Our takeThe MIA size we'd pick for a garage that sees real winter: 17,000 BTU/h at 5°F and the only MIA on ENERGY STAR's cold-climate list. Licensed install required.Makes less at 5°F than the 18K (20,000 vs 22,600) and NEEP files it as centrally ducted; the least-documented Elite size.

Watch out forENERGY STAR still lists an older MIA generation under a different model format; confirm CH-RLS...MIA and R454B on the nameplate. C&H's 2025 leaflet ticks "Energy Star for Cold Climate" under every size, but only the 24K is in ENERGY STAR's dataset. C&H paperwork disagrees on whether the line set is in the box; confirm with the seller. The warranty applies only to installs by a licensed HVAC technician registered within 60 days with the installer's license number.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. No published max line length for the 24K; Senville's page lists 24.0 SEER2 / 11.0 EER2 vs 25.0 / 14.0 on NEEP.
