Our score	SCORE7.5 / 10	SCORE7.6 / 10
Our take	Gree's premium tier in its smallest size: 11,500 BTU/h at 5°F and 30.0 SEER2. Contractor install only.	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 for	Amazon Sapphire titles show old SEER figures ("21.5 SEER" on the 24K); confirm the SAPxxHP230V1R32AH/AO model numbers. Gree's submittal prints lower 17°F figures than the certified NEEP ratings; go by NEEP. 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).
