It is also the model in the series offering the highest cold-weather heating capacity, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP of 1.95 at -15 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e, higher than that of the other three sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts ratings are \u003cstrong\u003e25 SEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e9.5 HSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e14.2 EER2\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e certified with the \u003cstrong\u003ecold-climate designation\u003c\/strong\u003e, and qualifies for a \u003cstrong\u003e$3,120 LogisVert rebate\u003c\/strong\u003e, the highest in the POLARIS range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e22,000 or 24,000 BTU? The two figures explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is sold as a 24,000 BTU unit, and its technical data sheet indicates a cooling capacity of \u003cstrong\u003e22,000 BTU\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e under standardized test conditions. Both figures are accurate, and it is worth understanding why before comparing quotes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24,000 refers to the commercial designation for the size, which places the unit within a product range. The 22,000 is the capacity measured at 95 °F according to the test method. This is the second figure Hydro-Québec displays in its search tool under the heading nominal capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn heating mode, the capacity reaches \u003cstrong\u003e24,000 BTU\/h at 8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e. A buyer who compares only the cooling figure may therefore assume the unit is weaker than it really is. We prefer to explain this distinction in advance rather than have a customer discover it on a technical data sheet after signing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe widest modulation range in the series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn cooling mode, the unit modulates from \u003cstrong\u003e3,410 to 28,660 BTU\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e. This range is remarkable for a wall-mounted unit of this size: the minimum output drops lower than that of the 18,000 BTU model, while the maximum output is significantly higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the occupant, this means a unit that maintains a stable temperature during the shoulder seasons without constantly shutting off, while retaining enough capacity for a heatwave in a room with extensive glazing. The airflow follows the same principle, ranging from \u003cstrong\u003e383 to 736 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e26,000 BTU at -8 °C\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeating capacity at \u003cstrong\u003e8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24,000 BTU\/h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeating capacity at \u003cstrong\u003e-8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cstrong\u003e26,000 BTU\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeating capacity at \u003cstrong\u003e-15 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20,400 BTU\/h, COP of \u003cstrong\u003e1.95\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeating operation down to \u003cstrong\u003e-30 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the highest heating capacity we offer on a single-zone wall-mounted unit in the KINGHOME catalogue. At -8 °C, the unit delivers 26,000 BTU\/h: enough to cover the full load of a well-insulated ground floor measuring several hundred square feet, without supplemental heat, during most of the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA COP of 1.95 at -15 °C means that even in this cold, each kilowatt-hour consumed produces nearly two kilowatt-hours of heat. Compared with an electric baseboard heater, whose ratio remains fixed at 1, the difference is directly reflected on the bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA 5\/8-inch gas line and an additional charge of 0.4 ounces per foot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis size differs from the other three in its piping: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 inch for the liquid line and 5\/8 inch for the gas line\u003c\/strong\u003e, compared with 1\/2 inch on the smaller sizes. The higher refrigerant flow requires a larger diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two practical consequences. First, the equipment is not interchangeable with that of an 18,000 BTU model: an existing 1\/2-inch line left in place during a replacement is not suitable. Second, the additional charge is \u003cstrong\u003e0.4 ounces per foot\u003c\/strong\u003e beyond the \u003cstrong\u003e25 precharged feet\u003c\/strong\u003e, twice that of the other models. On a 60-foot run, this represents an amount of refrigerant that must be weighed, not estimated. The factory charge is \u003cstrong\u003e52.9 ounces of R-32\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the allowable line length is up to \u003cstrong\u003e131 feet\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA 24,000 BTU project must be prepared before purchase\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this size, three checks determine whether the project is simple or complex. They are carried out on-site before the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA 30 A circuit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power supply is \u003cstrong\u003e208-230 V single-phase\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a \u003cstrong\u003eminimum circuit ampacity of 22 A\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003emaximum protection of 30 A\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is the highest requirement in the POLARIS series, and it often changes the nature of the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dedicated 30 A breaker requires appropriately sized wiring and available space in the electrical panel. In a 1960s home still equipped with a 100 A service, with an electric water heater, stove, and dryer, the remaining capacity must be calculated. We perform this check before confirming a price, because discovering the issue on installation day delays the entire project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA 44-inch indoor unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe indoor unit measures \u003cstrong\u003e43.9 x 9.8 x 13.1 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is significantly longer than those of the other sizes, and the chosen wall must accommodate it without making the room feel visually cramped or blocking the airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere must be clearance on both sides, open space above, and nothing obstructing the air outlet below. A nearby door frame, a tall bookcase, or a wall corner that is too narrow are real constraints for this size. The outdoor unit measures \u003cstrong\u003e37.7 x 15.8 x 26.0 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e, weighs \u003cstrong\u003e92.6 pounds\u003c\/strong\u003e, and requires an elevated support designed according to the area's snow accumulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo litres of moisture per hour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDehumidification reaches \u003cstrong\u003e2 litres per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e, the highest in the series. This is a real advantage in large ground-floor or basement spaces where summer discomfort comes as much from humidity as from temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn return, this requires a properly designed condensate drain. Two litres per hour at peak is a volume that leaves no room for an insufficient slope or a pinched pipe behind a wall. We check drainage at startup and recommend inspecting the drain before each cooling season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e$3,120 LogisVert rebate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is listed in the \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e program with assistance of \u003cstrong\u003e$3,120\u003c\/strong\u003e for an existing-home owner, under \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR ID 4663298\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAHRI 218640282\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The manufacturer's warranty distinguishes between the two applications. In residential use, it covers \u003cstrong\u003ethe compressor and parts for 12 years\u003c\/strong\u003e on registered models. In commercial applications, it is \u003cstrong\u003e5 or 7 years\u003c\/strong\u003e depending on the conditions.
