Which one is right for you?
Pick the MSZ-GX36NL 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-AE36NL 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 23.3 SEER2 vs 18.5
Recessed into the ceiling with a grille below; needs attic or ceiling space above and a condensate route.
