Our takeThe one Easy Pro size we'd consider for a garage that needs real heat: 17,000 BTU/h at 5°F, a little ahead of the DIY 5th Gen 24k, on a 230V circuit. You give up efficiency and warranty to get it.For a big open zone in a cold climate with a contractor doing the install: 24,200 BTU/h at 5°F. Its high minimum output rules out single rooms.

Watch out forAn Amazon "Easy Pro Series" 24k listing gives part number EZPRO-24-HP-23016-MPN, the old 16 ft model. The 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 24k page shows a ceiling-cassette spec table, so these figures come from NEEP only. The Amazon 24k listing (SENA/24HF) doesn't state refrigerant; confirm the model before you pay. The Amazon Aura listings don't state refrigerant. The 12k listing (SENA-12HF-16) shows a 25.5 efficiency figure that matches the older R-410A Aura and a 2 yr parts / 7 yr compressor warranty field; confirm model and refrigerant before you pay. Current R-454B wall pairings are SENA-xxHF-OG + SENA-xxHF-IGG; older R-410A pairings end /OQ + /IQ. Senville's site lists higher HSPF2 and 47°F heat than the AHRI figures on NEEP; we use the certified numbers. Senville's FAQ says no to owner installs, and the warranty requires a licensed HVAC contractor.
