Planning a Mitsubishi ducted system
A Mitsubishi Electric ducted system starts with picking the right indoor unit for the house. Then you decide what goes with it.
- Ducted on its own. One controller sets the temperature for the whole house.
- Ducted with zoning. Each part of the house gets its own temperature.
- Ducted with ventilation. A heat recovery ventilation system brings in filtered fresh air alongside the heating.
Ducted suits new builds and existing homes. In an existing home, the ceiling hatch and the height in the roof space decide which unit will go in, so we check both before we quote.
Mitsubishi Electric ducted in Christchurch houses
How zoning, ventilation and the size of the unit fit in depends on your house.
- Small ceiling hatches. Russley brick homes from the 1960s to the 1980s have a bedroom wing down a hall, and ducted suits them if the ceiling space allows. Where the hatch is small, we check the unit will get through it before we pick a model. Zoning can make a formal lounge you rarely use its own zone that you close off.
- North-facing glass on the hill. On Mount Pleasant, the sun can warm a north living area by lunchtime while the rooms behind it stay cool. Zoning lets you turn that zone down. The system still runs in one mode, so it can’t cool the sunny room while heating the rest, and we plan the zones with that in mind.
- Living upstairs, bedrooms below. Many two storey and split level homes in Kennedys Bush have the living areas upstairs for the view. Heat rises, so we set each level up as its own zone with its own temperature.
- New Selwyn homes. In Rolleston, the Mitsubishi Electric ducted range suits new houses as well as the wall units do. Building? Talk to us before the ceiling goes on, so the ducts and any ventilation are planned together.

Zoning a Mitsubishi Electric ducted system
A standard ducted system runs off one thermostat. It sends air to every room at once. Zoning gives you room by room control instead. Each zone gets its own temperature, and the airflow to each zone is adjusted to suit.
There is one limit. A zoned system can’t heat some rooms and cool others at the same time. The whole system runs in one mode.
Do you use the living areas by day and the bedrooms at night? Then zoning heats the rooms you’re in and leaves the rest.
Heat recovery ventilation with ducted heating
A heat recovery ventilation system pulls stale, damp air out of the house. It takes the heat from that air and uses it to warm the filtered fresh air coming in. Is damp or stuffy air part of why you’re looking at ducting? Bring it up when we quote. We’ll talk through whether a combined system fits your plans.
Mitsubishi Electric or Daikin?
We fit both, plus Fujitsu, Toshiba and Rinnai. So it comes down to which suits your house. Want to see the alternatives? We’ll put the Mitsubishi Electric option for your house next to a Daikin ducted system. For how ducted compares with wall units in general, read ducted vs split heat pumps.
Looking after a Mitsubishi Electric ducted system
Clean the return air filter often. Get a service once a year to keep the indoor coil, drain and outdoor unit in good shape. Both are part of our Mitsubishi heat pump service. So are repairs.
What we check before fitting a Mitsubishi ducted system
1
Ceiling access and height
Whether the indoor unit will get through your ceiling hatch and fit in the roof space.
2
Duct routes
Clear paths from the indoor unit to every vent, with no squashed or tightly bent ducts.
3
Return air
A central spot for the grille, where air can flow back from the rooms, with a filter you can reach.
4
Zones
Which rooms belong together, based on when you use them.
5
Outdoor unit spot
Good airflow, a short pipe run, and away from the neighbour's bedrooms.
6
Electrical supply
Whether the switchboard and circuit suit the unit. A licensed electrical worker makes the connection.

Mitsubishi Electric ducted heat pump questions
Can I control a Mitsubishi Electric ducted system room by room?
Yes, with zoning. Each zone gets its own temperature, so you heat only the rooms you're using. The whole system still runs in one mode, so it can't heat some rooms and cool others at the same time.
Can a Mitsubishi Electric ducted unit fit into an existing house?
Often, yes. It comes down to the ceiling hatch, the height in the roof space and the duct routes. We check the access and ceiling height before we pick a model.
Can ducted heating and ventilation work together?
Yes. A heat recovery ventilation system can be planned alongside a ducted heat pump. It's easiest to plan both at the same time, before the ceiling goes on if you're building.
Do you service Mitsubishi ducted heat pumps?
Yes. We service and repair Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps of any age, ducted systems included.
