A good fit if…
- Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 19,700 BTU/h at 5°F.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- Cooling cost matters most - its SEER2 is below average for mini-splits.
- 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-GS24NA?
- The Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GS24NA is rated at up to 21.5 SEER2 and 12.6 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.3 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
- Is the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GS24NA good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 19,700 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.10, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GS24NA cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $494-$1,619 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $651 in Phoenix and $1,384 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-GS24NA the same as the Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXSST24B112?
- 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-GS24NA?
- ENERGY STAR lists 3 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use MSZ-GS24NA, American Standard / Mitsubishi Electric NAXWST24B112, Trane / Mitsubishi Electric NTXWST24B112.
- What refrigerant does the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GS24NA 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.
