Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Gold Coast

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Gold Coast Air Conditioning has been supplying quality air conditioning units to the Gold Coast for almost 20 years. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have delivered engineering excellence for over 130 years across three main industries: power systems, industry & infrastructure and aircraft, defense & space.

They turned their expertise to air conditioning in 1953 in Japan and later introduced their first units to Australia and the Gold Coast in 1975.  Using a local distributor they established their first company in 1999. Through their successful operations in Australia, they steadily grew as a division of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and eventually spanned off as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Air-Conditioners Australia in 2009.

The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) focus is on developing world-class, highly efficient and energy saving air conditioning systems that offer comfort and reassurance to their customers. The expansion of MHI has allowed the company to provide a more diverse range of products to the Australian and New Zealand markets, and provide comprehensive support to their partners and home owners through their presence in all major and regional areas.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Reviews

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has won the Canstar Blue’s best air conditioning unit for the 4th year in a row.  It has earned a consistent five stars for all 5 categories and a 4 star for quietness.These categories include:

  1. Performance & reliability – the air conditioner produces consistent and effective cooling, has not broken and its performance hasn’t reduced considering the frequency of use
  2. Ease of use – the air conditioner produces consistent and effective cooling, has not broken and its performance hasn’t reduced considering the frequency of use.
  3. Functionality & features – the settings and functions on the air conditioner are easy to locate and instructions are easy to follow.
  4. Value for money – the cost is low for the quality and performance of the air conditioner unit.
  5. Quietness – the air conditioner operates at a volume that isn’t disturbing.
  6. Overall satisfaction – measures consumer satisfaction with an air conditioner brand as an individual score NOT a combined total of all criteria.

These reviews are gathered by feedback left by customers that have purchased and installed an air conditioning unit in the last three years.They also rate highly on the CHOICE website.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric Air conditioning units.

Most people see the 3 red diamonds in a triangle shape and associate this with the Mitsubishi brand. The word Mitsubishi is actually Japanese for ‘three diamonds’

What most people do not know are that these are in fact two competing brands with the same logo.

One is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the other is Mitsubishi Electric.

Furthermore, both companies produce the same types of air conditioning units.

These include high wall split systems, multihead units, ducted units, floor/ceiling consoles and cassette units.

 

The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries high wall split systems come in two models.

The 2, 2.5, 3.5 and 5Kw unit sizes fall under the Avanti and Avanti Plus models.

The Avanti Plus also has a 6Kw model.

The bigger units fall under the Bronte models and come in 6.3, 7.1, 8 and 9.5Kw sizes.

All of these units are inverter models. This is the latest technology that allows the compressor to run as fast or as slow as needed depending on the heat load of the room. Think of it as a variable speed compressor rather than the older type of compressor that was either running at 100% or 0% when turned off.

They are also reverse cycle. This allows the unit to cool and heat. Perfect for our climate on the Gold Coast.

At Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Gold Coast, Coastal Coastal Commercial and Residential Air Conditioning we sell both Avanti and Bronte air conditioning units.

 

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Features

 

THE LATEST R32 REFRIGERANT

All models use the latest R32 refrigerant. This lowers the previous R410 refrigerants global warming potential by almost 70%. It also uses less electricity to achieve the desired temperature compared to previous refrigerants.

GUARANTEED OPERATION RANGE These units have a guaranteed operation range from minus 15 degrees all the way up to 46 degrees. Ensuring they will work in almost all of Australia’s climates and perfect for our climate on the Gold Coast.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Operating Temperatures

 

Wi-Fi CONTROL

An optional adaptor can be fitted to these units and connected to your home or office Wi-Fi. This allows these units to be controlled remotely with your phone, tablet or browser.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Wi-Fi

 

LOUVERS

A press of the ‘3D’ button allows the louvers on the indoor unit to move automatically to the left and right while moving up and down. This allows even air flow to be distributed around the room to be conditioned.

You can also set the louvers in any vertical or horizontal position and the unit will retain these settings when it is next turned on. How smart is that?

An AUTO louver setting is also provided that will allow the unit to select the correct position based on the MODE. This makes the louvers point down during the HEATING cycle and UP during the COOLING and DRY cycles. We all remember Mrs Gillespie in year 3 telling us that ‘heat rises’. The unit will point the hot air down during the HEAT mode so it creates a swirling motion effect allowing the fan to circulate and air as effectively as possible. While on the COOL mode is will force the unit out at a high level allow the cold air to hit the warm air in the ceiling and create convection current to cool the room faster.

CLEAN AIR TECHNOLOGY

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries units all come installed with special enzyme filters which allow the unit to remove airborne allergens such as pollen, hair and dust.

A photo-catalytic filter is also fitted that allows the removal of odour causing bacteria by capturing and neutralising these particles.

A standard filter is also fitted to allow airborne particles to be caught before they enter the coil.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Clean Air Technology

SELF CLEANING MODE

Most air conditioning units will eventually start to smell. Most will have a foul or stale odour and visible mould can be seen inside where the fan blows the air out. This is a normal side effect of trying to cool a room during with our humid weather.

The self cleaning mode allows the unit to run the fan only at a very low speed after the unit is turned off to dry out in moisture and prolong the build-up of mould.

Although this feature does help in keeping mould away it will eventually need to be prorly stripped and cleaned.

We offer a premium strip and clean service clean which will remove this mould and odour.

HIGH POWER OPERATION

This button can be pressed to allow the unit to run at a higher fan speed for 15 minutes. This is best used when the unit is first turned on to cool/heat the room as fast as possible.

SILENT OPERATION

This button can be used to allow the unit to operate at a reduced noise level. As these units are so quiet we doubt you would actually use.

TIMERS

As with all air conditioning units these  units have a weekly timer that can be set to operate with up to four daily timers and up to 28 timers per week.

An on/off timer can also be used to turn the unit on or off at selected times with a 24 hour period.

The unit will switch on slightly before the set time to assure the room will be at the set temperature at the set time.

The sleep timer can be set to turn the unit off in 30 minute intervals up to a maximum of 4 hours.

LED ADJUSTMENT

The LED light on the indoor unit can be adjusted to prevent light saturation into rooms you would prefer to keep dark.

CHILD LOCK

A useful button to allow the remote control to be locked from little hands.

ENERGY SAVING

These Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have a PC board with fuzzy logic technology.  No, this is not something you would ask a robotic barber for. This is a pre-determined set of instructions that allows the  unit to adjust the compressor determined on the  mode, temperature and fan speed.

A ‘Eco Mode’ can also be selected that allows the unit to run at a reduced capacity. This reduces the power consumption while maintaining the room at the set temperature.

OTHER USEFUL FEATURES FOR MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES GOLD COAST UNITS

Microcomputer-Operated Defrosting

This allows the unit to do some fancy stuff during really cold temperatures. I wont go into detail, but take my word for it – its pretty fancy.

Self-Diagnostic Function

In the unlikely event your air conditioning unit were to break down, the technician can see what is wrong with the unit by entering top secret codes and moving ones arms and legs in a set of seemingly random moves.

Auto Restart Function

Starts the unit in the last operation mode if there were a loss of power.

Back Up Switch

If the remote control stops working well good news. There’s a backup switch.

The button for this can be found under the front cover to the right of the filters. This button will turn the unit on and off.

The settings cannot be changed with this button but hopefully this emergency button can get you through until you purchase a new remote or find the remote that your 2 year old has hidden.

Avanti PLUS

The Avanti PLUS models share the same features as the Avanti models however with a key difference.

The Avanti PLUS Series has a record breaking 7 star energy star rating. This is  for both heating and cooling but only for the smaller 2 Kw models. It has 6 stars for the more common 2.5Kw models which you would find in your standard bedroom. They also have about an extra star rating for their 3.5 and 5Kw units.

It does this by utilising energy saving motion sensors and a special economy operation mode. It uses these sensors to scan the room for movement and activity and adjusts the unit to suit.

If no activity is detected the unit will go into standby mode until activity is sensed again. If there is no activity sensed in a 12 hour period the unit will automatically turn off.

All units share the same remote and have slightly different indoor and outdoor unit sizes. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

What size Air Conditioner best suits me?

By Air Conditioning News

Helping Gold Coasters choose the correct Air Conditioning Unit suitable to their individual needs!

2.5Kw for a bedroom, 5Kw for a garage sized room and a 7Kw for a big lounge. Sounds simple enough and in some cases that might work however there are other factors to consider when trying to find the correct air conditioner unit size for a room.

The size and shape of the room play the major part, however room insulation and the amount of sunlight also play an important role. The orientation of the room also makes a huge difference.

Size of the Room

Installing an Air Conditioning Unit that is too big for a room seems like a good idea as it will cool the room down quicker, however, there may be side effects. If the unit is too over sized, it will cool the room to fast not allowing the moisture to be removed from the room. The room will feel cool however the room will feel uncomfortable due to the humidity being too high.

Comfortable Air Conditioning in your Gold Coast living room

Comfortable Air Conditioning in your Gold Coast living room

Buying an Air Conditioning Unit that is too big will also cost you more to buy the unit. The installation price may be higher also. The unit may also not have as good an energy star rating costing more to run.

Putting in an air conditioning unit that is to small has the obvious disadvantage of working too hard to achieve the desired temperature. A unit that works to hard will have a lot more wear and tear. Running costs will be higher and you may void the warranty due to it being undersized and being overworked.

A correctly sized air conditioning unit will cool the room in a reasonable enough time to remove the humidity. Once the room is at the correct temperature the compressor will wind down allowing it to maintain the room temperature and allowing for maximum energy savings. This is where the inverter compressor really shines – as its energy saving are best at this reduced load.

TYPE OF ROOM: What is the room being used for? Bedrooms have a smaller heat load as they are typically used only at night. Rooms with a number of heat sources (people or computers) may need to be factored into the calculation.

ORIENTATION OF ROOM: Rooms that face east usually receive the morning sun and west facing rooms receive more sun in the afternoons. North facing rooms receive sun most of the day. South facing rooms usually need less cooling as they do not receive any direct sun.

Air Conditioner Size room orientation

GLASS WINDOWS: Glass windows allow a lot of heat transfer from outside.  Ideally double glazing will be optimal as it will drastically reduce this heat transfer. However this is not usually viable due to the cost. This is where internal and external shading becomes necessary.

SHADING: External shading such as blinds, awnings and shadows can drastically reduce the amount of heat build-up in a room. Internal shading such as curtains and blinds also make a difference. The more direct sun you can keep from entering your house the cheaper it will be to keep it cool or warm.

INSULATION: Rather than relying on a thin layer of plasterboard between the hot roof space air and the inside of your house, having a layer of ceiling insulation will make a huge difference. There can be a 10 degree difference between the interior of a house with and without ceiling insulation. Insulated walls can also make a huge difference. Apartment usually have concrete floors and ceiling and this is also a good insulator.

SEALING: Large open rooms will not hold the heat as well as a bedroom with a closed door. Most open plan living areas open up to hallways and other rooms without doors. Gaps under doors and between rooms can all add up to heat transferring between rooms.

 

 

 

THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT

INDOOR POSITIONING: Although not so critical in bedrooms as they are usually small square shaped rooms the positioning of the air conditioning unit in the larger rooms can help a lot. The most central location can help even air flow which helps with an even temperature in the room.

OUTDOOR POSITIONING: Most outdoors positions are suitable for residential air conditioning units. That is because they are usually placed against a wall. If you are putting the outdoor unit on a roof facing it blowing north is usually best. This is because you do not want any direct sun blowing on the back of the coil. The coils transfer heat and if the sun is shining on these coils it can add an extra load on the system having to get rid of this heat.

EFFICIENCY:  Almost all air conditioning units are inverter models these days. These have a compressor which regulates its speed as to how much heating or cooling it needs to do. These variable speed compressors have a huge energy savings compared to the older either ‘on or off’ models.

Energy ratings are usually similar throughout the size ranges. With the smaller 2.5Kw units usually having about 5 stars for cooling and heating. By the time you get up to 7kw models the star ratings drop to about 2.5 stars. And usually about 2 for the 8 and 9Kw models.

Weather its a cheaper Kelvinator or more expensive Daikin unit they usually have similar energy ratings.

Calculating the size of your room for your Brand New Air Con Unit

The air conditioner unit size needs to be calculated for the room.

We need to find the area of the room. This is calculated by length x width.

Air Conditioner Size Length x width

Ceilings are usually about 2.4 meters high. Anything higher than this should be added to the calculation. Cathedral ceiling usually have more heat transfer due to having no ceiling space and being closer to the roof tiles or tin above.

After finding the area of the room we need to multiply this by the amount of watts per square meter. The number of watts depends on the room.

A bedroom can be calculated at about 0.13 Kw to cool 1 x square meter – this has a lower value as most bedrooms are only used at night times when there is not a large heat load on the building.

Living areas can be calculated at about 0.15 Kw to cool 1 x square meter.

The Kw per square meter may be more depending on room insulation, sunlight and room orientation. The height of the ceiling can also affect the calculation.

Step by step method:

1: Measure the width of the room in meters the air conditioner will be in.

2: Measure the length of the room in meters the air conditioner will be in.

3: Multiply the length and the width of the room to find the area of the room.

4: Multiply the area of the room by the Kw per square meter 0.13 – 0.15Kw

Example:  You have garage that you want to air condition.

1: Measure the width of the room -The garage is 6 metres wide.

2: Measure the length of the room -The garage is 6 metres long.

3: Multiply the length and the width of the room.

The garage is 6 metres long and 6 metres wide.

6 x 6 = 36

The area that you need to cool would be 36 metres squared.

4: Multiply the area of the room by the Kw per square meter.

If you multiply 36 by 0.15 you will get 5.4.

You would need an air conditioner size unit with a cooling capacity of about 5.4kW.

You may be able to use a 5Kw unit if the room is fairly insulated and has no direct sun.

If you have a large panel garage door that receives the direct sun you would be better off choosing a air conditioner size unit of about 6Kw.

TYPICAL UNIT SIZES

Room size Capacity
Small Up to 20m2            Bedroom, study, small kitchen 2–2.5kW
Medium 20–40 m       Bedroom with ensuite, small lounge 2.5–5kW
Large 40–60 s m2       Large bedroom, mid-sized lounge, large kitchen 5–8kW
Extra Large 60–80 m2 Open-plan areas, large lounges 7–9kW

Air Conditioning Running Costs

Savings On Air Conditioning Running Costs

By News

Air conditioning running costs are one of the biggest user of electricity in the household.

See our hints and tips for saving money when running your air conditioning unit.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS – Set the wall controller or remote control to 24 degrees for cooling and 22 degrees for heating. This is a good compromise between your power bill and your comfort. Every degree difference costs an additional 10% running costs. Setting the temperature as low as possible will not cool the area faster.

USE THE AIR CONDITIONING UNITS TIMERS – Most air conditioning units have timers. Use these to turn on before you get home or need to go to bed or turn off after a certain amount of time. Newer models have smartphone apps that allow you to turn operate the air conditioning unit from your phone or computer. Do not leave your air conditioning unit on all day if you are not home. It costs far less to cool a room than have your air conditioning unit running all day to come home to a cool room.

USE CEILING FANS – Ceiling fans are a lot cheaper to run than air conditioning.  Running ceiling fans with air conditioning units can help cool/heat the room faster as it helps to distribute the cool/warm air. Make sure your ceiling fan is running in the correct direction. An arrow on the fan should tell you which way for summer and winter.

KEEP DOORS AND ROOMS SHUT – Shut doors for rooms that are unoccupied. Turn off zones for ducted air conditioning for rooms that are unoccupied. Prevent conditioned air from escaping by sealing up holes and gaps to prevent draughts.

KEEP THE SUN OUT -Keeping the sun off windows is a big energy saver during summer. Shade from trees and shade cloths can greatly save on electricity costs. Keeping the sun out with drapes, blinds and curtains also have the same effect. Most outdoor air conditioning units are against the wall of the house – this prevents the sun shining onto the back of the coils. If for some reason you have the sun on your air conditioning unit then you could try and shade the unit.

MAINTENANCE – Keep your air conditioning unit well maintained. Clean filters and the correct amount of refrigerant can increase your air conditioning unit’s efficiency. Keep the outdoor unit free from grass, leaves and dirt. Do not lean anything against the outdoor unit that can help prevent airflow. Give the outdoor coil a good hose down at least once a year. Ducted air conditioning unit should be checked for leaks in the ceiling space. We offer a premium clean service where we remove dirt, mould and other foreign matter from your wall mounted air conditioning unit.

CORRECT SIZED UNITS – Make sure your air conditioning unit is the correct size for the room. Too small and it will run longer and harder than it is designed for and may void the warrenty. Too big and not only will it cost you more to buy it will also cycle on and off to often.

INSULATE THE CEILING – Insulate your ceiling. This can save up to 20% on air conditioning running costs.
