Technology is advancing rapidly, and air conditioners offer much more than basic heating and cooling. “Australians are increasingly looking for air conditioning solutions that keep their health and wellness needs front and centre,” says Atesh Mani, National Product Manager at Mitsubishi Electric Australia. This growing interest reflects a desire for appliances that support modern lifestyles.
Installing a reverse cycle split system air conditioner is the perfect choice for many homes during winter. The Mitsubishi Electric AP Series now comes in a more extensive range of sizes to suit most spaces, from the MSZ-AP20 for small home offices to the MSZ-AS90 suitable for open-plan living areas. But what features do you need to look for when buying a split air conditioning system? Let’s take a look.
Dual Barrier Coating
Dirt and dust are two of the biggest enemies of air conditioners. They slow down the machine and fail to heat or cool the room, straining the system and decreasing energy efficiency. Accumulated material can also deteriorate air quality, releasing allergens and pollutants back into your home’s environment.
The AP Series combats this by using Dual Barrier Coating on the heat exchanger and facial surfaces, effectively reducing the accumulation of hydrophilic dirt like fibre and sand dust and hydrophobic substances such as oils and cigarette smoke. This Mitsubishi Electric designed technology ensures split system air conditioners remain cleaner for longer, prolonging their operational life and making maintenance easier.
Anti-Allergy Enzyme Filter
Maintaining a clean and healthy indoor air quality is key for comfort and health, especially for those sensitive to allergens. Clean, fresh air reduces the risk of allergic reactions and respiratory issues, making it a concern for all. This is why, when looking for a new split system, it is important to make sure it has an anti-allergy filter.
The largest capacity addition to the series, the Mitsubishi Electric AS90 model, addresses this need with a built-in Anti-Allergy Enzyme Filter. This filter captures and decomposes common allergens like mould and bacteria using enzymes retained within the filter itself. This traps these irritants and breaks them down, enhancing the air quality in your house and providing extra peace of mind for those with allergy concerns.
Far-reaching Airflow
Effective climate control in large spaces requires a split system air conditioner that ensures consistent airflow across the entire room. Mitsubishi Electric split systems feature Long Mode, Wide Vane, and Powerful Mode, offering versatile options to suit different needs.
Long Mode increases fan speed and adjusts the horizontal vane to extend airflow further, ensuring conditioned air reaches even the farthest parts of the room. This feature is especially useful in long or open-plan spaces.
Wide Vane allows you to direct airflow exactly where you need it, with options to set the direction from extreme left to extreme right or enable a swinging motion that moves continuously across the room. This flexibility helps create a more personalised and comfortable environment.
Powerful Mode delivers a temporary boost in cooling or heating by maximising fan speed and adjusting temperature settings for rapid results. It runs for 15 minutes before automatically returning to the previous settings, making it ideal for quickly adapting to sudden comfort needs.
These features work together to provide tailored airflow solutions for any space. To maximise comfort, use a higher fan speed to cool or heat the room more quickly, and lower the fan speed once the desired temperature is reached for quieter operation. This combination ensures consistent, efficient, and peaceful climate control throughout your home.

Wi-Fi Control
The importance of Wi-Fi control in air conditioning systems cannot be overstated. It allows homeowners to manage their indoor environment from any location through a smartphone, tablet or web browser. This level of control is perfect for ensuring your home is at the ideal temperature when you arrive or for adjusting settings when you’re away, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
Mitsubishi Electric Wi-Fi Control[1]. This innovative technology connects the Mitsubishi Electric air conditioner to the user’s smartphone, tablet or online account, giving you the freedom to fully control each unit on the go via an internet connection, perfect for when you want your room at the ideal temperature when you arrive home.
Night Mode
Night mode in air conditioning systems plays a key role in ensuring sleep quality and overall comfort during nighttime hours. By optimising the operational settings of the air conditioner, night mode minimises disruptions.
This includes dimming LED displays on the unit that might otherwise brighten a dark room, silencing beep alerts that can interrupt sleep, and reducing the operational noise of the outdoor unit by up to 3 dBA, helping to maintain a quiet environment both indoors and outdoors.
