Our scoreSCORE6.8 / 10SCORE6.9 / 10
Our takeUp to five heads and 36,000 Btu/h at 5°F, but a 10,000 Btu/h minimum overshoots small rooms on mild days. Pro install.The most heat in the line at -13°F, but it is a lot of unit for a garage, gives up efficiency and carries neither ENERGY STAR label.

Watch out forMOA outdoor units are listed as R-454B on Senville's pages and NEEP; NEEP lists the MOB units as R-410A, and an owner of an earlier SENA-28HF-MOA reports R-410A. Confirm the refrigerant on the label. Senville's FAQ says owner installs are not supported; the warranty certificate requires a licensed professional, and labor is never covered.MRCOOL also called its older R-410A 4th Gen DIY "E Star"; confirm R-454B and a model number of the form DIY-...D25-O. DIYS- is the cheaper DIY Select and EZPRO- is the Easy Pro; a listing that says "5th Gen" and "Select" is the Select. The manual says the line sets install once; reconnecting them, or the pipes at the outdoor unit, voids the warranty.
