Mini Split 30,000 BTU Gree Livo 22 SEER2 Heat Pump System LIV30HP230V1R32AO, LIV30HP230V1R32AH
This is the efficiency champion of the entire Livo R32 series. The LIV30HP230V1R32AO condenser paired with the LIV30HP230V1R32AH air handler achieves 22.0 SEER2 and 9.0 HSPF2 — the highest seasonal cooling and heating ratings Gree publishes for this line, and it does it at two and a half tons. Rated 30,000 BTU/h cooling at 95°F and 30,000 BTU/h heating at 47°F, the inverter compressor turns down remarkably far, all the way to 3,000 BTU/h in cooling, giving it a 10-to-1 modulation range that very few single-zone systems can match. A wireless LCD remote is included and Wi-Fi is standard.
Two and a Half Tons With Ten-to-One Turndown
The reason this model earns 22 SEER2 is that enormous modulation range. A system that can drop from 36,000 BTU/h at full tilt down to 3,000 BTU/h spends the overwhelming majority of the cooling season running slowly and quietly, which is precisely where an inverter is most efficient. It also means the 30,000 BTU capacity is there for design-day conditions without penalizing comfort on mild days — the usual downside of specifying a large head.
That said, capacity this large belongs in genuinely large or hard-working spaces. Volume, glazing, roof and wall exposure, ventilation air, occupancy, and process or equipment heat should all be quantified. The electrical requirement also steps up sharply here: 20 A rated current in both cooling and heating, a 25.6 A minimum circuit ampacity, 35 A maximum overcurrent protection, and a 30-amp two-pole breaker — the largest in the Livo R32 series.
Ideal for: Large great rooms and combined living spaces, open commercial floors, restaurants and taprooms, gyms and studios, church halls and community rooms, and heating-dominant projects where the 9.0 HSPF2 rating pays back over a long winter.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 36,000 BTU Gree Livo 21 SEER2 Heat Pump System, the largest single-zone system in the Livo R32 lineup.
Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, room volume and air distribution, glazing, ceiling height, ambient conditions, ventilation, occupancy, and internal heat gain.

Specifications & Manuals
Verify breaker sizing and piping against the submittal before rough-in — this model needs a 30-amp circuit and a 1/4" and 5/8" insulated copper line set rather than the 1/2 inch gas line used on 18K and 24K systems. Longer lengths are listed under ductless copper lines and kits.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a 30,000 BTU system achieve better SEER2 than the 9,000 BTU models?
Turndown range. This model modulates from 36,000 BTU/h down to 3,000 BTU/h — roughly a 10-to-1 ratio — while the smaller heads have a narrower band. SEER2 is a seasonal average weighted toward part-load operation, so a compressor that can run very slowly for very long stretches scores higher, which is how it reaches 22.0 SEER2.
What breaker and wire does the 30,000 BTU model require?
It lists a 25.6 A minimum circuit ampacity, 35 A maximum overcurrent protection, and a 30 A suggested breaker on a two-pole 208-230V circuit — the heaviest electrical requirement in the series. Main power wire is sized per local code for the ampacity and run length; interconnecting wire between units is 14 AWG, 4 conductor.
Which Livo R32 model is the better choice for a cold climate, this or the 36,000 BTU?
This one, on heating efficiency. It is rated 9.0 HSPF2 versus 8.5 for the 36,000 BTU model, with a 3.2 COP at 47°F. The 36,000 BTU system produces more absolute heat — 23,600 BTU/h at 5°F versus 23,000 — so the decision comes down to whether the design heating load needs the extra capacity.
Is the 5/8 inch gas line the same as what a 3-ton central system uses?
The diameter is common to many systems, but this application uses flared connections rather than brazed, and R-32 operates at higher pressures than R-410A. Line set must be rated appropriately, properly insulated on both lines, and installed per the service manual's torque specifications.
Can a single 30,000 BTU head serve a two-story open space?
Capacity is likely adequate, but stratification is the real obstacle — heat rises to the upper level and cool air settles below, so the two floors will not track the same setpoint from one head. Two-story volumes generally want equipment at each level. Request sizing assistance and we can look at the layout with you.
How loud is the outdoor unit at this capacity?
Sound pressure is 62 dB(A), the highest in the series, from a 39-3/8 x 29-3/8 x 15-13/16 in. cabinet weighing 116.8 lb. That is comparable to a conventional residential condenser. Placement away from bedroom windows and neighboring property lines is worth planning, along with anti-vibration isolation pads under the feet.
