Energy-Efficient Comfort for a Historic Neighborhood
Project Overview
GEN3 Electric & HVAC recently finished a three-zone Mitsubishi ductless mini-split installation in the Roxborough area of Philadelphia. This energy-efficient system keeps the home comfortable year-round with Hyper-Heating Inverter (H2i) technology, designed for reliable warmth even during harsh winters.
Before the installation, Eric, Cush, and Luis walked through the project with the homeowner. Together, they decided on the best locations for both indoor and outdoor units to achieve strong airflow, easy maintenance, and maximum performance.
Indoor Unit Placement
Each indoor air handler was carefully mounted to maximize comfort and airflow throughout the home:
- Family Room: One high-wall mini-split centered on the left wall. The line sets ran neatly through the basement to connect to the outdoor condenser.
- Rear Bedroom: One high-wall unit positioned for balanced air distribution.
- Guest Bedroom: One high-wall unit for efficient cooling and heating.
This setup allows each room to maintain its own temperature, helping the homeowner save energy and enjoy personalized comfort.
Outdoor Unit Placement
Eric and Cush mounted the outdoor Mitsubishi condenser on sturdy wall brackets along the rear of the home. Raising the unit off the ground protects it from flooding, snow, and debris while improving airflow and efficiency.
Installation Details
Electrical & Mechanical Work
The team installed the electrical portion of the project, ensuring safe, reliable connections from start to finish. The team completed:
- New copper refrigerant lines and communication wiring between the indoor and outdoor units.
- UV-resistant insulation and white PVC line hide to protect and organize exterior lines.
- A dedicated electrical circuit from the home’s main panel to the outdoor unit.
- A new whip, disconnect switch, and surge protector for safety and convenience.
- Gravity-drained condensate lines for all indoor units.
- A full cleanup of debris and packaging after installation.
Quality Assurance & Homeowner Review
After completion, Eric met with the homeowner to review the system. He explained operation steps, maintenance tips, and warranty coverage.
Together, the team tested:
- All electrical and refrigerant connections
- Proper voltage, pressure, and refrigerant charge
- Airflow and temperature balance in all zones
Every unit performed at peak efficiency before the crew wrapped up.

Step-by-Step Outdoor Mini-Split Installation Philadelphia
Throughout the process, Eric, Cush, and Luis showed precision and pride in their work:
Eric secured conduit and line hide along the stucco exterior with clean, even drilling.
Cush measured and trimmed each section for a tight, professional fit.
And last, they routed and insulated the refrigerant lines, then enclosed them in white PVC covers for long-term protection.
After mounting, the team added a visible disconnect switch and surge protector beside the condenser. The final setup not only performs efficiently but also looks clean and polished, a true reflection of GEN3 quality.
This attention to detail ensures every GEN3 ductless installation performs efficiently and looks as good as it functions.
