Mini Split 36,000 BTU Gree Livo 21 SEER2 Heat Pump System LIV36HP230V1R32AO, LIV36HP230V1R32AH
The LIV36HP230V1R32AO condenser and LIV36HP230V1R32AH air handler form the largest single-zone system Gree builds in the Livo R32 series. Three nominal tons of capacity from one wall-mounted head, rated 33,600 BTU/h cooling at 95°F and 34,000 BTU/h heating at 47°F, with the inverter reaching 37,500 BTU/h at the top of its range in both modes. It still earns 21.0 SEER2, and its 22,000 BTU/h of heating at 17°F is the strongest low-temperature output in the lineup. This is the system for a big open volume that would otherwise require ductwork. A wireless LCD remote is included and Wi-Fi is standard.
When One Head Has to Cover a Big Volume
Three tons of ductless capacity exists for spaces that a conventional split system would normally serve through ducts — a shop floor, a warehouse bay, a large retail space, an equipment or grow room, a big finished basement. The appeal is avoiding duct runs entirely: one line set, one penetration, and one head handling the whole volume. The 441 to 794 CFM blower and 7.40 pints per hour of dehumidification give it the reach to make that work in an open plan.
The honest constraint is distribution, not capacity. A single head cannot condition around corners, through partitions, or into separate offices no matter how large it is, so the space needs to be genuinely open for three tons from one point to be effective. On the load side, quantify volume rather than floor area, along with insulation, wall and roof exposure, overhead doors, ventilation air, occupancy, and equipment heat. Electrically it needs a 23 A minimum circuit ampacity, 35 A maximum overcurrent protection, and a 25-amp two-pole breaker.
Ideal for: Shop and warehouse floors, large retail spaces, open commercial suites, equipment and process rooms, oversized finished basements, event and assembly spaces, and any large open volume where installing ductwork is impractical.
Need more capacity? Thirty-six thousand BTU is the largest single-zone Livo R32 system, so larger projects move to multiple heads — browse multi-zone configurations and additional single-zone sizes across our full ductless mini split systems range.
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.

AHRI certification 214779348 applies to this pairing. The 122.4 lb condenser — the heaviest in the series — carries a 56.4 oz R-32 charge good for 25 feet, adding 0.4 oz per foot beyond. Connections are 1/4 inch liquid and 5/8 inch gas flared, with pipe length to 131 feet and elevation difference to 82 feet. The indoor cabinet is 42-7/16 x 13-7/64 x 9-11/16 in. at 34.2 lb. Wi-Fi is included and the optional XE71 wired controller interface is available, which is often the preferred choice in commercial spaces where a handheld remote tends to disappear.

Specifications & Manuals
Note that the replacement remote controller part number differs on this model from the rest of the series — confirm against the parts list before ordering. Installation requires a 1/4" and 5/8" insulated copper line set, and heavy condensers at this weight should be set on rated condenser pads, wall mounts or tie downs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is rated cooling 33,600 BTU/h on a 36,000 BTU system?
The 36,000 designation is the nominal three ton class. Measured cooling capacity at the 95°F rating condition is 33,600 BTU/h, though the inverter can reach 37,500 BTU/h at maximum. Heating at 47°F is rated 34,000 BTU/h. Use the 33,600 figure when sizing to a calculated cooling load.
Why does the 36,000 BTU model need a smaller breaker than the 30,000 BTU model?
Minimum circuit ampacity is lower on this model — 23 A versus 25.6 A — which yields a 25 A suggested breaker against 30 A for the 30K unit. Both share a 35 A maximum overcurrent protection rating. It reflects differences in compressor and fan motor design rather than an error; always follow the model's own submittal.
Is a single three ton head practical for a shop or warehouse bay?
In a genuinely open bay, yes — that is the strongest use case for this size. The limits to watch are ceiling height, which increases the volume being conditioned, and overhead doors, which introduce very large infiltration loads whenever they open. Insulating the doors and ceiling makes a bigger difference here than in almost any other application.
How does the low-temperature heating compare to the rest of the series?
It is the strongest available. This model produces 22,000 BTU/h at 17°F and 23,600 BTU/h maximum at 5°F, ahead of every other Livo R32 system. Rated heating operation extends to -13°F. Its 8.5 HSPF2 is lower than the 30K model's 9.0, so it trades some seasonal efficiency for absolute output.
What should I know about the replacement remote for this model?
The included wireless remote with LCD display is the same style used across the series, but the Livo R32 parts list assigns this model a different remote controller part number than the 9K through 30K units. If you are ordering a replacement, match it to the LIV36 entry in the parts list rather than assuming series commonality.
Can the condenser be installed on a rooftop?
Rooftop mounting is common at this capacity, and the 82 foot allowable elevation difference plus 131 foot line length usually accommodate it. Plan for the 122.4 lb operating weight on a properly designed curb or sleeper, unobstructed coil airflow, condensate management, and safe service access. Confirm clearances against the submittal.
