The standard-outdoor CH-RH24MCT cassette is the efficiency star of the single-zone cassette range: 22 SEER2 with a full 24,000 BTU of cooling and 25,000 of heating, rated to -13F with 10.5 HSPF2.

At this capacity a couple of points of SEER2 is meaningful money over a decade, and this unit has the best cooling figure of any Cooper & Hunter cassette. The compromise is winter: 10.5 HSPF2 and -13F are the weakest heating credentials in the single-zone cassette line-up.

Structured ratings
Certification: ENERGY STAR certified and AHRI cold-climate designated. Refrigerant: current low-GWP R-454B. Minimum heating ambient: -13 F.

Strengths

  • 22 SEER2 - the best cooling efficiency of any single-zone cassette here.
  • Full 24,000 BTU cooling and 25,000 BTU heating.
  • One head covers a large open space cleanly.

Weaknesses

  • 10.5 HSPF2 and -13F are the weakest heating credentials in the single-zone cassette range.
  • Heavy head; ceiling structure, cavity depth and condensate lift all need checking.
  • Professional install only, and Cooper & Hunter service quality varies by dealer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install the Cooper & Hunter 4-Way Ceiling Cassette 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (CH-RH24MCT / CH-RES24-230VO) myself, or do I need a pro?
Cooper & Hunter 4-Way Ceiling Cassette 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (CH-RH24MCT / 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 4-Way Ceiling Cassette 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (CH-RH24MCT / CH-RES24-230VO) keep heating in a cold winter?
The manufacturer publishes 18,500 BTU/h of heating output at 5F. Rated heating operation extends down to -13 F. Certified heating efficiency is 10.5 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 4-Way Ceiling Cassette 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (CH-RH24MCT / 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, and the included line set comes pre-charged for 25 ft. Longer runs than the included set allows typically mean added refrigerant and a pro visit, so measure the planned routing before ordering.
What warranty does the Cooper & Hunter 4-Way Ceiling Cassette 24,000 BTU R-454B 208/230V (CH-RH24MCT / CH-RES24-230VO) carry?
The manufacturer publishes these warranty tiers: Standard: 5 yr parts / 7 yr compressor (licensed-technician installation and registration terms). Registration requirements and proof of qualified installation commonly affect coverage, so read the warranty terms before install day.
