Best forMild-climate bedrooms and offices that want a distributor-backed R-32 unit with a 7-year compressor term.
The Livo is Gree's entry R-32 wall unit, below the Vireo and Sapphire. The 9k pair is rated 20.5 SEER2, 8.8 HSPF2 and 12.5 EER2 with 9,100 BTU cooling and 10,000 BTU heating, and it is ENERGY STAR certified. Gree lists heating operation down to -13°F and cooling from 0°F, the outdoor unit weighs 58 lb and runs at 51 dBA, and the indoor unit as low as 24 dB. The system price of about $1,321 is above LG's Mega 9k at $1,143, so the Livo's pitch is the 7-year compressor term and the -13°F operating limit, not price. An 8.8 HSPF2 says to treat the heating limit as survival range, not as full-capacity heat.
At 5°F it still makes 76% of its rated heat, according to the certified NEEP listing for this pairing. Gree rates it to keep running down to -13°F.
Pairing: LIV09HP230V1R32AO with LIV09HP230V1R32AH. Checked October 8, 2026 on NEEP's ccASHP list; a different head or condenser posts different numbers.
NEEP certifies 10,000 BTU at 47°F but only 7,600 BTU at 5°F, with a COP of 1.94. Gree lists operation down to -13°F, yet with an 8.8 HSPF2 that is survival range, not full-capacity heat. Size it with the 5°F figure in mind.
It is listed for about 350 sq ft, with 9,100 BTU cooling. That suits a bedroom or small office. The indoor unit runs as low as 24 dB.
The Livo is $1,321 against $1,143 for the Mega, and rates 20.5 SEER2 against 21. The Livo's case is the 7-year compressor term and the -13°F operating limit. The Mega has the longer 10-year term and cannot heat below 5°F.
Gree points buyers to a GREE Select contractor. The flared line set is not included and needs nitrogen testing and evacuation. Warranty is 7-year compressor and 5-year parts with online registration.
