Cooper & Hunter MIA 18,000 BTU Mini Split vs Gree Livo 18,000 BTU Mini Split Heat Pump

Both are 18,000 BTU single-zone wall-mount inverter heat pumps on 208/230V, so the choice comes down to efficiency, cold-weather heating and control. The Gree Livo is the stronger pick for most buyers: higher SEER2 and EER2, better HSPF2, and a heating range that reaches far lower outdoor temperatures. The Cooper & Hunter MIA is a solid alternative with a slightly quieter outdoor unit, a longer maximum line run and a 7-year compressor warranty, but its heating output and efficiency ratings trail the Gree.

• Choose the Cooper & Hunter MIA if your line set run is long, you want the quieter outdoor unit and a longer compressor warranty, and your winters rarely drop below 5°F.
• Choose the Gree Livo if you want the higher efficiency ratings and reliable heat pump operation in cold climates, down to well below freezing.
