Upgrading your home’s heating and cooling system is an excellent way to stay comfortable year-round. However, choosing the right unit for your needs can be tough. After all, there are traditional ducted systems, ductless mini-split systems, and portable window units that allow you to cool every room in your home. Though they each have their benefits, none offer the energy efficiency and cooling power of the Mitsubishi Electric® floor- and wall-mounted AC units. Here’s a brief overview of the two mounting systems and when each unit is best for your space.

Floor-Mounted Air Conditioning Systems

Floor-mounted systems are designed with convenience in mind. They rest on the floor of the room and can be installed quickly without ductwork or significant site preparation. Since they’re on the floor, you can access the filters with ease, making them ideal for individuals with upper respiratory conditions or homeowners looking to keep their indoor air quality as clean as possible. Even better, you’ll notice the cooling effect far more quickly than other mounting systems, since the fan blows cool air directly at your level. However, these units require a certain amount of free space to adequately circulate air.

Wall-Mounted AC Units

Wall-Mounted ACWall-mounted systems are quick to install and take up minimal space. Like floor-mounted units, these systems are ductless, allowing you to get the most out of your air conditioner without drawing excess energy to send cool air throughout your home. Since they do not take up floor space, these units are perfect for homeowners who want to maximize the useable space in a room. However, the unit does take longer to produce a noticeable cooling effect compared to floor-mounted units, as the fan is located closer to the ceiling rather than the main living area. Wall-mounted AC units do not require any rearranging of furniture, as air can circulate throughout the space with ease.
