Mitsubishi SLZ-AF09NL & SUZ-AA09NLHZ 9,000 BTU 16.6 SEER2 Four-Way Ceiling Cassette Hyper Heating Heat Pump System (w/ Standard Grille) - R454B

Mitsubishi SLZ‑AF09NL & SUZ‑AA09NLHZ: 9,000 BTU Ceiling‑Cassette Cold‑Climate Heat‑Pump System

The Mitsubishi SLZ‑AF09NL 4‑way ceiling cassette paired with the SUZ‑AA09NLHZ Hyper‑Heating outdoor condenser delivers a high‑efficiency 9 k BTU single‑zone system designed for cold climates and compact spaces like bedrooms, home offices, or small retail areas. This cold‑weather configuration features Mitsubishi’s advanced Hyper‑Heating INVERTER® (H2i®) technology, maintaining reliable heat output even in sub‑zero temperatures. The system uses R454B refrigerant, an INVERTER‑driven twin‑rotary compressor, and PAM control for responsive, energy‑saving operation.

Rated for spaces around 350 sq ft, the system includes the required SLP‑18FAU decorative grille, which provides a clean, flush‑mount finish within a 24 × 24 in. ceiling grid. A 33 in. built‑in lift pump, Blue Fin anti‑corrosion protection, and integrated Wi‑Fi control via Mitsubishi’s Comfort Cloud app offer lasting performance, quiet operation, and effortless smart‑home connectivity.
