Our takeStrong cold numbers for a 9k on paper, with 6,100 BTU/h still listed at -13°F. We didn't find it on Amazon.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 forThe Klimaire Entrada (KIWE/KOIE, -31X, R-32, 17 SEER2) is a flare-and-vacuum unit; the DIY title reads "23 SEER2 Quick Connect". The 4th Gen DIY used the same KIWQ/KOIQ prefixes at 19.0 SEER2; confirm the -45T suffix and R-454B. The warranty page allows DIY installs, but the warranty PDF says licensed contractors only and excludes line sets. Get the DIY terms in writing and register within 45 days. The manual says the EZ-Fast Connect fittings are one-time tightening.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).
