Watch out forHyper = CH-RHP outdoor unit; the same Olivia head on a CH-RES/REL outdoor unit is the Regular, rated only to -13°F. Warranty requires a licensed HVAC technician and registration within 60 days with the installer license; the no-registration Out-of-Box warranty excludes online distributors. Sold on Amazon by a third-party seller.Senville's FAQ says no to owner installs; warranty registration asks for the installing company and invoice. Senville's site lists higher HSPF2 than the AHRI figures on NEEP; we use the certified numbers.
