The problems a Mitsubishi Electric is usually bought to solve

Tick two or more and it is time to book — every one of these gets worse, never better, on its own.

A narrow side setback where the outdoor unit would sit two metres from the neighbour’s bedroom window
A bedroom wall with a window head so high there is no room for a standard unit above it
A light sleeper who can hear the old unit cycling at night
A townhouse or apartment where the owners corporation wants to know the outdoor unit’s noise figure before it says yes
A unit near the kitchen that seems to get greasy and grimy every summer
A renovated kitchen and dining space of 50 square metres or more that needs one big unit rather than two
You want to run it from your phone, but the last one needed a gadget nobody ever set up
A study or nursery so small that an ordinary 2.5 kW unit would short-cycle

The Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted range, room by room

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.

Noise, neighbours and where the outdoor unit goes

Melbourne’s newer subdivisions and its older subdivided blocks share a problem: the side setback is a metre wide and the neighbour’s bedroom is on the other side of the fence. Victoria’s residential noise rules cover air conditioners, and a condenser fixed to that side wall is the most common cause of a neighbour complaint we hear about. It is also the reason Mitsubishi Electric is asked for by name: the MSZ-AP25 is rated as low as 18 dB(A) indoors on heating in quiet mode, and Night Mode cuts the outdoor unit by up to 3 dB when it matters.

Quiet equipment is half the answer; placement is the other half. Before we drill anything we walk the outside of the house with you and pick the spot: a rear wall or a slab in the back yard where the fan does not face a neighbour’s window, a bracket high enough to clear garden beds, and enough clearance on the inlet side that the unit does not recirculate its own hot air. A longer pipe run on a rear wall is often the better job than a short back-to-back run on the side boundary, and we will tell you when it is.

For townhouses and apartments the owners corporation usually wants the model, the sound rating and the mounting method before approving the work. We give you all three in writing with the quote. Our apartments and strata page covers balcony placement and core drilling in more detail.

Dual Barrier Coating and the cleaning question

Mitsubishi Electric fits the MSZ-AP series with what it calls Dual Barrier Coating, a treatment on the fan and internal surfaces that the maker says reduces the build-up of dust and greasy dirt. For a unit in an open-plan room that shares its air with the kitchen, that is genuinely useful – grease is what turns a light dust layer into a black film on the barrel fan. The MSZ-GS takes a different route with a quick-clean design, and the MSZ-LN adds the Plasma Quad Plus filter for households that care about what is in the air as much as how cold it is.

None of that removes the need to clean. We install these units and we also strip and wash them, so we will say plainly what the coating does not do: it does not stop the coil fouling, it does not clear a blocked condensate drain, and it does not clean the filters. Before we leave we show you where the filters clip out and how often to rinse them. A few summers on, if the unit has lost its punch or smells musty on start-up, our split system cleaning crews bring it back, and our Mitsubishi Electric service guide lists the common error codes and faults first.

Wi-Fi, winter heating and what to ask before you order

Wi-Fi. The MSZ-LN has Wi-Fi built in. The MSZ-AP is Wi-Fi capable, but Mitsubishi Electric’s own MSZ-AP page says app control requires the installation of an additional MAC-568IF-E Wi-Fi controller for each indoor unit – the piece people are sold and never fit. If you want to switch the bedroom on from the car, tell us and we supply the adapter, fit it and pair the app before we leave.

Heating. Every reverse cycle model in the range heats as well as cools; on the MSZ-AP the rated heating capacities run from 3.2 kW to 9.0 kW across the sizes. That comfortably replaces a gas wall heater in a Melbourne lounge, and if the gas heater is decommissioned the job may attract a Victorian Energy Upgrades discount, which we arrange through our accredited installation partners. The gas line is capped by a licensed gasfitter. Our VEU page explains the discount.

The questions worth asking. Is the run back-to-back or does the pipe need to travel, because the quote changes when it does. Is there a spare way on the switchboard for the dedicated circuit a licensed electrician must run. Is the wall brick veneer, double brick or weatherboard, because each is drilled and sealed differently. We ask all of these on the phone so that the price the office confirms is the price you pay.

Back to backLong runIndoor unitinside the wallOutdoor unitdirectly behindSHORT STRAIGHT RUNLeast pipe, least labour, tidiest finishIndoor unitfar sidepipe runs thelength of the roofLONG RUN ACROSS THE HOUSEMore pipe, more labour, more to box in
Back to back means the indoor unit sits on the inside of an external wall and the outdoor unit sits directly behind it, so the pipes go straight through the wall. A long run to the far side of the house needs more pipe, more labour and more covering to hide, which is why the quote asks where each unit will go.

What you actually get

What a Mitsubishi Electric install from us includes

Each item is part of the job. None of them is an add-on.

Included as standard

  • A walk around the outside of the house with you to pick the outdoor unit spot before anything is drilled
  • The series and capacity matched to the room, with the 250 mm AP Mini offered where a standard unit will not fit
  • The model, sound rating and mounting method in writing for an owners corporation where one is involved
  • Insulated pipe run in a duct cover, brazed, then vacuumed and held before the valves are opened
  • A dedicated circuit and isolator from the switchboard, run and tested by a licensed electrician
  • The Wi-Fi adapter supplied, fitted and paired on the MSZ-AP if you want app control
  • Commissioning in heating and cooling, Night Mode and the timers set up with you
  • Before and after photos, and the old unit removed and taken away on a replacement

And the things we will not do

  • Mount an outdoor unit on the side boundary facing a neighbour’s bedroom when a rear wall will do
  • Fit a unit so tight to the ceiling or a cupboard that the inlet is starved
  • Leave you with a Wi-Fi capable unit and no adapter to make it work
  • Charge refrigerant into a pipe run that has not been vacuumed and held
  • Price the job from a photo of the wall – the office confirms the firm price before any work
How it works

From a phone call to a quiet room

1. Tell us the room and the boundary

Room size, what is on the wall now, and how close the neighbours are on the side you would mount on. The office gives you a free estimate over the phone.

2. Model, spot and firm price

We confirm the series and size with the supplier, agree the outdoor unit position, and the office confirms the price before any work.

3. Install day

Bracket, pipe run, dedicated circuit, vacuum, refrigerant, commissioning in heating and cooling. Most single installs are done in a morning or an afternoon.

4. Photos, walkthrough, then you pay

You see the finished job, we set up Night Mode, the timers and the app, and you pay after the job.

Straight answers

Mitsubishi Electric questions, answered straight

Which Mitsubishi Electric split system is the quietest?

Mitsubishi Electric rates the MSZ-AP25 as low as 18 dB(A) indoors on heating in quiet mode, and the MSZ-EF at 21 dB in quiet mode. Outside, Night Mode drops the outdoor unit by up to 3 dB. Correct sizing matters just as much: an oversized unit cycles on and off all night.

What is the MSZ-AP Mini and who is it for?

It is a 2.0 kW wall unit only 250 mm high. It suits a study, a nursery or a small bedroom, and especially a wall where the window head sits so high that a standard unit will not fit between it and the cornice. It heats and cools and takes the same optional Wi-Fi adapter as the rest of the AP series.

Can one Mitsubishi Electric unit handle an open-plan living area?

Often, yes. The MSZ-AP runs to 7.8 kW and the MSZ-AS90 is a 9.0 kW single wall unit built for large open living areas. Whether one unit or two is the better answer depends on the shape of the space and where the kitchen sits. Our single-versus-multi guide and a phone call settle it before the office quotes.

Does the MSZ-AP have Wi-Fi built in?

It is Wi-Fi capable, but Mitsubishi Electric’s MSZ-AP page says app control needs an additional MAC-568IF-E Wi-Fi controller fitted to each indoor unit. The MSZ-LN has Wi-Fi built in. If app control matters, say so when you call and we supply the adapter, fit it and pair the app before we leave, rather than leaving you with a box that cannot be found later.

How long is the Mitsubishi Electric warranty?

Mitsubishi Electric Australia gives five years parts and labour on its M Series and S Series units in residential use, covering the indoor and outdoor unit together against manufacturing defects. Replacement parts are covered for twelve months or the remainder of the warranty, whichever is longer. We record the model numbers and install date for you.

What does Dual Barrier Coating actually do?

It is a coating on the fan and internal surfaces of the MSZ-AP series that Mitsubishi Electric says reduces the build-up of dust and greasy dirt. It slows the grime, especially near a kitchen. It does not stop the coil fouling, clear a blocked drain or clean the filters, so the unit still needs a periodic strip-and-wash service.

How long does a Mitsubishi Electric split installation take?

A back-to-back install on an outside wall is usually a morning. Because we so often move the outdoor unit off the side boundary to a rear wall for the neighbours’ sake, a Mitsubishi Electric job is more likely than most to have a longer pipe run, and that, a double brick house or an upper storey makes it a full day. The office gives you the time when they confirm the price.

Will the outdoor unit bother my neighbours?

Not if it is placed properly. We walk the outside of the house with you and pick a spot where the fan does not face a neighbour’s window, with clearance so the unit does not recirculate its own air. Night Mode lowers the outdoor unit by up to 3 dB, and for strata we put the sound rating in writing.

Can a Mitsubishi Electric split replace my gas wall heater?

Yes. The MSZ-AP25 is rated at 3.2 kW heating and the MSZ-AP80 at 9.0 kW, so there is a size for anything from a small lounge to an open-plan living room, and a correctly sized unit runs for far less than a gas wall heater. When the gas heater is decommissioned the job may attract a Victorian Energy Upgrades discount, arranged through our accredited installation partners; a licensed gasfitter caps the gas line.

Worth knowing

The detail, for people who like detail

Mitsubishi Electric split system installation Melbourne

FreshDuct supplies and installs Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted split systems across metropolitan Melbourne – the MSZ-AP and 250 mm AP Mini, the slim MSZ-EF, the MSZ-LN, the MSZ-GS and the 9 kW MSZ-AS90 – placed for close neighbours and fitted by licensed electricians and ARC-licensed technicians. Free estimate over the phone, firm price before any work, pay after the job.

Quiet units, placed for close neighbours

Mitsubishi Electric rates the MSZ-AP25 as low as 18 dB(A) indoors in quiet mode, and Night Mode trims the outdoor unit by up to 3 dB. We match that with placement: a rear wall or a slab where the fan does not face a neighbour’s window, and the sound rating in writing for an owners corporation.

The AP Mini for tight walls

The 2.0 kW MSZ-AP Mini stands only 250 mm high, which solves the bedroom or study wall where a standard unit will not fit between the window head and the cornice. It heats and cools, takes the same optional Wi-Fi adapter as the AP series, and we fit it where a bigger unit would have been a compromise.

Wi-Fi, warranty and after-care

The MSZ-LN has Wi-Fi built in; the MSZ-AP needs the MAC-568IF-E adapter, which we supply and pair. Mitsubishi Electric gives five years parts and labour on residential M and S Series units. The same crews service and clean the units afterwards, and our Mitsubishi Electric service guide lists the common faults.
