A good fit if…

  • You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 98% of mini-splits.
  • Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 11,300 BTU/h at 5°F.
  • It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 72% 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.

Questions6
What is the SEER2 rating of the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS09NA?
The Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS09NA is rated at up to 29.8 SEER2 and 16.1 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.9 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
Is the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS09NA good for cold climates?
Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 11,300 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.40, so it is still 2.4 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
How much does the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS09NA cost to run per year?
At its rated efficiency it costs about $144-$522 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $197 in Phoenix and $451 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-FS09NA the same as the Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXSPH09B112A?
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-FS09NA?
ENERGY STAR lists 3 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use MSZ-FS09NA, American Standard / Mitsubishi Electric NAXWPH09B112A, Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXWPH09B112A.
What refrigerant does the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FS09NA 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.

Estimates use the unit's rated SEER2 and HSPF2, full-load hours derived from NOAA 1991-2020 degree days, average residential electricity prices from the U.S. EIA (12 months to July 2026) and fuel prices from EIA (2025 for natural gas, week of 2026-10-05 for propane and heating oil). Very cold days that need backup heat are not modelled. Federal minimum for comparison: 14.3 SEER2 / 7.5 HSPF2.
