Our takeA cooling-first unit that also heats: 21.2 SEER2 but only 6,600 BTU/h at 5°F, 55% of its rating. Buy it for mild winters with a licensed installer.Makes about as much heat at 5°F as a Livo 18K and heats to -22°F. The pick within Gree if this is a room's main heat.

Watch out forOur Amazon link is the 115V SENL-12CD; the 230V version (SENL-12CD/220) makes 8,000 BTU/h at 5°F. Amazon Leto listings don't state refrigerant; current R-454B pairings are SENL-xxCD-OL + SENL-xxCD-ILL, older R-410A ones end /OY + /IY. Senville's FAQ says no to owner installs, and the warranty requires a licensed HVAC contractor.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.
