Best forLarge open rooms in mild climates that want a 2-ton wall unit with a 7-year compressor term.
Overview
The Livo 24k is a 2-ton wall unit at 19 SEER2, 8.5 HSPF2 and 11.9 EER2, about $2,430 for the system. Gree states 850 to 1,100 sq ft, and lists heating operation to -13°F and cooling to 0°F. Indoor sound runs 36 to 51 dBA and the outdoor unit 58 dBA, which is loud enough that placement matters against a bedroom window. The Livo is Gree's value line, and at this size the price gap that favors it at 9k and 12k is gone: Gree's own Vireo 24k and Pioneer's Diamante Pro 24k both offer a cold-climate story. It fits a large open room or a small whole-house ductless setup in a mild climate.
