Which one is right for you?

Pick the MSZ-GX30NL if

  • it's a garage, bedroom or single room and you want the simplest install
  • you don't have attic or ceiling access above the room

Hangs high on an outside wall; the refrigerant lines leave through one small hole behind the unit.

Pick the PLA-AE30NL if

  • the room is open-plan and you want even air from the center of the ceiling
  • you'd rather nothing hang on the wall
  • efficiency matters most: up to 21.9 SEER2 vs 19.2

Recessed into the ceiling with a grille below; needs attic or ceiling space above and a condensate route.
