The standard Astoria 24k is a cooling-strong unit - its 14 EER2 is efficient right when the summer load peaks - sized for a large temperate-climate space that leans on air conditioning. It heats decently for a non-hyper 2-ton head (19,600 BTU even at 5F) but does taper as the cold deepens.

If cooling leads and winters are moderate, it is a well-priced, efficient fit. In a hard-freeze climate, reach for the Astoria Hyper 24k instead. Professional install recommended.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install the Cooper & Hunter Astoria 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (CH-RH24MASTWM-230VI / CH-RES24-230VO) myself, or do I need a pro?
Cooper & Hunter Astoria 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (CH-RH24MASTWM-230VI / CH-RES24-230VO) is built for professional installation: the line set must be flared, evacuated, and charged, which requires EPA-certified refrigerant handling. Installing it outside the manufacturer's requirements can void the warranty, so budget for a qualified HVAC installer.
Will the Cooper & Hunter Astoria 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (CH-RH24MASTWM-230VI / CH-RES24-230VO) keep heating in a cold winter?
The AHRI/ENERGY STAR certification lists 19,600 BTU/h of heating capacity at 5F. Rated heating operation extends down to -13 F. Certified heating efficiency is 11.7 HSPF2. Match those numbers against your climate's design temperature - in cold regions, output at 5F matters far more than the nameplate capacity measured at 47F.
What electrical circuit does the Cooper & Hunter Astoria 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (CH-RH24MASTWM-230VI / CH-RES24-230VO) need?
Published electrical requirements: 230 V voltage, 24.9 A minimum circuit ampacity, and 25 A maximum breaker or fuse sizing. Confirm the final circuit against the unit nameplate and local code with a licensed electrician.
How far can the outdoor unit be from the indoor head?
The published maximum line-set length is 164 ft. The outdoor unit's factory charge covers up to 25 ft of line; longer runs need added refrigerant. Measure the planned routing before ordering.
What warranty does the Cooper & Hunter Astoria 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (CH-RH24MASTWM-230VI / CH-RES24-230VO) carry?
The manufacturer publishes these warranty tiers: Registered: 5 yr parts / 7 yr compressor (standard registration/installation terms). Score uses Registered.. Registration requirements and proof of qualified installation commonly affect coverage, so read the warranty terms before install day.
