The Challenge

So, when the owners of a three bedroom, terraced home in Brookfield Park, Wicklow tasked Broomhall Estates with finding them a heating solution for cold months and also a cooling option for warm summer days and nights, Broomhall Estates looked to Mitsubishi Electric’s extensive product range.

The Requirements

Historically, achieving both heating and cooling required two separate outdoor units. However, the arrival of Mitsubishi Electric’s new PXZ unit provides an innovative solution, that combines heating and cooling demands into one highly efficient, compact outdoor unit. The PXZ unit is managing the space heating via the underfloor heating system downstairs and the radiators that are upstairs.

The Solution

After a property survey, Mitsubishi Electric's design team paired the PXZ unit with a 300-liter Mitsubishi Electric Packaged Cylinder to meet the large domestic hot water (DHW) demand. It also supports the three separate MSZ air conditioning units for cooling, with the ability to add a fourth. The homeowner requested the AC units to be wall mounted, due to their stylish and compact design. 

The Ecodan Multi Series PXZ ensures top tier performance across various functions. Upon finishing the installation, the Wicklow home was left with a remarkable cooling energy efficiency rating of A+++, heating efficiency rating of A++, and DHW production efficiency rating of A+.

In conclusion, along with providing fantastic energy efficiency ratings, we provided the owners of this Wicklow home with the heating and cooling solution that they desired!

In areas where homes experience solar gain through glass doors or windows, the PXZ unit adds an extra layer of comfort and value to the homeowner. It is the perfect addition to what would have been a regular installation as we were already supplying the indoor and outdoor units for heating. By adding the extra AC units, we were able to create an optimal, comfortable environment no matter the weather.
