Before you buy
- 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.
