HVAC Mirage | 24000 BTU | 21 SEER2 | Wall Mounted | Single-Zone Mini Split Indoor Unit | 220V | IPWH241C

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.
