below: 

• Warmth in the winter: Air Conditioners can generate heat and keep your home warm even on the coldest winter days and nights. 
• Dealing with humidity: During the winter, a lot of humidity collects on windows and doors; running the Air Conditioner dehumidifies the air inside the house, keeping the windows and doors clear. 
• Space saving: With an All-Season AC, you will have extra space that would otherwise be taken up by heating equipment, allowing you to use that particular space more efficiently. 
• Children’s safety: Since the Air Conditioner is usually installed at a height that is out of reach of children, there is no need to be concerned. However, when it comes to oil heaters and other types of heating equipment, one needs to be careful of children touching them. 

Mitsubishi Electric India offers the “MSZHP” series of Energy Efficient Inverter Heat Pump Air Conditioner, which is best suitable for all weather conditions, that is, the hottest summer days and the coldest winter nights. These Air Conditioners, unlike the normal AC units, use electrically operated Reverse valves/4 way valves to reverse the direction of refrigerant flow. When the thermostat is set to heat, it makes the inside evaporator of the ACs hot while keeping the outside condenser cold instead of hot. Another benefit of the MSZ-HP AC is that it will free up floor space that would otherwise be occupied by a heating system, giving you more options to use that free space. 

Recently, the company has come up with a range of efficient Heat Pump products suitable as per the requirement of the SemiCommercial and Commercial sites which are mentioned below: 

• PLA-RP series, Cassette type AC with Heat pump 
• SEZ-KD/PEAD-RP series, Concealed type AC with Heat pump 
• PUHY /PUMY-SP, City Multi- VRF with Heat Pump 

When the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger becomes too high, High Pressure Protection comes into play, and it continues until the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger falls; Defrosting function starts when the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger drops too low and this mode continues until the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger rises or the fixed time passes; in Auto Changeover mode, the unit operation automatically switches between Cool and Heat operation, then comes in play the Auto Vane Mode where microprocessor automatically determines the vane angle in order to make optimum room temperature distribution. 

As some ACs are limited by the cold, research on the type of heat pump that is right for you is needed. Installing the incorrect one could result in higher utility bills. Many airflow patterns ensure optimum temperature distribution and comfort, and pushchairs into larger living spaces, and an air purifier filter helps in the removal of contaminants and dust particles from the room. Mitsubishi Electric India’s range of Air Conditioners are ideal for Indian weather conditions because they can operate at varying temperature levels as per the requirement. Mitsubishi Electric India’s AC series consumes minimum energy and is environment friendly, all thanks to the advanced inverter control. These air conditioners use R410A, a chlorine-free, non inflammable, and energy-efficient refrigerant. 

Precautions of running an AC in winter 

Seeking professional assistance at least once a year for routine maintenance and to keep the system running smoothly is always recommended. However, in the winter season, the standard air conditioner’s temperature should be set around 18 to 22 degrees under Heat Mode for heating in winter. This is to ensure maximum energy efficiency from your unit.
