Mitsubishi Electric’s Australian range is easiest to read by the room each series was built for. The MSZ-AP Mini is a 2.0 kW unit only 250 mm high – the one for a study, a nursery or a bedroom whose window head leaves no room for a full-height unit. The MSZ-AP series is the mid-range workhorse in 2.5, 3.5, 4.2, 5.0, 6.0, 7.1 and 7.8 kW, with Mitsubishi Electric’s Dual Barrier Coating inside and a Night Mode that dims the lights, silences the beeps and drops the outdoor unit’s noise by up to 3 dB.
The MSZ-EF is the slim-line one, 2.5 to 5.0 kW in three colour finishes, rated by Mitsubishi Electric at 21 dB in quiet mode – a fit for a period front room where the unit will be seen. The MSZ-LN is the premium filtration model, 2.5 to 6.0 kW, with the Plasma Quad Plus filter, a 3D i-See sensor that reads where people are in the room, and built-in Wi-Fi. The MSZ-GS covers 2.5 to 7.8 kW as the simpler unit with a quick-clean design and a blue fin anti-corrosion coil, and the MSZ-AS90 is the 9.0 kW single wall unit for a large open-plan living area. Cooling-only versions exist in the MSY-GW and MSY-GY90.
All run on R32 and, apart from the cooling-only models, all are reverse cycle. We confirm the exact model codes with the supplier on the day the office quotes, and our sizing guide explains how the kilowatts are matched to the room.
