I'm hoping to break ground on a new home here in Kzoo MI within the next 8 weeks. It's a 1600' ranch - open floor. The plan is to use a Harmon P43 for our basic heating with Mitsubishi heat pumps for A/C and backup heating. However, when submitted to the heating and cooling guy, I got this back.
"I don’t think any bank is going to offer this customer financing without heat to every room which these mini splits won’t do, also ventilation air has to come in the house and I don’t know how this is going to be accomplished other than an HRV"
Now I know that Mitsubishi has ducted systems, so if I absolutely had to, I could run ducts to every room. Also, if a heat pump is not 'burning air' then do I really need an HRV? It's not that big of an expense, so I'm OK with putting one in if necessary. But I'm getting the feeling that this guy just doesn't like heat pumps.
ANY input would be appreciated : )
