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.
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 and continues to deliver exceptional heating performance when the outdoor temperature drops as low as -30°C* and beyond. The unique defrost mechanism provides an extended period of continuous heating between defrost cycles and minimizes the defrost time required.
*Typical outdoor units will operate to the manufacturer’s pre-programmed cut-out (outdoor ambient) temperature which ranges from -30 °C to -10 °C . Product will resume operation at pre-programmed outdoor ambient cut-in temperature which ranges from -25 °C to -10 °C.

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 50%* 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 a 2014 Study by Natural Resources Canada comparing electric baseboard heating vs. a heat pump. Potential savings may vary depending on type of equipment, personal lifestyle, system settings, equipment maintenance, and installation of equipment.
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 and MSZ-FS models
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 experience up to 50%* on energy savings.
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) & Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER)
SEER measures the efficiency level of an air conditioning system throughout an entire cooling season, whereas EER 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 SEER and EER rating.
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) & Coefficient of Performance (COP)
HSPF 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 HSPF and COP rating results in better energy savings. Zuba delivers high HSPF 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.
Clean, green performance
Zuba systems utilize R-410A, an ozone-friendly refrigerant. This eco-friendly approach not only helps you reduce your carbon footprint but translates into better energy-efficiency and performance.
*Based on a 2014 Study by Natural Resources Canada comparing electric baseboard heating vs. a heat pump. Potential savings may vary depending on type of equipment, personal lifestyle, system settings, equipment maintenance, installation of equipment, and applicable regional electrical utility delivery and regulatory charges.

Most models in the Zuba family are backed by a 10-year** extended warranty on parts and compressor. Zuba Single Plus, our most advanced model comes with an exclusive 12-year† extended warranty on parts and compressor.
