Mitsubishi MSZ-GL Series Questions & Answers

Hi Sharon! If you want to know the product specifications just check their website.

Hi Katy, I’m so sorry can’t really answer your question but can assure it won’t cost that much.

Hi, ours is the larger unit. 7.8 or 8kW I think.
Inside we never hear it. To check if it is on we look to see if the vents are open and/or the little green light is on.
Outside you would have to be standing right beside it to hear it.

That is not an answer to my question; it is an opinion. There are precise units dB for measuring noise levels and I am asking for the actual values inside and outside.

Perhaps you can send me the specification sheets which I prefer as an engineer to get detailed and exact answers.

As a consumer and not an electrician I presume they represent the Model of the unit.

Hi Yvonne, I not an installer.... I would suggest contacting an electrician.

Harvey Norman organised an installer.

It sounds like your dimensions are on par with our garage/home office. We are in QLD so I don't know how it would stack up to Tassie. Probably the slow heat up time would be a downside, but the quiet levels would be great for a living are.

Match Air Conditioning to Your Room Size
Room Size m2 Capacity - Cooling (C)/Heating (H)
5.5m x 5.5m = 30m2 3.5kw(c)/3.7KW(H) - 5.0KW(C)/6.0KW(H)
6.3m x 6.3m = 40m2 5.0KW(C)/6.0KW(H) - 6.0KW(C)/7.2KW(H)
6.7m x 6.7m = 45m2 6.0KW(C)/7.2KW(H) - 7.1KW(C)/8.0KW(H)
7.1m x 7.1m = 50m2 7.1KW(C)/8.0KW(H) - 8.0KW(C)/9.0KW(H)

It will have outlet filters. My model is the 7.1 but assuming they are similar you need to open the hatch at the front of the indoor unit. It lifts upwards. The filters will be visible and slide out easily. A bit hard to explain but here but it is quite simple.

Stewpot has answered this as i have no idea... I will just get in the airconditioner cleaner to do it... lol

I wouldn’t be worried if the unit is at the required temperature inside the house you will find it will probably stop spinning outside as it only runs when expelling the warm/cold air from the inside of the house, it will run when required which is part of the energy saving.

When first started the outside unit will not run for 10 minutes or so. That is normal. It may also stop if inside the house is at the correct temperature and this will save power. If the inside unit works properly nothing is wrong. The outside unit can be very quiet so you need to carefully check if the fan is turning.
One way to test it is to turn the inside temperature to its lowest setting and turn the fan to the highest speed. Outside unit should start running after about 10 minutes.

We got the MSZ-GL80VGD(8Kw) and it cools our 60m2 family kitchen area with all windows and doors closed hope this helps.

Hi, find the paperwork concerning the installation, if found see if installation warranty is more than two years if so ring company to redo flares
( most probably where leak is ) if out of installation warranty period, you may be still able to talk to manager and plead your case of faulty workmanship and not bag his company on social media . Regas and repair of flares by a honest Friggie on a 2.5kw should only be around $350 at most for a back to back installation . Good luck .

Harvey norman they gave me 60 mths interest free but I had to ask though as its normally 18 for aircon

I think it's normal. I have a same issue.

Hi. Depending upon the ambient temperature, it may take longer to heat the indoor unit coil to the right temperature prior to starting the fan. It will also not run the fan above low speed until it is satisfied it can keep a certain air temperature.
All inverter units start their compressors at the lowest speed and can take around 7-8 minutes to reach normal full speed. The other factor which can effect heating startup is the length of pipe run between indoor & outdoor unit. The longer the run, the longer it takes to reach "normal" operation. Hope this helps.

John can we have your question in English and we maybe able to help

I agree, this review of his installer has nothing to do with the product. If product review had any thoughts of being useful they need to take stuff like this down

I also agree. The product is "unaware" of its intended location. So, an 8KW system could (to take it to the extreme) be installed in an outdoors football stadium and clearly it would not do the trick. On the other hand it would perform brilliantly in your en-suite. It is not the manufacture's fault. Mitsubishi have a great reputation, second to none - just take a look at CHOICE's review of a/c units as an example. We have one unit and another on the way. Mr Bishi, you're the one for us !
