When the top of the wall is the wrong place (under a window, under a sloped ceiling), a unit set low can take over. Senville sells two very different bodies: a compact 12,000 BTU/h console and a wider body shared by the 18,000 and 24,000. Here are their dimensions, what Senville does and does not say about wall or ceiling mounting, and, certificates in hand, their heat in deep cold and their LogisVert amount.

This page answersFor a room where a low unit suits better than a wall unit high on the wall (under a window, under a sloped ceiling): Senville’s two console bodies, what Senville does or does not say about wall or ceiling mounting, and what each one is worth, per its certificates, at −15 and −30 °C and for LogisVert.
The 12,000 console and the 18,000 / 24,000 body, to the same scale
Both front views are drawn to the same scale from the dimensions Senville prints. For the 18,000 and 24,000, Senville gives a 235 mm height, the smallest of the three figures, without saying whether the unit sits flat or on its edge: the drawing shows both readings. The sill line is an example for scale, not a Senville value.

02 · What Senville says about mounting
Floor, wall, ceiling: Senville’s own sentences, as written
Seven Senville and NEEP quotes, word for word, and one finding, with what each one actually says about mounting.
“18000 BTU Floor Mounted Mini Split Air Conditioner - Heat Pump - SENA/18HF/IF”
senville.ca, 18,000 page title; the 24,000 is named the same way

“12000 BTU Climatiseur Montage au Sol - Thermopompe - SENA/12HF/IF”

Nothing else
None of the three senville.ca pages mentions the wall, the ceiling or convertible mounting.

What we take from it: Senville sells all three for the floor. For the 12,000, no Senville document says it can go anywhere but the floor. For the 18,000 and 24,000, the only text that does, the manual, says wall or ceiling; until a Senville product page confirms it, a ceiling installation has to be cleared with Senville before quoting.

03 · Console or wall unit
At 12,000 BTU/h, the console against the AURA wall unit that shares its outdoor unit
The certificates pair the SENA-12HF-OG outdoor unit with two indoor units sold here: the SENA-12HF-IFG console and the SENA-12HF-IGG AURA wall unit. Same outdoor unit, two ways of heating the room.
Same outdoor unit, both certified down to −30 °C. At −8.3 °C, the AURA wall unit gives a rated 12,000 BTU/h and the console 9,800, hence a higher LogisVert amount ($1,440 vs $1,176); at −30 °C, it also keeps more maximum heat (5,900 vs 4,800). The console has the better HSPF2 region V (8.3 vs 8) and the better COP at −15 °C (1.88 vs 1.80).

Warranty terms
04 · The three consoles
Certified figures, and the right certificate
One column per console we sell, with no best-figure mark since the sizes differ. All three are ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified and on the LogisVert list.
On October 14, 2026, the senville.ca SENA/18HF/IF and SENA/24HF/IF pages linked AHRI certificates 215735302 and 215735303, those of the ducted units of the same size. The SENA-18HF-OG + SENA-18HF-IFG and SENA-24HF-OG + SENA-24HF-IFG console pairs carry numbers 215735309 and 215735310 at ENERGY STAR, NEEP and Hydro-Québec: those are the ones we show. The Senville-hosted file “SENA-12HF-IFG-AHRI.pdf” actually shows the ducted 12,000 certificate; no console certificate could be read on senville.com. The 24,000 cools a rated 22,000 BTU/h and the 18,000 17,000, per their certificates. Line lengths: manual QS003I-DL(R454B), which does not cover the 12,000. Senville warranty for all three: 10 years on the compressor, 5 years on parts.
Questions
Consoles: mounting, height, codes, moisture, outdoor unit
Can a Senville console be fixed to the wall or hung from the ceiling?
Senville sells all three for the floor, and no product page says these models mount on a wall or ceiling. The only Senville text that does is installation manual QS003I-DL(R454B), linked from the pages: “This air conditioner can be installed on the wall or suspended from the ceiling.” It covers the 18,000 and 24,000 (up to 60,000), not the 12,000, and does not mention the floor. For the 12,000, nothing is published; for the 18,000 and 24,000, a ceiling installation has to be cleared with Senville.
senville.ca SENA/12HF/IF, SENA/18HF/IF and SENA/24HF/IF pages, October 14, 2026; manual QS003I-DL(R454B), re-read October 26, 2026.
What room height does an 18,000 or 24,000 console need?
At least 2.2 m (7.3 ft), per the installation manual for the 18,000 and 24,000, which also shows a recommended clearance of at least 1,000 mm. The same manual asks for a drain slope of 1/100 or more and an outlet 50 mm or more above the ground. Senville does not publish these limits for the 12,000 console.

Which codes should you look for on a Senville console?
senville.ca sells the systems as SENA/12HF/IF, SENA/18HF/IF and SENA/24HF/IF. The indoor units are the SENA-12HF-IFG, SENA-18HF-IFG and SENA-24HF-IFG, paired with the SENA-12HF-OG, SENA-18HF-OG and SENA-24HF-OG outdoor units. Here the sources agree: the help centre’s “Floor-Mounted Units” list gives exactly these three IFG codes, the certified ones.
Question published by Senville: “What are the wall mount, cassette, duct, and floor unit model numbers?”, help centre, modified October 8, 2026, read October 26, 2026; ENERGY STAR and NEEP.
How much moisture does a console remove when cooling?
Senville prints 1.48 L/h for the 12,000, 1.73 L/h for the 18,000 and 2.73 L/h for the 24,000 (“Moisture Removal”), without stating the test conditions. They are spec-table values, not certified ones.
senville.ca SENA/12HF/IF, SENA/18HF/IF and SENA/24HF/IF pages, October 14, 2026.
Does the 12,000 console use the same outdoor unit as a wall unit?
Yes, according to the certificates: the SENA-12HF-OG outdoor unit is certified with the SENA-12HF-IFG console (AHRI 215735308) as well as with the SENA-12HF-IGG AURA wall unit (AHRI 215735296). The senville.com page for that outdoor unit only names wall, cassette and ducted indoor units; we rely on the certified pair. The table above compares the two.
