Reverse cycle means that the air conditioning system can both provide both cooling and heating to your home. It’s a very efficient and economical way of heating and cooling.

Inverter air conditioners use a variable frequency output to control the speed of the compressor. The compressor is then able to ramp up and down to meet the cooling or heating load. When the cooling or heating demand is met the compressor will slow down, in return reducing running costs.

Inverter air conditioners reach the desired room conditions faster, and then constantly adjust to maintain the desired set point. Inverter air conditioners are more economical to operate and quieter to run than fixed speed units but need to be correctly sized.

All Mitsubishi Electric Air conditioners come equipped with inverter technology.

The correct sized unit for a room is not only decided by room area, but also many other factors. For accuracy a heat load calculation should be performed by a qualified professional. A heat load calculation comprises of many factors such as size of area, size of windows, roof type, building material, whether there is insulation, external shading, or internal shading etc. Incorrect sizing will lead to temperature control issues.

If you are unsure on sizing please contact your closest Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Dealer.

MEPS stand for Minimum Energy Performance Standards introduced by the Australian government. All systems sold by an Airconditioning manufacture must meet MEPS requirements. This energy rating is mandatory.

Many Air conditioners for sale in Australia now display a Zoned Energy Rating Label (ZERL). The ZERL provides a seasonal efficiency rating across 3 distinct climate zones relevant to Australia — hot, average, and cold.

The label displays performance information to help consumers select a product that is suitable for their climate zone. Ratings are up to a maximum of 10 stars for both heating and cooling.

The capacity output figures on an air conditioner label will let you know the amount of cooling and heating the model can produce. 

Also included in the new labelling is a noise indicator, to show the sound power levels of both the indoor and the outdoor unit.

Mitsubishi Electric M & S series models come with a warranty period of 5 years on parts and labour for residential application.

The timing between filter cleans can vary depending on how often you use your air conditioner, but it is recommended every two to four weeks with regular use.

If it has been a year or more since your air conditioner was installed, consider getting it serviced by an air conditioning professional. Not only will the system run more efficiently, cooling your home better, but it will also extend the life of your system.

Refer to our guide for How to clean you air conditioner filter for wall mounted split systems. For information on cleaning your ducted air conditioner, refer to your user manual, installer or contact our after sales support team.

Yes, operating air conditioning unit in set hours can can definitely help save energy and money. Setting the timer will minimise the hours your air conditioner is in use. You can also be strategic about these timings and set the timer to turn your air conditioning on before peak heat load conditions to counter the impact of peak summer or peak winter conditions, so the air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard.

You can log into your  Wi-Fi Control app account and control your air conditioner via the web browser version of the app. You will need to have the optional Wi-Fi Controller interface installed and configured for this option to you. 

Take a look at the back of the handheld remote control. If there is a sticker there it might have a code that is in the list of remote control model numbers.  Once you have your model number you can find User Manuals in the Support section.

In HEAT mode the indoor unit purely operates in heating mode and will blow warm air into the room until the set temperature is reached.  In AUTO mode the unit will run on HEAT or COOL depending on the room and set temperatures. Our HEAT mode vs AUTO mode air conditioning guide goes into a little more detail about the differences between the modes.

There are generally five different air conditioning symbols: AUTO Mode (chasing arrows), COOL Mode (snowflake), DRY Mode (water drop), HEAT Mode (sun), FAN mode (fan blades). Our simple air conditioner remote control symbols guide shows what the symbols look like.

1. Air Conditioners can achieve a small amount of dehumidification while operating in cooling mode. Air Conditioners will remove moisture from the room in cooling mode where the room temperature is more than 2°C above the set point.
2. Under 2°C above the set point the compressor will back off and will not remove moisture. The coil needs to be below dew point to remove moisture.
3. When an Air Conditioner is operating in heating mode, the unit does not provide dehumidification. The coil needs to be below dew point to remove moisture.
4. When an Inverter Air Conditioner cools the room to set temperature, and the compressor backs off, it is no longer effective at moisture removal.
5. Air Conditioners generally do not have published moisture removal rates in their specifications as they are not designed to be used as Dehumidifiers and there are too many variables to account for which will affect dehumidification.
6. An Air Conditioner is designed to provide conditions for human comfort, some dehumidification is achievable in cooling mode in some temperature/humidity ranges; this is by the principle of refrigeration rather than design.
7. A Dehumidifier is designed specifically to remove moisture from the air all year round. Dehumidifiers have a specified dehumidification rate or absorbed humidity rate (generally measured in litres over 24 hours for a given temperature and humidity).

If you have multiple rooms or large open spaces to keep warm this winter, installing a ducted air conditioning system can have many benefits. Rather than just heating a single room with a wall-mounted split system or portable heater, a ducted system has the benefit of being hidden in the roof space with ductwork going to each room, which allows you to heat multiple areas in your home at once.

Read more about the benefits of ducted air conditioning in our blog post.

Whether you have a ducted or a split system unit, regular maintenance of your home’s air conditioning system will help improve its performance and extend its life span. To ensure your system is operating with maximum efficiency, it is recommended to clean your unit as instructed by the manufacturer and have it serviced regularly.

The most important thing you can do to get the most out of your air conditioner is clean the filters regularly. Cleaning the dust and fluff out of the filters not only allows the air to flow freely through the air conditioner without having it labour and work harder to do its job, but it ensures the air produced is cleaner and healthier for your family.
