HVAC Mirage | Ventus X Series | 24,000 BTU | 23 SEER2 | Wall Mounted | Indoor Air Handler | 208/230V | IMZH241C

The HVAC Mirage Ventus X Series 24,000 BTU wall-mounted indoor air handler delivers high-efficiency comfort for spaces up to approximately 1,500 sq. ft. when paired with a compatible outdoor condenser — ideal for homeowners and contractors seeking a 23 SEER2-rated upgrade in a standard wall-mount form factor. Professional installation required; outdoor condenser unit sold separately.

HVAC Mirage Ventus X Series — 24,000 BTU Wall-Mounted Indoor Air Handler

The Ventus X Series IMZH241C is a 2.0-ton, 23 SEER2-rated wall-mounted indoor air handler engineered for high-efficiency ductless cooling and heating applications in spaces up to approximately 1,500 sq. ft. Built for 208/230V single-phase circuits and factory pre-charged with R-454B, this unit is designed for contractor-installed single-zone and compatible multi-zone ductless mini split configurations. The wall-mount form factor makes it one of the most versatile indoor head configurations for residential and light-commercial retrofits where ceiling cassette framing is impractical. This is the indoor unit only — a matching outdoor condenser, line set, and electrical work are required for a complete installation.

What's Included

Note: Outdoor condenser unit, line set, mounting hardware, disconnect box, and drain line are NOT included and must be sourced separately.

Installation Requirements & Accessories

• Voltage: Dedicated 208/230V / 60Hz / Single-Phase circuit required. NOT compatible with 115V circuits.
• Refrigerant Lines: 3/8" OD liquid line and 7/8" OD suction line required. Line set NOT included.
• Outdoor Condenser: NOT included — must be purchased separately and matched to this indoor head for AHRI certification compliance.
• Line Set Cover: NOT included — exterior line set cover kit must be purchased separately for weather protection.
• Disconnect Box: NOT included — a dedicated weather-resistant disconnect box is required at the outdoor unit location per NEC code.
• Drain Line: NOT included — 3/4" PVC condensate drain line and trap required.
• Wall Sleeve / Mounting Bracket: Standard mounting plate included; structural wall reinforcement may be required depending on wall construction.
• Wiring: 14/4 AWG stranded communication wire required between indoor and outdoor units (wire NOT included).
• Professional Installation Required: This is not a DIY quick-connect kit. EPA Section 608 Certified technician required for refrigerant handling and system commissioning.

⚙️ Pro-Installer Tip

[Technical Friction] On a 24,000 BTU flare-connection system, the most common post-installation callback is a leaking flare joint at the indoor unit's service port — often caused by under-torquing the 7/8" suction flare nut during an overhead or tight-clearance installation.

[Long-Term Prevention] A weeping suction flare will bleed refrigerant slowly — typically producing an "E1" communication error within 6–18 months rather than an immediate failure, making it difficult to diagnose without a refrigerant scale and a manifold gauge set.

[Expert Validation] Always use a calibrated digital torque wrench to torque the 7/8" flare nut to the manufacturer-specified value (typically 38–42 ft-lbs for a 7/8" copper flare on R-410A systems). An eccentric flaring tool — not a standard swaging tool — is required to produce a consistent, leak-proof 45° flare seat on the suction line.

[Professional Standard] Per EPA Section 608 regulations, recover all residual refrigerant before breaking any refrigerant circuit. After completing all flare connections, evacuate the system to 500 microns or below (verified with an electronic micron gauge, not an analog manifold) before opening service valves. Failure to achieve proper vacuum is the leading cause of premature compressor failure due to residual moisture.

Key Benefits

• 23 SEER2 Efficiency: Exceeds current DOE minimum SEER2 standards, reducing annual cooling energy costs compared to legacy split systems.
• Factory Pre-Charged R-410A: Ships with refrigerant pre-charged from the factory — field refrigerant addition is required only if line set length exceeds the outdoor condenser's factory charge capacity.
• 208/230V Single-Phase Compatibility: Designed for the standard residential and light-commercial 240V service panel — compatible with most US electrical services without step-up transformers.
• Wall-Mount Versatility: Does not require ceiling joist modification or drop-ceiling framing — installs on virtually any structurally sound interior wall.
• 7-Year Compressor / 5-Year Parts Warranty: Above-average manufacturer warranty coverage for the Ventus X product line.
• Ventus X Series Engineering: R-410A refrigerant circuit with factory-tested leak check — reduces commissioning time for licensed installers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is professional installation required to keep the warranty valid?

Yes. The HVAC Mirage Ventus X Series IMZH241C is a standard flare-connection (non-DIY) system that requires a licensed HVAC technician for installation. Professional installation by a certified technician is required to maintain the 7-Year Compressor and 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty. This unit is not a pre-charged quick-connect DIY kit.

What breaker and electrical circuit does this unit require?

This indoor air handler is rated for 208-230V / 60Hz / Single-Phase power. It must be connected to a dedicated 208/230V circuit. It is NOT compatible with 115V-only circuits. Exact breaker amperage for the complete system is determined by the matched outdoor condenser — [NEEDS VERIFICATION from outdoor condenser spec sheet]. Consult a licensed electrician before running the dedicated circuit.

Is the line set included, and if not, what size do I need?

No — the line set is NOT included with this indoor air handler. This unit requires a 3/8-inch OD liquid line and a 7/8-inch OD suction (vapor) line. Line set must be purchased separately. Line set length must be sized per the matched outdoor condenser's published maximum run length.

Is the outdoor condenser included with this listing?

No. This listing is for the HVAC Mirage Ventus X Series indoor air handler unit (IMZH241C) only. The matching outdoor condenser is sold separately. Ensure the outdoor unit is AHRI-certified with this indoor head before purchase.

Does this system work in cold climates for low-ambient heating?

Low-ambient heating operating temperature range for this unit is [NEEDS VERIFICATION from Ventus X Series outdoor condenser spec sheet]. Check the matched outdoor condenser's published minimum operating temperature before specifying for cold-climate applications.
