Why Mitsubishi Electric

The World's #1 Selling Mini-Split Brand

Designed for Canada

The Zuba-Central was developed specifically for the Canadian market. Every component is engineered for extreme cold performance — this isn't a warm-climate product with a cold-weather sticker on it.

Professional Installation

H&C's licensed technicians are trained on Mitsubishi ducted systems. Proper duct sizing, airflow balancing, and refrigerant charging are critical for the Zuba to perform as rated in extreme cold.

Financing Available

The Zuba-Central is a premium investment that pays for itself over time. Flexible financing plus government rebates can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost. Many homeowners see positive cash flow from day one.

Not Sure Which Size
Is Right for Your Home?

Sizing a ducted heat pump is critical — especially in cold climates. Too small and it can't keep up during a polar vortex. Too large and it short-cycles, wasting energy. Our licensed technicians perform a Manual J heat-loss calculation and recommend the right tonnage for your home's specific needs.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Zuba-Central really replace my furnace?
Yes — that's exactly what it's designed to do. The Zuba-Central connects to your existing ductwork and delivers 100% heating capacity at –15°C, continuing to operate at –30°C. Thousands of Canadian homes run Zuba-Central as their sole heating source. For the coldest nights, some homeowners keep a small electric backup, but most run Zuba-only year-round.
Does it work with my existing ductwork?
Yes — the Zuba-Central indoor air handler connects to standard residential ductwork. In most cases, your existing ducts work perfectly. Our technicians will inspect your duct system during the assessment and recommend any modifications needed for optimal airflow.
How does it compare to the M-Series ductless?
The M-Series H2i is a ductless system with wall-mounted indoor units — great for targeted zones or homes without ductwork. The Zuba-Central is a ducted system that conditions your entire home through existing ductwork. Choose Zuba if you want whole-home coverage through ducts; choose M-Series if you prefer zone-by-zone control or don't have ductwork.
What about the 10-year warranty?
The Zuba-Central comes with a 10-year parts and compressor warranty when installed by an MEQ (Mitsubishi Electric Quality) certified installer. This is Mitsubishi's best warranty coverage, reflecting their confidence in the product's durability for Canadian conditions.
What government rebates are available?
Ducted cold-climate heat pumps qualify for the highest rebate tiers. The Canada Greener Homes Grant offers up to $5,000, and Ontario has additional programs. Combined incentives can exceed $10,000. H&C handles all paperwork and will advise you on every rebate you qualify for.
How long does installation take?
A typical Zuba-Central installation takes 1.5–2 days. This includes removing the old furnace/AC, installing the outdoor unit and indoor air handler, connecting to ductwork, running refrigerant lines, electrical work, and full commissioning.

What GTA Homeowners Say
About Their Heat Pump

"Replaced our 20-year-old furnace and AC with the Zuba-Central. The installation used our existing ducts — no wall units needed. First winter we saw our combined heating/cooling costs drop by 45%. The house is quieter too. Can't believe we waited so long."

"We were nervous about going fully electric in Ontario but H&C walked us through the whole thing. The Zuba kept our 3,000 sq ft home warm through a –28°C stretch last January. Gas bill: $0. The rebates covered over $8,000 of the cost."

"The Zuba is the real deal for Canadian winters. Our 2,200 sq ft home in Barrie — where it regularly hits –25°C — has been fully heated by this system for two winters now. Installation was clean, H&C used our existing ducts, and the 10-year warranty gives us peace of mind."
