Every year, The NEWS introduces the latest heating equipment that is available for the upcoming winter season. The intent is to help contractors prepare for this busy period by doing the research that will help them to distinguish between brands.
Like last year, this year’s Heating Showcase is split into two parts — residential and commercial. The residential/light commercial information is published in this issue, and the commercial products will be featured in the Oct. 1 issue. Included in the coverage is feature-specific information about each individual product that was submitted by the manufacturers.
The showcase features the product grid, starting on page 8, which includes technical facts, such as unit tonnage, refrigerant type, efficiency rating, and cooling capacity. The accompanying photo feature provides more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit and also includes technical support information from the manufacturer. The manufacturers provided all of the data included in both the product grid and the photo feature. Therefore, any questions should be directed to them via the contact information provided.

IAQ equipment supported: Supports energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and humidifiers/dehumidifiers. The high-static capabilities provide the ability to utilize highly efficient filtration replacing the standard filter.
Thermostat compatibility: Compatible with most thermostats.
Replacement parts compatibility: Some shared parts and some unique parts.
Additional features: Ideal for replacing a furnace, the PVA can be fully disassembled and reassembled to fit through small spaces, such as attic doors and crawl spaces, making installation easier for the contractor. Additionally, the PVA’s high static capabilities (field adjustable) and ability to be installed in horizontal, vertical, and downflow configurations allow for existing ductwork to be utilized.
Warranty information: In residential applications, when installed and registered by a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Contractor, 12-year parts limited warranty.
Special installation requirements: Designed to be paired with a high-performance inverter-driven heat pump outdoor unit.
