Why it matters

The Senville AURA 24,000 BTU is rated at 24,000 BTU of cooling. On the ENERGY STAR room sizing chart that suits about 1,400 to 1,500 sq ft of average room; the maker says up to 1,250 sq ft.

Its 20.5 SEER ranks 1 of 6 among the mini-splits within about 12% of its capacity that we cover, the top of that group. The maker says heat-pump heating keeps working down to -22°F outside, hyper-heat territory. Indoor noise is listed at 36 dB at its quietest setting.

Expect a professional install: the copper lines are connected, pressure-checked and vacuumed before the refrigerant is released. The kit includes a 16ft. line set. It uses R-454B refrigerant, one of the lower-impact A2L refrigerants new systems moved to in 2025.

The listing gives dimensions of 10 inD x 40 inW x 113 inH, a shipping or unit weight of 28 pounds, a 1,920 W power draw and indoor air handler, outdoor condenser, remote control, wifi kit, 16 ft. installation kit in the box.
