Mike Cappuccio, founder of N.E.T.R., Inc., talks with John Maher about installing air source heat pumps in new construction. He explains the installation process and outlines why builders are choosing this efficient heating and cooling option.
John Maher: Hi, I`m John Maher. I`m here today with Mike Cappuccio, founder of N.E.T.R., Inc., a heating and cooling company in Massachusetts with a focus on Mitsubishi ductless heating and cooling products. Today, we`re talking about ductless mini split systems in new construction. Welcome, Mike.
Mike Cappuccio: Good morning, John. How are you today?
SHOULD YOU INSTALL DUCTLESS MINI SPLITS INTO NEW HOMES?
John: Good, thanks. So, Mike, do you recommend installing a ductless mini split system when a new house is being constructed?
Mike: Absolutely, John. We`ve done many homes like that, and it`s not even really just from a ductless side. You can also add the ducted air handlers as well. So we have multiple options of what we can do in a home. But I think you`re going to see over the next, probably one year to 10 years, that you`re going to be seeing that this is going to become probably the only option that you`re going to have for your homes moving forward with new construction, because if the new Green Deal does get passed, which it`s looking like it possibly will, but I mean, everything is moving to electrification now today. I mean, look at your automobiles. Look at solar, look at wind, look at what we`re trying to do. We`re trying to move fossil fuels away from our homes now. And that includes- Hey, we`re building a new home now.
And I see new homes getting built all the time with ductless products and ducted products, and more, what I`m going to call variable flow refrigerant systems where you`re using air source heat pumps, I`m going t
