What exactly is Zuba?

It’s not a fitness dance craze, or a hot new streaming service, Zuba is a family of Cold Climate Heat Pumps featuring Hyper-Heat Technology, and was developed as a home heating and cooling system specifically for Canada. By delivering exceptional heating performance in the winter and effortless cooling in the summer, Zuba delivers year-round comfort with or without a supplemental indoor heating device. Additionally, Zuba’s unique hot-start technology provides warmth from the moment it’s turned on, helping to reduce drafts. This year, we launched our R-454B lineup which includes some of our most advanced models yet.

What can Zuba mean to you?

Now you can experience the year-round comfort, savings, quality and reliability you deserve. The secret behind Zuba’s superior heating capabilities is our efficient and patented Cold Climate Hyper-Heat (H2iTM) technology. Designed for the Canadian market, Zuba operates at 100% heating capacity at -15°C with the FS model at -20, and the FX at -23. Zuba continues to deliver exceptional heating performance when the outdoor temperature drops as low as -37 °C*. The unique defrost mechanism provides an extended period of continuous heating between defrost cycles and minimizes the defrost time required.

*Heats to -36.7°C (rounded to nearest integer of -37°C) on GX and FX models only.  Outdoor units will operate to cut-out temperature which ranges from -36.7°C to -10°C. Product will resume operation at cut-in temperature which ranges from -25°C to -12°C. (See product documentation for details.)

Key features & benefits

Variable Compressor Speed Inverter (VCSi) Technology

All Zuba Cold Climate Heat Pump systems are powered by VCSi technology. This allows you to achieve consistent temperatures throughout your space while saving you up to $3,400* in energy costs. Unlike conventional units which only cycle between On and Off, Zuba is able to adjust capacities to continuously match the exact heating and cooling needs of your home – so you only pay for the energy you actually use.

*Based on NRCAN study 2022. Switching to electric heat pumps can save Canadian up to $3,400. Conditions apply

3D i-see-Sensor

The 3D i-see Sensor* scans the entire room and divides it into 752 zones, detecting exactly where you and your family are located based on your unique body temperature, and directs the perfect amount of cool or warm air flow to match your ideal comfort level. The 3D i-see Sensor is so precise, it can even differentiate between people and pets!

*Available on the MSZ-FH, SLZ-KF/AF, MSZ-FS, MSZ-FX, PLA-AE and PCA-AK (optional).

Dual Barrier Coating

The patented Mitsubishi Electric Dual Barrier Coating, exclusive to Zuba Single Plus, prevents dust and dirt from accumulating on the inner surface of your heat pump; keeping it clean year-round.

Clearing the air on comfort

Now more than ever, the quality of the air you breathe is important. Here are some of the high-quality Filtration systems you will find in many of our Zuba indoor units.

Nano Platinum Filter
With a 3D surface and a large capture area incorporating nanometer-sized platinum-ceramic particles, bacteria, mold, and odours are broken down.

Deodorizing Filter
The catalyst denatures odorous components and destroys them from the source, quickly delivering fresh air to your room.

Electrostatic Anti-Allergy Enzyme Filter
The electrostatically charged filter efficiently traps tiny particles and the enzyme component contained in the filter neutralizes viruses, bacteria, and allergens.
Filtration systems vary depending on model.

Setting the standard for efficiency

At Mitsubishi Electric, we stand behind every product that bears our name. That’s why the entire Zuba line is engineered with energy-efficiency in mind, so you can save up to $3,400.*

Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2) & Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER2)
SEER2 measures the efficiency level of an air conditioning system throughout an entire cooling season, whereas EER2 calculates how efficiently a cooling system will operate at a specified outdoor temperature (35°C). The higher the number the more efficient a system is. All Zuba systems deliver a high SEER2 and EER2 rating.

Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF2(V)) & Coefficient of Performance (COP)
HSPF2(V) measures the efficiency level of a heat pump during an entire heating season. COP lets you know the efficiency level during specific outdoor temperatures of the heating season. A higher HSPF2(V) and COP rating results in better energy savings. Zuba delivers high HSPF2(V) and COP ratings, ensuring your comfort during the cold winter months.

Energy Star® Rated

The majority of the models in the Zuba line are Energy Star® rated, ensuring you enjoy a comfortable space as well as lower energy costs.

*Based on NRCAN study 2022. Switching to electric heat pumps can save Canadians up to $3,400. Conditions apply.

Extended peace-of-mind

Most models in the Zuba family are backed by a 10-year** extended warranty on parts and compressor.

**When installed and registered by a MEQ certified HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Installer. Certain conditions, restrictions and/or limitations apply. See warranty terms and conditions for complete details.

Whisper quiet operation

Mitsubishi Electric products are among the quietest heating and cooling systems you can buy. Introduce your space to some peace and quiet with indoor units that operate as low as 20 dB (A). That’s literally as quiet as a whisper.

Small size – massive improvement

The Zuba outdoor units measure from 11-4/16; to only 14 inches deep – which sits perfectly alongside your exterior wall and gives you back more of your precious backyard and patio space than a traditional A/C system can.

For illustration purposes only. Actual installation may differ.
