Mini Split 9,000 BTU Gree Vireo 27 SEER2 115V Heat Pump System VIR09HP115V1R32AO, VIR09HP115V1R32AH
At 27.0 SEER2 the VIR09HP115V1R32AO condenser and VIR09HP115V1R32AH air handler form the most efficient system Gree offers in the Vireo R32 line — and it runs on ordinary 115-volt single-phase power, so no new 208-230V circuit is required. Rated 9,100 BTU/h cooling at 95°F and 10,000 BTU/h heating at 47°F with a 10.5 HSPF2, it pairs that efficiency with a genuinely cold-climate operating envelope: rated heating down to -22°F and cooling up to 122°F. The inverter turns down to just 1,700 BTU/h, the indoor head runs as quiet as 20 dB(A), and a wireless LCD remote is included. Backed by a 5-year parts and 7-year compressor warranty.
Is 9,000 BTU Enough for Your Room?
This is the entry capacity in the Vireo R32 range and it is built for one room at a time. What separates it from a value-tier system of the same nameplate size is the turndown: an inverter that can hold 1,700 BTU/h will trickle along quietly for hours on a mild day instead of cycling, which is both where the 27 SEER2 comes from and why the room stays within a degree of setpoint.
Load, not floor area, decides whether 9,000 BTU is right. An interior bedroom with modern windows sheds very little heat; a west-facing room with sliding glass doors behaves like a much bigger space. Ceiling height, attic exposure above, air infiltration, occupancy, and electronics all shift the number. On the electrical side this model lists a 19 A minimum circuit ampacity and 20 A maximum overcurrent protection at 115V, drawing 12.3 A in cooling and 16.59 A in heating — so plan on a dedicated 20-amp 115V branch circuit with wire sized for the run.
Ideal for: Bedrooms and nurseries where 20 dB(A) operation matters, home offices, cold-climate rooms needing reliable low-temperature heating, small apartments and condos, and retrofits where adding a 240V circuit is impractical.
Need more capacity? Step up to the 12,000 BTU Gree Vireo 24.5 SEER2 115V Heat Pump System for about a third more output while staying on 115-volt power.
Recommended applications are general guidelines only. Actual system requirements depend on insulation, glazing, ceiling height, ambient conditions, occupancy, and internal heat gain. Request free sizing assistance, contact Budget Heating, or call 813-885-7999.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Vireo differ from the Gree Livo at the same 9,000 BTU size?
Efficiency and operating range. This Vireo is rated 27.0 SEER2 and 10.5 HSPF2 with heating down to -22°F, while the 115V Livo at 9,000 BTU is rated 20.5 SEER2 and 8.8 HSPF2 with heating to -13°F. The Vireo also adds seven fan speeds, humidity control, and a dirty filter alert.
Will this system actually heat when it is below zero outside?
Rated heating operation extends to -22°F, and the submittal lists 9,500 BTU/h of capacity at 5°F. Intelligent preheating protects the compressor on cold starts and a basepan electric heater keeps defrost water from freezing in the pan. Capacity still declines as temperature falls, so cold-climate sizing should be done against the design heating load.
What does 20 dB(A) sound like in practice?
It is below the level of a whisper at close range and generally under the background noise of a quiet bedroom at night — most people describe it as inaudible over ambient sound. That figure is the minimum on the lowest of seven fan speeds; the head reaches 41 dB(A) at maximum airflow.
Is the Wi-Fi a separate module I have to buy?
No. Wi-Fi is factory installed on this model, so app-based control and scheduling work out of the box with no dongle or adapter to purchase. A 2.4 GHz network is required for setup. The included wireless LCD remote operates the system fully on its own if app control is not wanted.
What is Freeze Guard mode used for?
Freeze Guard holds a minimum indoor temperature rather than a comfort setpoint, which makes it useful in spaces that are unoccupied for stretches — a vacation property, a guest room, or a workshop — where the goal is preventing pipes and contents from freezing rather than keeping the room comfortable.
What warranty comes with this system?
5 years on parts and 7 years on the compressor. As with all manufacturer warranties, coverage depends on proper installation and, in most cases, registration — keep the submittal, invoice, and installation records together in case a claim is ever needed.
