Mini Split 24,000 BTU Gree Vireo 22.5 SEER2 WiFi Heat Pump Ceiling Cassette System VIR24HP230V1R32AO, CAS24HP230V1R32AH
This two-ton package is the turning point in Gree's single zone cassette line. The CAS24HP230V1R32AH moves to the larger 33-inch cassette body and the GREETF06 grille, and the VIR24HP230V1R32AO condenser jumps to a 131 foot maximum line length with 82 feet of allowable rise. Efficiency climbs back to 22.5 SEER2 with 22,000 BTU/h of rated cooling and 24,000 BTU/h of heating at 47°F, holding 16,800 BTU/h all the way down to 5°F. Wireless remote, XE72-44/E wired controller, decorative grille, and factory WiFi are all part of the system.
Is a 24,000 BTU Ceiling Cassette System the Right Size?
Two tons of capacity typically covers something in the neighborhood of 800 to 1,100 square feet. At this size the question usually stops being "will one unit cover the room" and becomes "where can the condenser physically go." That is where this system separates itself from the smaller Vireo cassettes: the 131 foot line length limit and 82 foot elevation allowance mean the condenser can sit on a roof, around a corner of the building, or at the far end of a service alley instead of directly outside the conditioned space.
The larger 33-5/64 inch cassette also changes the install geometry. It needs a wider ceiling opening than the 22-inch models but is actually shallower at 9-29/64 inches, so it can work in a tight plenum where the smaller-but-deeper cassette will not. Airflow steps up to 488 to 647 CFM while indoor sound stays in a narrow 38 to 44 dB(A) band, which suits open commercial rooms and large residential great rooms. Ceiling height, insulation, glazing, occupancy, and equipment load all affect the final selection.
Ideal for: Great rooms and large open living areas, restaurant dining rooms, retail sales floors, medical and dental office suites, veterinary lobbies, gyms and fitness studios, and light commercial spaces of roughly 800 to 1,100 square feet.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 30,000 BTU Gree Livo 22.5 SEER2 Ceiling Cassette System, which moves the outdoor side to the Livo R32 platform. If a wall-mounted head suits the space better, compare the 24,000 BTU Gree Vireo 26 SEER2 wall mount system.
Recommended room sizes are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, ceiling height, window area, ambient conditions, occupancy, and internal heat loads. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Two changes matter most when quoting this size against the 18K. First, the grille is the larger GREETF06, not the GREETF05, so a job carrying spares for the smaller cassettes needs a different panel on the shelf. Second, the gas line grows to 5/8 inch and the circuit to 30A maximum overcurrent protection. In exchange, the allowable line run roughly doubles and the system gains 2.4 SEER2 over the 18K package.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size area does the 24,000 BTU cassette system typically cover?
Roughly 800 to 1,100 square feet as a general guideline. At two tons the deciding factors are usually ceiling height and internal load rather than floor area alone, so a load calculation is worth the time on commercial jobs.
What changes physically between the 18K and 24K cassette?
The cassette body grows from 22-7/16 inches square to 33-5/64 inches square, but gets shallower — 9-29/64 inches deep versus 10-7/16. The grille changes from GREETF05 to GREETF06, and the gas line grows from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch.
How far can the VIR24HP230V1R32AO sit from the cassette?
Up to 131 feet of refrigerant line with a maximum elevation change of 82 feet. That is roughly double the 66 foot limit on the 9K through 18K Vireo condensers and is often the reason this size gets specified on rooftop or remote-condenser installations.
Which decorative grille ships with the 24K system?
The GREETF06, the larger of the two panels in this line. It is included with the system, so there is no separate grille to order alongside it.
How well does this system heat in cold weather?
The Vireo condenser is rated for heating operation down to -22°F ambient, and capacity holds at 19,400 BTU/h at 17°F and 16,800 BTU/h at 5°F. HSPF2 is 9.0.
Is a separate condensate pump required with the CAS24HP230V1R32AH?
No. The cassette has an internal condensate drain pump with a Sentry float switch built in, so no external pump kit is needed for a normal above-ceiling drain routing.
