A good fit if…
- You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 99% of mini-splits.
- Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 10,500 BTU/h at 5°F.
- It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 88% of mini-splits.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS06NA?
- The Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS06NA is rated at up to 32.2 SEER2 and 19.1 EER2 for cooling and up to 11.9 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
- Is the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS06NA good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 10,500 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.46, so it is still 2.5 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS06NA cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $90-$418 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $136 in Phoenix and $368 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Is the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS06NA the same as the Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXSPH06B112A?
- Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists both model numbers with identical efficiency, capacity and matchups, which means the same outdoor unit sold under a different brand or with a minor variant code (voltage, colour or region). The full list is on this page.
- Which indoor units work with the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS06NA?
- ENERGY STAR lists 3 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use MSZ-FS06NA, American Standard / Mitsubishi Electric NAXWPH06B112A, Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXWPH06B112A.
- What refrigerant does the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS06NA use?
- It uses R-410A. R-410A is being phased down under the EPA AIM Act, and new systems are moving to R-454B and R-32.
