Model MSZ-EF42VG

The 4.2kW Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-EF Designer Split (model MSZ-EF42VG) is sized for living rooms and master suites. As a guide it suits a typical insulated room of roughly 28 to 34m²; sun exposure and ceiling height move that band. If the space is bigger, has high ceilings or strong afternoon sun, step up to the 5kW.

Part of the Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-EF Designer Split range, Mitsubishi Electric's split system line, in 4 sizes. Running costs below use the Sydney median rate; the Eastern Suburbs and Western Sydney pages cost systems on their own network tariffs. Check the size against your rooms, compare it with other 4.2 kW options, or ask about supply and installation.
