The largest Sapphire cassette certifies at 23 SEER2 and 9 HSPF2, with 22,000 BTU of cooling and 24,000 of heating, rated to -22F. Against the Vireo version of the same size it gains half a point of SEER2 - a much smaller gap than at 18k.

At this capacity the install is the expensive part, not the unit. Ceiling structure, cavity depth, condensate lift and return-air path all have to be right. Get a contractor to confirm all four before you choose between this and the Vireo.

Purchase channel policy

GREE publishes an online/retail warranty-claim path for equipment purchased online, Home Depot, or Lowes rather than treating online purchase as a warranty voidance.

Warranty impact
Online purchase changes the claim path: routine parts use GREE's online claim form, while compressor failures and refrigerant leaks require tech-support confirmation before the online claim.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install the GREE Sapphire R32 24,000 BTU Four-Way Ceiling Cassette R-32 208/230V (CAS24HP230V1R32AH / SAP24HP230V1R32AO) myself, or do I need a pro?
GREE Sapphire R32 24,000 BTU Four-Way Ceiling Cassette R-32 208/230V (CAS24HP230V1R32AH / SAP24HP230V1R32AO) 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 GREE Sapphire R32 24,000 BTU Four-Way Ceiling Cassette R-32 208/230V (CAS24HP230V1R32AH / SAP24HP230V1R32AO) keep heating in a cold winter?
The AHRI/ENERGY STAR certification lists 17,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at 5F. Rated heating operation extends down to -22 F. Certified heating efficiency is 9 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 GREE Sapphire R32 24,000 BTU Four-Way Ceiling Cassette R-32 208/230V (CAS24HP230V1R32AH / SAP24HP230V1R32AO) need?
Published electrical requirements: 230 V voltage, 25.5 A minimum circuit ampacity, and 30 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 131 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 GREE Sapphire R32 24,000 BTU Four-Way Ceiling Cassette R-32 208/230V (CAS24HP230V1R32AH / SAP24HP230V1R32AO) carry?
The manufacturer publishes these warranty tiers: Base: 5 yr parts / 7 yr compressor (eligible residential system). Score uses Base.. Registration requirements and proof of qualified installation commonly affect coverage, so read the warranty terms before install day.
