Model DIY-24-HP-C-230D25-O · DIY-24-HP-WMAH-230D25-O
SCORE6.9 / 10
Plenty of heat at 5°F for a bigger garage, but at -13°F it makes less than the 18k, so it is the wrong upsize if your coldest nights are the problem.

Before you buy
- MRCOOL's catalog ticks ENERGY STAR Cold Climate for this size; NEEP's record says ENERGY STAR yes, Cold Climate no. Check the rebate program's own list.
- 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.
