The \u003cstrong\u003eGREE X-Match R32\u003c\/strong\u003e at this capacity requires a circuit with a minimum ampacity of \u003cstrong\u003e26 A\u003c\/strong\u003e and maximum protection of \u003cstrong\u003e30 A\u003c\/strong\u003e, as indicated on the outdoor unit. On a 100 A panel that already powers a range, dryer, and water heater, this demand is not always available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the first thing we check, even before discussing ducts. An upgrade to 200 A represents a real expense, and it should appear in the quote rather than on a surprise invoice on the day of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Certified Figures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAHRI Certificate 215413015, ENERGY STAR listing 4514322.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSEER2 of 18.5\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEER2 of 11.25\u003c\/strong\u003e in cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2 of 8.5\u003c\/strong\u003e in heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24,000 BTU\/h, COP of 2.89\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-15 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20,400 BTU\/h, COP of 1.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown to \u003cstrong\u003e-25 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16,900 BTU\/h, COP of 1.62\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Detail That Matters\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR certified, but without the cold-climate designation\u003c\/strong\u003e, and its certification stops at \u003cstrong\u003e-25 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than -30 °C. This is not an administrative detail: it means that no performance is certified below -25 °C, so we will not promise any. If you are looking for a unit whose capacity is guaranteed at -30 °C, the Crossover and Extreme product lines are the ones to consider, up to 24,000 BTUs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe say this plainly because the distinction is often misrepresented in the market, and a customer who discovers this limitation after installation is right to be unhappy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Capacity Really Gives You\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e24,000 BTU\/h at -8 °C with a COP of 2.89\u003c\/strong\u003e: this is the best capacity-efficiency combination in the entire line at that temperature, which is also when a Quebec home spends the most hours in winter. For a large single-story home, a bungalow with a finished basement, or a commercial space, this is the core of the sizing calculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e7.40 Pints of Water per Hour\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is nearly twice the dehumidification capacity of the 24,000 BTU model. In a large space or basement, this addresses much of what drives people to buy a portable dehumidifier: musty odors, the clammy feeling in June, and cold surfaces that bead with moisture. The ducted system does this continuously, without a floor-standing appliance or a tank to empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAirflow, and an Anomaly We Are Pointing Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maximum airflow is \u003cstrong\u003e883 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e. That is \u003cem\u003eless\u003c\/em\u003e than the 1,030 CFM of the 24,000 BTU model, despite its 6,000 BTU greater capacity. This is the figure published by GREE, and we are reproducing it as is rather than quietly correcting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe practical consequence: this unit produces a greater temperature difference between return air and supply air at a lower airflow. The \u003cstrong\u003eductwork\u003c\/strong\u003e must be designed with this reality in mind, and the number of grilles cannot be determined from the BTU capacity. We calculate the distribution based on the actual airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAcoustics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndoor unit: \u003cstrong\u003e36 to 45 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e, noticeably higher than lower-capacity models. This is not a unit to install above a bedroom without sound treatment: use a mechanical room, hallway ceiling, or basement crawlspace, with acoustic insulation on the first section of ductwork. Outdoor unit: \u003cstrong\u003e62 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndoor unit: \u003cstrong\u003e35.43 x 25.79 x 11.42 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e - more compact than the 24,000 BTU unit, which is surprising and can sometimes make integration easier. Outdoor unit: \u003cstrong\u003e39.38 x 16.81 x 29.38 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The dimensions above were converted from the manufacturer's millimetre measurements, which are consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFinancial Assistance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is eligible for Hydro-Québec's \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e program in the amount of \u003cstrong\u003e$1,200\u003c\/strong\u003e for an owner of an existing home. The lack of a cold-climate designation makes it ineligible for the program's bonus, which explains the lower amount compared with lower-capacity units.
