Our takeThe Easy Pro we'd pick for a bedroom: the line's highest SEER2 and its only ENERGY STAR size. It holds 62% of its rating at 5°F, so it is a mild-climate heater.Same heat as the Aura 12k on NEEP at every temperature, with 27.4 SEER2. Pro install only, and we don't have a verified listing for this size.

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.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.
