Cosmo / Cosmo Multi-Zone
Cosmo 28.4k R-32 208/230V 3-Zone Mini-Split
The Cosmo Multi-Zone 3-zone drives three rooms from one 208/230V outdoor unit on R-32, ENERGY STAR certified and AHRI cold-climate designated, with a certified nominal SEER2 of 21 (EER2 13.6, HSPF2 10). That nominal is the all-non-ducted certified figure and depends on the heads you attach.
Heating stays strong in the cold: rated 30000 BTU at 47F, 28000 at 17F, and 27000 at 5F - roughly 90 percent of its 47F output at 5F. Cosmo is a value brand sold through TOSOT Direct (TOSOT/Gree family), professionally installed and priced by quote.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I install the Cosmo Multi-Zone 3-Zone 28,400 BTU R-32 208/230V (MZ-COSMO30/O) myself, or do I need a pro?
- Cosmo Multi-Zone 3-Zone 28,400 BTU R-32 208/230V (MZ-COSMO30/O) is built for professional installation: the line set must be flared, evacuated, and charged, which requires EPA-certified refrigerant handling. Installing it outside the manufacturer's requirements can void the warranty, so budget for a qualified HVAC installer.
- Will the Cosmo Multi-Zone 3-Zone 28,400 BTU R-32 208/230V (MZ-COSMO30/O) keep heating in a cold winter?
- The manufacturer publishes 27,000 BTU/h of heating output at 5F. Rated heating operation extends down to -22 F. Certified heating efficiency is 10 HSPF2. Match those numbers against your climate's design temperature - in cold regions, output at 5F matters far more than the nameplate capacity measured at 47F.
- What electrical circuit does the Cosmo Multi-Zone 3-Zone 28,400 BTU R-32 208/230V (MZ-COSMO30/O) need?
- Published electrical requirements: 230 V voltage, 23 A minimum circuit ampacity, and 35 A maximum breaker or fuse sizing. Confirm the final circuit against the unit nameplate and local code with a licensed electrician.
- How far can the outdoor unit be from the indoor head?
- The published maximum line-set length is 328 ft. Longer runs than the included set allows typically mean added refrigerant and a pro visit, so measure the planned routing before ordering.
- What warranty does the Cosmo Multi-Zone 3-Zone 28,400 BTU R-32 208/230V (MZ-COSMO30/O) carry?
- The manufacturer publishes these warranty tiers: Standard: 5 yr parts / 5 yr compressor (published Cosmo warranty terms). Registration requirements and proof of qualified installation commonly affect coverage, so read the warranty terms before install day.
