Our takeThe largest DIY Select, at 16.5 SEER2 with no published cold-weather figures we can cite. We'd look at the DIY 5th Gen or Easy Pro 24k instead.Out-heats the bigger Livo 30K at 5°F and still lists 17,000 BTU/h at -22°F. Buy it when this is the main heat in a cold climate and a licensed contractor is installing it.

Watch out forMRCOOL's naming is inconsistent: its product data says "DIY Select 1st Gen" while the warranty is titled "5th Generation DIY Select Series". A "5th Gen" listing that says "Select" is this cheaper line. Model numbers start DIYS- (outdoor ends A11-O, wall unit A13-O); DIY- ...D25-O is the DIY 5th Gen. ENERGY STAR status conflicts: MRCOOL's catalog says certified, MRCOOL's product data and NEEP say no.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.
