Best forCold-climate rooms with no usable wall space that need real heating output from a low unit.

Overview

This is Mitsubishi's floor console with the Hyper-Heat condenser, built for rooms where the walls are glass, sloped or short and a wall head has nowhere to go. Because heat comes out low, it feels more like a baseboard heater than a high wall unit, which helps in a cold basement or sunroom. Maximum heating is 18,000 BTU, full capacity holds down to 5°F, heating is guaranteed to -13°F and the unit keeps running to -22°F. The price is the catch: at roughly $4,400 it is the most expensive 12k floor system in this catalog, and 17.2 SEER2 is low next to a Fujitsu AGUH floor unit at 25. You pay for the cold-weather capacity and the Mitsubishi support network.

Questions buyers ask

What does Hyper-Heat add to this floor mount?+

NEEP lists 15,000 BTU at both 47°F and 5°F, so it holds full capacity, with COP 2.1. Mitsubishi rates it to -22°F, against -4°F on the standard version. It costs $4,364 against $3,722.

Why a floor mount?+

The indoor unit sits at the baseboard, so there is no wall-hung head and heat rises from the floor. The lineset runs through the wall behind it or out the bottom. It suits rooms with tall windows or sloped ceilings.

What is the efficiency?+

SEER2 is 17.2 and HSPF2 10, lower SEER2 than the standard floor mount at 19.6. You pay for the heating capacity rather than cooling efficiency.

Do I need a licensed installer?+

The registered 10-year term assumes one. R-454B calls for an installer certified in A2L handling.
