What Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is known for
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is a large Japanese engineering group, and its heat pumps come from its thermal systems business. In New Zealand it is often quoted as a value-focused alternative to the most familiar brands.
Not the same company as Mitsubishi Electric
This catches people out. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric share part of a name and nothing else that matters to you: different products, different warranties, different dealers. Check the full brand name on any quote.
The range in New Zealand
Expect high-walls, ducted systems and multi-splits, with floor consoles in parts of the range. Ask your installer which models they stock and service.
Who it suits
A good option if you want Japanese engineering and are comparing value across brands. As with all of them, the installer you choose matters as much as the badge.
What to ask before you buy
- Which models in the range suit my room size and climate?
- What is the heating output at low outdoor temperatures?
- What warranty applies to parts and labour, and does it need regular servicing?
- Is Wi-Fi or app control included, or an add-on?
- Do you install this brand regularly, and who handles warranty work?
