Mitsubishi Electric vs Mitsubishi Heavy Duty: Different Companies, Different ACs
They share the name but they are separate companies. Which one should you actually buy in Thailand?
By เจิดพงษ์ มากกูล1 min read

Common confusion: Mitsubishi Electric (三菱電機) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (三菱重工) are different companies that share a brand mark and a Japanese conglomerate origin. Both make air conditioners. They are not the same product.
Mitsubishi Electric — the everyday-home pick
Mitsubishi Heavy Duty (Heavy Industries) — the workhorse pick
Quick decision
Key warning
Many sellers label both as just "Mitsubishi" and assume buyers know the difference. Check the model number and the formal company name on the warranty card before paying.
