Watch out forThe earlier Easy Pro (outdoor suffix 11516D-O or 23016D-O, 16 ft kit) carries 1 yr parts / 2 yr compressor and needs an authorized-dealer purchase. Some Amazon titles say "5th Gen" and "16ft Lineset"; read the suffix. Current version outdoor units end 11511DE-O (9k/12k) or 23011DE-O (18k/24k). The warranty's definition of parts excludes line sets, and the quick-connect valves are one-time install.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. The Amazon 18K listing model field reads SENE-12EL-16 while the part number is SENE-18EL-16.
