Which Mitsubishi system fits your home?
Mitsubishi Electric's Canadian line-up is built around Zuba, its cold-climate family designed for Canadian winters. The 2026 line-up uses R-454B refrigerant. The right system depends on whether your home has ductwork, how many rooms you want to heat and cool, and whether you're keeping your furnace.
Zuba Central
Ducted, whole home
Homes with ductwork that want to heat and cool the whole house with one system
Zuba Multi
Multi-zone
Homes without ductwork, additions, or houses where some rooms never feel right
Zuba Single
Single room

4-way ceiling cassette
SLZ-AF
A compact 2 ft × 2 ft ceiling unit that spreads air in four directions for larger or open rooms.
Ceiling-concealed (ducted)
SEZ (low static), PEAD (medium static)
Hidden in a ceiling or bulkhead with short duct runs. Only the vents show.
Multi-position air handler
SVZ-AP, PVA-AA
Connects to existing ductwork to heat and cool a whole home or a large zone.
Warranty
Mitsubishi Electric's standard warranty is 5 years on parts and 7 years on the compressor. It extends to 10 years on parts and compressor when the system is installed and registered by a Mitsubishi Electric Quality (MEQ) certified contractor.
Afterglow is MEQ certified and a Summit Tierdealer, the top tier of Mitsubishi Electric's Residential Summit Program. Cold Climate Hyper-Heat (H2i) systems we install get a 12-year parts and compressor warranty. PUMY and commercial products are excluded, and conditions apply.
Rebates
Cold-climate heat pumps can qualify for Canada's National Heat Pump Rebate and Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program. Both check the exact model against their own product lists, so we'll confirm eligibility before you buy.
Read our guide to the new federal rebateMitsubishi heat pump FAQ
Will a Mitsubishi heat pump work through a Waterloo Region winter?
Mitsubishi's Zuba cold-climate heat pumps are rated to keep heating down to -30°C (Zuba Central and Zuba Multi) or -37°C (FX and GX single-zone). They deliver full rated heating output down to -15°C, or -23°C for the FX series. Depending on your home, a backup heat source may still be recommended for the coldest days, which we'll size for you.
What's the difference between Zuba and standard Mitsubishi heat pumps?
Zuba is Mitsubishi's cold-climate line with Hyper-Heat (H2i) technology, designed for Canadian winters. Standard models like the HX and JX series heat down to about -25°C, for homes that don't need full cold-climate performance.
Can I keep my gas furnace?
Yes. Zuba Hybrid adds a heat pump coil to an existing gas, electric or propane furnace and switches between the two depending on which is more efficient. A ducted cold-climate heat pump can also be installed with your furnace kept as backup.
What warranty comes with a Mitsubishi heat pump?
Mitsubishi Electric's standard warranty is 5 years on parts and 7 years on the compressor. It extends to 10 years on parts and compressor when the system is installed and registered by a Mitsubishi Electric Quality (MEQ) certified contractor. Afterglow is MEQ certified and a Summit Tier dealer in Mitsubishi Electric's Residential Summit Program, so Cold Climate Hyper-Heat (H2i) systems we install get a 12-year parts and compressor warranty. PUMY and commercial products are excluded, and conditions apply.
Do Mitsubishi heat pumps qualify for rebates?
Many Mitsubishi cold-climate models are Energy Star certified. Canada's National Heat Pump Rebate and Ontario's Home Renovation Savings program both require the specific model to be on their eligible product lists, so we'll confirm your exact model before you buy.
Find the right Mitsubishi system for your home
We'll look at your ductwork, insulation and heating costs, size the system for your house, and show you the ratings for the exact models we recommend.
Specifications from Mitsubishi Electric Sales Canada: the Zuba cold climate brochure (MEM-202523, 2025), the Zuba Central brochure (MEM-202605, 2026), the multi-zone brochure (MEM-202602, 2026), the FX, GX, HX and JX series sheets, and the 2026 homeowner catalogue (MEM-202601). "Up to" figures are the best rating in each series. Low-temperature figures include tolerance; Mitsubishi rounds -36.7°C to -37°C, and units stop heating at a pre-set outdoor cut-out temperature that varies by model. Depending on location and use, an auxiliary heat source may be required. Specifications can change without notice.
