A good fit if…

  • Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 19,400 BTU/h at 5°F.
  • You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

Think twice if…

  • Cooling cost matters most - its SEER2 is below average for mini-splits.

Questions6
What is the SEER2 rating of the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GX24NL?
The Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GX24NL is rated at up to 21.5 SEER2 and 13.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.3 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
Is the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GX24NL good for cold climates?
Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 19,400 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.80, so it is still 1.8 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
How much does the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GX24NL cost to run per year?
At its rated efficiency it costs about $494-$1,619 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $651 in Phoenix and $1,384 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
Is the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GX24NL the same as the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GX24NLH2?
Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists both model numbers with identical efficiency, capacity and matchups, which means the same outdoor unit sold under a different brand or with a minor variant code (voltage, colour or region). The full list is on this page.
Which indoor units work with the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GX24NL?
ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses MSZ-GX24NL.
What refrigerant does the Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-GX24NL use?
It uses R-454B.

Estimates use the unit's rated SEER2 and HSPF2, full-load hours derived from NOAA 1991-2020 degree days, average residential electricity prices from the U.S. EIA (12 months to July 2026) and fuel prices from EIA (2025 for natural gas, week of 2026-10-05 for propane and heating oil). Very cold days that need backup heat are not modelled. Federal minimum for comparison: 14.3 SEER2 / 7.5 HSPF2.
