Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US LLC, (METUS), a leading supplier of Ductless and Ducted Mini-split and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heat pump and air-conditioning systems, will introduce a new integration for its all-climate heat pumps with SPAN.IO, INC. (SPAN), maker of the leading smart electrical panel. The collaboration between these award-winning category leaders is anticipated to accelerate household electrification and energy efficiency.
The METUS-SPAN product integration, once available, is anticipated to help homeowners eliminate dependence on fossil-fuel-reliant heating and cooling systems and conventional electrical panels. In a METUS-conducted survey in 2023 of approximately 1000 U.S. homeowners, almost 83% of respondents stated that they are either ‘somewhat concerned,’ ‘very concerned’ or ‘extremely concerned’ about the impact of energy bills on their household budget. Mitsubishi Electric’s all-electric heating and cooling systems are designed to reduce energy use compared to conventional HVAC systems.
SPAN Panel is designed to intelligently distribute power across circuits where needed most. Because a Mitsubishi Electric heat pump operates at partial-load using inverter-compressor technology, the SPAN Panel will be able to send a command to Mitsubishi Electric’s heat pump through the kumo cloud app to reduce the capacity to divert the power load to other appliances.
