Mini Split 9,000 BTU Gree Vireo 24 SEER2 WiFi Heat Pump Ceiling Cassette System VIR09HP230V1R32AO, CAS09HP230V1R32AH
This 9,000 BTU Gree single zone system pairs the VIR09HP230V1R32AO Vireo R32 inverter condenser with the CAS09HP230V1R32AH 360° ceiling cassette, and it ships with the GREETF05 decorative grille already in the box. Rated 24 SEER2 with 9,100 BTU/h of cooling and 10,500 BTU/h of heating, it is built for the small room that needs real capacity without a wall-mounted head taking up prime wall space — a home office, a converted attic bedroom, a dental exam room, or a small server closet. Because the entire indoor unit tucks into the ceiling, the only visible hardware is a flat square grille roughly 22 inches across.
Is a 9,000 BTU Ceiling Cassette System the Right Size?
Nine thousand BTU is the entry point in this cassette line and it is a genuine single-room capacity. As a general planning figure, installers size this system to roughly 250 to 400 square feet of conditioned space. What matters more than the raw square footage is how hard that room works: a west-facing room with two large windows and a computer running all day pulls far more load than a shaded interior room of the same size.
Ceiling cassettes also change the sizing conversation compared with a wall-mounted head. Discharging air in four directions from the center of the ceiling means the room mixes more evenly, so a correctly sized 9K cassette usually holds setpoint with less fan noise than an equivalent wall unit fighting a single throw pattern. Ceiling height, insulation quality, plenum depth above the drywall, and how often the door stays open all factor into the final selection.
Ideal for: Home offices, bedrooms and bonus rooms, small retail fitting areas, dental and medical exam rooms, salon suites, small IT and equipment closets, and finished garages up to roughly 400 square feet.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 12,000 BTU Gree Vireo 23 SEER2 Ceiling Cassette System for larger single rooms and small open-plan areas needing additional cooling and heating capacity.
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.

Most competing cassette systems quote a price for the condenser and cassette, then add the decorative grille and a controller as separate line items. This package arrives complete: the GREETF05 grille, the handheld wireless remote, and the XE72-44/E hardwired wall controller are all part of the system, and the WiFi radio is already inside the condenser from the factory. For a small-room installation, that means one purchase order and no waiting on a back-ordered panel to finish the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size room is the 9,000 BTU Gree cassette system designed for?
As a general guideline this system suits roughly 250 to 400 square feet. Rooms with heavy sun exposure, high ceilings, or significant equipment load may need the 12K system instead, and a load calculation is the only way to know for certain.
Do I have to buy the ceiling grille separately for the CAS09HP230V1R32AH?
No. The GREETF05 decorative grille is included in this system. Gree sells the cassette and grille as separate part numbers, so many listings price them apart — this package supplies both.
How many controllers ship with this 9K system?
Two. Gree includes a wireless remote with an LCD display and the XE72-44/E hardwired wall controller. You can mount the wired controller for a permanent thermostat-style interface and keep the handheld remote as a secondary control.
What is the maximum line set length for the VIR09HP230V1R32AO?
The Vireo 9K condenser is rated for a refrigerant line run of 10 to 66 feet with a maximum elevation change of 40 feet. Line sizes are 1/4 inch liquid and 3/8 inch gas with flared connections.
How much space is needed above the ceiling for this cassette?
The CAS09HP230V1R32AH body measures 22-7/16 inches square and 10-7/16 inches deep, so the plenum above the finished ceiling must accommodate that depth plus clearance for the refrigerant lines, condensate line, and wiring. Confirm the available cavity before ordering.
Is the WiFi on this system an add-on module?
No. WiFi is factory installed in the Vireo R32 condenser, so app-based control is available without purchasing or wiring an aftermarket adapter.
