I ordered a 24k unit for the cottage. I put everything in place myself, but you must have a HVAC person come down and set up the lines.
It blows very cold air, cooled off my entire 1,300 sq/ft cottage.
I have not tested the heat aspect of it yet.
It’s not very loud at all, doesn’t rattle against the cottage at all, I can’t even really hear it on the inside at all.
I was comparing between all the different jest pumps, like Mr Cool, but went with this one because it was cheaper and still rated just as high.

Love it, it works great in winter and just as good in the summer! Fast shipping, thank you!

Very easy to install if you know what you are doing. Mini split units are easy to do. This unit draws between 3 and 4 amps per leg full blast under heavy load. 240 single phase. For the love of God please stop putting nm cable in conduit as I have seen in multiple split installs, it is against code. Use THWN or THHN that can be used in wet locations. Make sure you have a nice concentric flare tool, and a vacuum for the line set. This is very well made, super quiet and super efficient. Can’t say enough good about this unit. For the btu output it has I can’t believe how little power this heat pump uses. This i great for bumper days with hydronic heat and a combi boiler. It can help on risky short cycle days. And the air conditioner works like a charm. Make sure and maintain it well keeping the outside unit clean as well as the inside. Both should be cleaned at least yearly. It is huge on your wall so be prepared for that. Don’t skimp on your install quality and make sure you properly run the condensate drain. It is a nice looking unit, but please start making them black. 🙂 Thanks Sennville for a great split unit at a great price. I plan to install more of these in the future.

Installed the 24,000 BTU unit in a 800 square ft 2 storey cabin with 9 ½ foot ceiling up stairs , I must say the install did present some innovative challenges, on location of install line set run , and power supply ,location of outside condensor placement, and inside head unit location but over all I was able to accomplish with the help of a good friend quite easily.
I did purchase a Senville stand ,and line set cover to complete the install.
The stand I believe I ordered the incorrect size ( not enought product info when that occurred on sizing info between the 24000 BTU unit and the stand , got innovative and utilized some pressure treated lumber to be able to utilize it , the Cabin is several hours out of town and the install was happening ( no time for returns).
Electrical for the unit was pretty straight forward , I did acquire a correct power whip cable from Lowes for this install.
The final portion of the install due to location and and my lack of A/c tools and tdchinal knowledge, I had the vacum , leak test at all fittings and the pressure up of the system was completed by a field call to a local a/c guy $535.00 all in, left me with the 7yr warranty after he filled out the warranty card, and some reassurance all will be good .
he was surprised at the low cost of the unit as he is supplied by his vendor of these units his cost was $3500.00 just for the same unit (identical specs with the same Toshiba inverter , he is a licensed Lennox distributor in the area .
The Alexa App works well with the unit.
The A/C is excellent, quiet and efficient totally correct A/C climate in the cabin with bo blowing fan on you due to location of the install .
the heat pump (claims to be good to -30) does work very well but have not had it get that cold while we were there to test at these low temps but – 6 no problem .
We have an air tight for heating but this is a great addition as I no longer need to get up in the middle of the night to restoke the fire and creates a great ambient temp in the building wheather it is cold or hot outside and does run super quiet, we have had it now for over 1.5 years and no issues
With absolutely great results , don’t hesitate if you have any basic construction skills and knowledge this is a great project to undertake .
I am extremely satisfied how this a
all worked out and the savings and living comfort are tremendous 👌very easy on the power consumption due to 220 hook up and the variable speed inverter.

Got the Aura 24k BTU model couple months ago for cost-efficient heating in the Rocky Mountains.. Lowest outside has been is 10F, worked well though the defrost mode is a bit loud and it has to defrost often at those temperatures. I installed it in a yurt and it holds the temperature well even with the low R factor. I sized it with the R factor and high ceilings in mind, got the 24k unit for a 500 sq ft space. The best part is the electric bill hardly took a hit, though that might change as the winter progresses and we use it more. It still gets hot during the day and the cooling mode is excellent as well. My only complaint is the power and signal cable between the outside and indoor units was several feet shorter than the lineset, so if you’re pushing the limit of the provided 16′ lineset, do yourself a favor and order a 25′ cable. If you’re doing a DIY be very careful bending the pipes on these larger models, the larger diameter pipe is prone to kinking and the pipe is ruined if that happens. Happened to me on this install and had to buy a replacement lineset.

Well at first I was a little bit skeptical about this working. But now after today this product works great even at -37° C hear in Saskatchewan -46°C with the wind chill today and the unit is still producing heat!!!!
This unit is very cheap to operate.
I would recommend it to anybody that needs to replace their old furnace or looking for a cheaper way to heat their house.
Because the unit does not have to produce any heat it is very cheap to operate. All it does is transfer the temperature from outside to inside exactly like an air conditioner but in reverse.
So if you’re reading any reviews that are saying this unit is not working it’s only reviews from the gas company that they’re trying to boycott this heat pumps to keep themselves in business 🤷 Right

Having now had this unit for 5 months, I am going to share a couple thoughts. (24k btu model)
This unit was a replacement for an old whole-home A/C unit that quit working years ago, and would have cost $$$$ to fix… We have a 100+ year old smaller 2-story farmhouse, and with the cost of propane heat, I wanted to be able to supplement with something electric and very efficient. Enter the mini-split.
This was my first time installing a split-system unit, so while I didn’t find it difficult, it was somewhat new. Hardest part was making the hole in the wall for the hoses to run outside… You will want a strong friend to help with the installation of both units, as they are reasonably heavy and bulky. I reused the power feed from the old A/C, with a new disconnect switch, and the cement chunk the old one was on too. A dab of Nylog on the pipes, and yes, I did use a torque wrench on the nuts, and we were ready to evac the system. I already had a vacuum pump from working on auto A/C systems, so just needed the adaptor and the right gauge set. system vac-ed down and held great, released the freon and everything worked great!
This little unit kept our whole house nice and cool during the warmer weather, and has been doing very well now in the cooler weather too! Keeps our house nice and toasty down to at least 30 f outside, we will see how it does below that soon… Only complaint is the built in thermostat seems to “float” a bit more than expected, but simply turning the remote to “follow me” mode (using the temp sensor in the remote rather than the one in the head unit) makes it work quite nicely.
Highly recommended for the DIY-er with some prior A/C experience, and if you don’t mind not having the warranty… Will keep a pretty large space nice and cool, and drastically cut your gas bill when it’s not bitterly cold outside. Would definitely buy again!

Just finished installation of the 24BTU HF in a fully insulated 1500sqft garage in the Edmonton area. It seems to be working just fine so I’m happy so far. But I’m primarily interested in heating season so I’ll try to update my review after next winter. I found this project to be challenging and ‘well above average’ for the typical DIY (I am not an HVAC tech). I won’t go into all the details because you will quickly run into the same questions if you even consider taking on this project and the answers are posted everywhere. I’m just going to hit some key stuff that I think would be worth mentioning:
Overall, this install cost was 25% of the estimates I received from HVAC companies to complete the entire project. So, I am happy that I took this on and saved myself a bundle.
As others have mentioned, the warranty by Senville is voided if not partly completed by a licenced HVAC tech (lineset vacuum and refrigerant released). But IMO, the warranty has limited value because it does not include labour under any circumstances. Best case scenario from estimates I received from local HVAC companies were in the range of $500 (not unreasonable but keep in mind this was only for the lineset vacuuming and refrigerant release). Worst case scenario is having manufacturer defects: $500 for the initial callout (when we first learn there are defective parts) and I’m estimating $1000 for the second visit to install the warrantied parts. I figure that either way, the $500-$1500 would go a long ways towards buying tools, replacement parts, or a whole new unit if necessary.
Wall mount vs. ground mount: I read too many reviews from people who mounted on the wall and experienced noise/vibrations inside the building. Not everyone experienced this issue but I wasn’t willing to take the chance of wall mounting even though it would make the whole installation easier.
For peace of mind, I pressure tested the lines with nitrogen despite it not being mentioned in the installation manual. I purchased a small high pressure tank from a wine and beer store to keep my costs as low as possible. I also purchased an adapter to convert the valve from a CGA320 to CGA580.
Lineset: I ordered the shortest amount possible (16’), yet I only needed about 6’. According to the manual, I could only cut the lineset to a minimum length of 10’. So, what to do with the extra length? The choices were:
move the outside unit further away from the inside unit (not reasonable in my case),
snake the lineset down the wall (looks ugly),
hire HVAC to cut the line and reduce the refrigerant accordingly (this option defeats the point of a DIY), or
coil the extra lineset (I opted for the coil).
However, my research indicated that vertical coiling would create a problematic oil trap. This was not conclusive so I called Senville and they advised that vertical coiling would be “bad”. So, I coiled horizontally and hid the coils under a protective shed that I built to keep snow and rain off the unit. Definitely not ideal but I’ll get that adjusted if I ever need to call out an HVAC company for other reasons. In the end, my lineset has a mostly positive grade from the indoor unit down to the outdoor unit.
Some people also suggested a protective shed would make the unit more efficient due to less heat loss (from wind) during the defrost mode. It sounded like a reasonable theory to me, so I’m giving it a try since I wanted to keep snow and rain off the unit anyway.
Overall, a very challenging project, but doable for those who really like to save money (i.,e cheap like me) and want the gratification of doing it yourself.
Lastly, I contacted Senville on a few occasions (email and phone) and received responses each time. Kudos to them and their service.
[Jan 2024] Our local ambient temps dropped down to as low as -40C. I contacted Senville to learn whether it would cause damage if run below the unit’s rating (-30C). They advised that I should NOT run the unit below -30 ambient. So I turned it off at -30. Down to that temp, the unit ran great in Frost Protection mode. It didn’t seem to have any trouble holding temp (+8C) in my garage. Very happy. A good test for the HP. I only ran my forced air furnace for 5 days this winter.

When I read the reviews I decided to spend more and get the aura. Glad I did. It’s so quiet and it cranks out the cold air. Left it on turbo overnight after installation to knock down the 100 degree temp. The next day it didn’t get about 75. Texas heat is brutal. So far it’s managing the temp quite nicely. I would recommend this unit over it’s cheaper little brother.

I and my son installed the unit without much of any issues. It works great and is cheap to operate. I used it over the winter and now in the summer. Liked it so much I bought a 12k for the addition that was just added. House stays the same temperature and is so refreshing coming in from the outside heat . Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a mini split unit. The key is to get the right size for the space it is to heat or cool.
