Model O-ES-24-HP-C-230C-O1 · O-24-HP-WMAH-230C-O

Big output in the cold (24,200 BTU/h at 5°F), but it doesn't turn down any lower than the 18k on a mild day, so size it from a load calculation.

Before you buy

  • MrCool's submittal and install manual disagree on max line length (164 ft vs 213 ft); work to the manual that ships with the unit.
  • "E Star" and the O-ES prefix also appear on an older R-410A Olympus (-230B condensers); confirm R-454B and an outdoor model ending -230C-O1.
  • The Olympus listings on Amazon are the legacy R-410A Hyper Heat, not this unit.
  • MrCool's FAQ says an HVAC professional must install it; the warranty's softer "may be necessary" wording doesn't change that.
