Wi-Fi Control Energy Monitoring (Beta)
Explore our new Energy Monitoring feature in its beta stage.
Starting with 'Enhanced Energy View' units, data will be tested and analysed to identify and correct any issues. Other units, referred to as 'Indicative Energy View', will be phased in as their accuracy is analysed.
Smart Monitoring for Efficient Heating and Cooling All Year Round
Mitsubishi Electric Wi-Fi Heat Pump Energy Monitoring truly puts the power in your hands and gives you and your family the visibility to make more energy efficient choices when heating and cooling your home. Now, you can monitor the indicative energy use of a compatible Mitsubishi Electric Heat Pump* connected with built-in or optional Wi-Fi Control, using the Mitsubishi Electric App.
View Energy Usage by Month, Day or Hour
Using your smartphone or tablet, you can see at a glance on a monthly, daily and even hourly basis what the indicative costs of running your heat pump looks like in dollars.

A set temperature that is too high will not make a room heat up quicker!
Putting the temperature up higher than the desired room temperature will also not make a room heat up quicker in winter. It will in fact make your heat pump work harder trying to get to a temperature that is too high. As a result it will cost much more to run.
For example, setting the temperature to 26°C instead of 21°C for 8 hours a day could increase your running cost by as much as 50%!
Note: Actual costs may vary based on indoor and outdoor temperatures.
How To Use
Get Started Using Wi-Fi Control Energy Monitoring
Existing App Users
If your Wi-Fi Heat Pump Control is already configured and working with your compatible Mitsubishi Electric Heat Pump*, you can start using Wi-Fi Control Energy Monitoring.
New App Users
If you haven’t set up Wi-Fi Heat Pump Control yet, download the app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store. Follow the setup guide found under [Support] > [How to Setup] to add your Mitsubishi Electric Heat Pump to Wi-Fi Control.
Start In-App Energy Monitoring
1) Select the heat pump you would like to monitor the energy usage of.
2) If your heat pump is compatible you will see [Energy Monitoring] underneath the airflow direction.
3) Set your cents per kWh (c/kWh) rate which you can find on your power bill. In this example, we have used the national average.

Energy Monitoring Not Displaying?
1) Check Your Heat Pump Model is Wi-Fi Energy Monitoring Compatible
Compatible Heat Pumps with Optional Wi-Fi Control:
- Standard GS Series
MSZ-GS25/35/42/50/60/VFD - EcoCore AP Mini
MSZ-AP20VGD - EcoCore AP Classic Series
MSZ-AP25/35/42/50/60/71/80VGD(2) - Large Capacity AS90
MSZ-AS90VGD
Compatible Heat Pumps with Built-In Wi-Fi Control:
- EcoCore AP Plus Series
MSZ-AP25/35/42/50/60/71/80VGKD(2) - Designer EF Series
MSZ-EF25/35/42/50VGK(D)(B/S/W) - Black Diamond LN Series
MSZ-LN25/35/50/60VG(2/3)(R/V/B)
Wi-Fi Energy Monitoring is currently not compatible with RapidHeat KW Floor Consoles, MLZ Cassettes, S-Series, P-Series and OmniCore Multi Room Systems.
2) Ensure the Correct Heat Pump Model is Selected in the Unit Settings
To check, visit the control screen of the heat pump unit > Settings > Advanced settings
Note: If you change the selected model you will reset your Energy Monitoring history.
3) Run Your Heat Pump in Heating or Cooling Mode Until Data Shows
New models must run in heating or cooling mode multiple times, with 3-hour off periods between operations, over several hours. This process helps determine the available type of energy monitoring.
Great Tips
Energy Monitoring – Tips!
Energy montioring technology can help you take the next step in creating a more eco-friendly and efficient home.
Small changes you won’t even notice with a big impact.
A 1°C change in temperature can reduce energy use by up to 10%
- Because you can now easily see the set temperature based on energy usage, the decision-making is back in your hands.
- If you notice that your family has the heat pump up at 26°C in winter – consider reducing it down by 1°C or 2°C.
- Our research has shown that a 2°C change in the set temperature will not lead to any significant perceived feeling of loss of comfort but could equate to a gain in energy efficiency of up to 20%!
A set temperature that is too high will not make a room heat up quicker!
- Putting the temperature higher than the desired room temperature will not make a room heat up quicker in winter. It will in fact make your heat pump work harder trying to get to a temperature that is too high.
A set temperature that is too low will not make a room cool down quicker!
- The opposite also has the same effect on your energy consumption. Setting the temperature down much lower than the desired room temperature will not make a room cool quicker in summer. It will in fact make your heat pump/air conditioner work harder trying to get to a temperature that is too low.
An adjustment in temperature can improve health and wellbeing
- The Ministry of Social Development recommends the ideal room temperature for health and wellbeing be set between 19°C and 21°C.
- Specifically for bedrooms and a good night’s sleep, a temperature of 18°C is recommended. A room that is too hot can lead to restless sleep due to the fluctuation in your internal body temperature trying to regulate itself.
