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.

Install difficulty

Complex professional install
  • Electrical: 230V; MCA 23 A; breaker/fuse 35 A.
  • Line set: connection type not sourced; max 328 ft.
  • 3-zone condenser; indoor-head matching and branch layout are part of the job.

Availability and price context

Structured ratings
Certification: ENERGY STAR certified, ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified and AHRI cold-climate designated. Refrigerant: current low-GWP R-32. Minimum heating ambient: -22 F.

Strengths

  • Cold-climate designated with strong 5F heat: 27000 of its 30000 BTU 47F output.
  • Three zones from one outdoor unit and one 208/230V circuit, EER2 13.6 on R-32.
  • ENERGY STAR certified at a value price point.

Weaknesses

  • Three-zone total capacity is shared; size to the condenser, not three full rooms.
  • Value-brand dealer/service network is thinner than the majors'.

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.
