In today’s climate-conscious world, the demand for smarter, greener, and more efficient air conditioning is rising fast.
Whether you're a homeowner looking to lower your energy bills or a small business owner aiming to create a more comfortable environment for staff and customers, the new MSZ-RZ R290 is worth your attention.
What is the MSZ-RZ R290?
At its core, the MSZ-RZ R290 is a premium plus wall-mounted inverter heat pump system. That might sound technical, but in simple terms: it’s a compact, super-efficient heating and cooling unit designed to deliver high performance all year round, without the high carbon footprint.
What sets this system apart? It uses R290, a natural refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 0.02.
That’s incredibly low compared to older refrigerants, making it one of the most eco-friendly choices on the market today.
Why it’s ideal for residential air conditioning
