A 24,000 BTU (2-Ton) wall-mounted indoor air handler from the HVAC Mirage Polaris Cold-Climate Series — engineered for contractors who need a high-efficiency, R-454B-ready component to complete or expand a ductless mini split installation. This is a component-only listing: an outdoor condenser and line set are not included.
The IPWH241C is the wall-mounted indoor air handler from the HVAC Mirage Polaris Cold-Climate Series. Operating on R-454B low-GWP refrigerant (compliant with 2026 mandates), this 24,000 BTU (2.0-Ton) unit is engineered to deliver up to 21 SEER2 efficiency when paired with a compatible Polaris Series outdoor condenser. The wall-mount configuration provides direct, targeted airflow and fits standard residential and light-commercial wall penetrations — no ceiling framing or drop-tile grid required.

Installation Requirements & Accessories
- Electrical: Requires a dedicated 220V (208-230V / 60Hz, single-phase) circuit. Not compatible with 115V-only circuits.
- Line Set (NOT included): 3/8" liquid x 7/8" suction copper line set — must be purchased and installed separately.
- Outdoor Condenser (NOT included): A matched HVAC Mirage Polaris Cold-Climate Series outdoor condenser is required for system operation and is sold separately.
- Wall Sleeve / Mounting Bracket (NOT included): Installer-supplied. Verify wall construction and line-set routing before installation.
- Professional Installation Required: This is not a DIY pre-charged system. Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician.
Pro-Installer Field Tip
[Technical Friction] The most common callback on wall-mount installations is a refrigerant-side leak at the indoor flare fittings — particularly on 7/8" suction lines where under-torquing is routine. [Long-Term Prevention] An under-torqued or over-torqued R-454B flare will develop a slow leak that triggers E1/E6 communication fault codes weeks after commissioning, not during initial startup, making the root cause difficult to trace. [Expert Validation] Torque every flare to the manufacturer's published spec using a calibrated Digital Torque Wrench — not a conventional adjustable wrench — and hold a minimum 500-micron deep vacuum for at least 15 minutes before cracking the service valves. [Professional Standard] R-454B is an A2L mildly flammable refrigerant; EPA Section 608 certification is mandatory for handling, and leak-checking with an R-454B-compatible electronic detector (not nitrogen alone) is the accepted field standard prior to system startup.
Key Benefits
- High Efficiency: Rated up to 21 SEER2 when matched with a compatible Polaris Series outdoor condenser — exceeding current DOE minimum efficiency standards for split systems.
- 2026-Ready Refrigerant: Factory-charged for R-454B, a low-GWP A2L refrigerant that satisfies AIM Act phase-down requirements without sacrificing capacity.
- 2.0-Ton Capacity: 24,000 BTU output suits large bedrooms, open-plan living areas, server rooms, and light-commercial spaces up to approximately 1,200 sq ft (climate-dependent).
- Wall-Mount Simplicity: No ceiling framing, joist bay, or drop-tile grid required — ideal for retrofits where above-ceiling space is unavailable.
- Quiet Variable-Speed Airflow: Inverter-driven fan motor modulates airflow to maintain set-point temperature without the on/off cycling noise of single-stage systems.
- Backed by Mirage Warranty: 7-Year Compressor / 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty when installed by a licensed professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a complete mini split system, or a component only?
- This is a component-only listing for the indoor air handler (IPWH241C). A matched outdoor condenser and copper line set are required for operation and are NOT included in this purchase.
- Is professional installation required to keep the warranty valid?
- Yes. This is not a DIY kit. Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC professional to maintain the 7-Year Compressor / 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty.
- What size line set connections does this unit require?
- This unit requires 3/8" liquid line and 7/8" suction line copper connections. The line set is NOT included and must be purchased separately.
- What voltage circuit does this air handler require?
- This unit requires a dedicated 220V (208-230V / 60Hz, single-phase) circuit. It is NOT compatible with 115V-only circuits.
Compliance & Warranty
Warranty: 7-Year Compressor / 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty. Warranty validation requires installation by a licensed HVAC professional; DIY or unlicensed installation voids coverage. Refrigerant Compliance: This unit operates on R-454B, an A2L mildly flammable refrigerant compliant with 2026 AIM Act phase-down mandates. Handling requires EPA Section 608 certification. Efficiency: 21 SEER2 rating meets current DOE regional efficiency standards for split-system air conditioners.
