Mitsubishi makes a lot of products. And if you are shopping for the perfect ductless mini split product, you might be confused or overwhelmed. In this blog post, we will go over the four most popular high wall units from Mitsubishi. We will explain their features and benefits so that you can make the right decision.
1) MSZ-JP
This is the most popular Mitsubishi system. This unit is only available in the 9k and 12k BTU model. It is the only Mitsubishi ductless unit that is 115v. This is a big deal in the United States since you can only get 220v from your main panel. Many homes were built without considering the HVAC and so it may be difficult to get 220v to the rooms that you need. This system is rated at 16 SEER and can get up to 17 SEER. Overall this is a solid product that we recommend our customers.
2) MSZ-WR
This is for the most part the same system as the MSZ-JP. The only difference is that this unit comes in 220v. This model includes 9k, 12k, 18k, and 24k. The MSZ-WR and the MSZ-JP are almost the same. For the most part, we can interchange the two. This is a solid option for most applications.
3) MSZ-HM
This unit is very similar to the MSZ-WR. The main difference is that this unit is 18 SEER, slightly more efficient than the MSZ-WR. It is also slightly more expensive as well. For the most part, the MSZ-HM is the middle child of the Mitsubishi product line. It is not a very popular option. It exists in order to fill the product line gap between the MSZ-WR and the higher end MSZ-FS.
4) MSZ-FS
This is the Rolls Royce of the ductless mini split market. It is without a doubt the best product on the market. It has the best features, high SEER rating of up to 23, and is super quiet. It has the best air filter on the market, an I-see infrared sensor, and superior corrosion resistant coating. If you want the best product that will last the longest, the MSZ-FS is well worth the investment.
In summary, Mitsubishi makes very reliable ductless mini split products. They are the best brand on the market. They make several different models and the one that we recommend for most customers is the MSZ-JP or the MSZ-WR. These are solid options with the 10 year manufacturer warranties. They should last between 15 and 20 years.
For those that want the best products on the market, the MSZ-FS is the one for you. It packs all the features and it simply has no rival. It is the most expensive ductless mini split on the market but if you can afford it, it is worth stretching your budget for.
