The FS Heat Pump also utilizes several patented technologies: Dual

DUAL BARRIER COATING: The patented Mitsubishi Electric Dual Barrier Coating
prevents dust and dirt from accumulating on the inner surface of the heat pump;
keeping your heat pump clean year-round.
The variable speed capacity of FS makes the temperature more
precise, scaling back as it gets closer to the regulated temperature. " It
will only give you exactly what you need to maintain that temperature, "
noted Sharman.
The unit also has an infrared sensor that tracks heat signatures to
detect when the room is occupied by a person to make it more efficient
by conserving energy while its unoccupied.
The majority of very cold days (without the windchill) throughout
most of Canada fall between -15°C and -20°C, depending on the
location, that ends up working out 20-30 days in a year. With the
additional range, the FS can maintain its efficiency as a primary heating
source in most Canadian climates. Larger systems can make it up to
-30°C.
Another benefit is in a condo or townhouse application where there
isn't much yard space, heat pumps have a small physical footprint.
Additionally, in the summer, a heat pump will remove moisture from the

hydrophobic dirt from getting into the system. This allows the key
internal heat pump components to remain clean. Nano Platinum Filters
break down bacteria, mould, and odours. The Deodorizing Filter
ensures odorous components are destroyed at the source. The
Electrostatic Anti-Allergy Enzyme Filter neutralizes viruses, bacteria,
and allergens, filling a space with fresh air.
Central and Multi-Zone Systems
Multi-zone heat pump systems, like Mitsubishi Electric's Zuba-Multi,
give more flexibility in temperature for specific rooms. Which Sharman
noted, means cost savings, " If I only heat the parts of the house in use -
I'm using at most, maybe three or four rooms - in my case that means
30-40% less usage. "
By using a multi-zone system, you can conserve more energy by
automating when a room/zone is heated or cooled and setting
different rooms/zones to different temperatures. Scaling the
temperature back by a few degrees while a particular space is
unoccupied increases efficiency and ultimately lowers the operating
costs.
The Zuba Central system, utilized in the below case study, is a central
heating system that presents an energy-efficient, cost-effective
alternative to older systems using electric heat and oil/propane. As the
case study notes, high-performance heat pump systems can save up to
50% on heating costs compared to oil furnaces (depending on region
and home performance level).
