Our takeA 115V option for a room far from the panel, keeping 76% of its rating at 5°F. It still needs a licensed contractor for any warranty.Same NEEP heat as the 12K at every temperature with 33.3 SEER2; the efficiency pick if 9,000 Btu/h of cooling is enough.

Watch out forGree's submittal prints 8,100 BTU/h at 17°F, lower than the certified figure. The LIVO+ (LIVS..., R-410A, 16 SEER) and Livo Gen 3 / Gen 4 (4LIV, R-410A) are different units; confirm both model numbers end R32AO and R32AH. The 18K Amazon listing titled "Gree R32 LIVO+" reports the R-410A LIVS18HP230V1B; we don't link it. Gree's warranty applies only to installs by a state certified or licensed HVAC contractor, and claims are contractor-only.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. Senville's 22.0 HSPF2 for the 9K is far above its AHRI certificate (14.6).
