The HVAC Mirage OMZH241C (Ventus X Series) is a 24,000 BTU, 23 SEER2 inverter-driven outdoor condenser built for homeowners and contractors who need high-efficiency variable-speed cooling in a 2-ton footprint. Note: This listing is for the outdoor condenser component only — a compatible indoor air handler, line set, and electrical accessories must be purchased separately to form a complete operational system.
Engineered for variable-speed comfort, the OMZH241C's inverter-driven compressor continuously modulates output to match real-time load — eliminating the on/off cycling of single-stage equipment and maintaining tighter temperature tolerances while consuming less energy over a full season. At 23 SEER2, this condenser exceeds current federal minimum efficiency thresholds for the Southern region and qualifies as a high-efficiency unit for utility rebate programs in most states.

(OMZH241C)
Installation Requirements & Accessories
- Electrical Requirement: Dedicated 220V (208-230V / 60Hz) Single-Phase circuit. Breaker size [NEEDS VERIFICATION — confirm with full electrical spec sheet].
- Line Set Required (NOT Included): 3/8" Liquid x 7/8" Suction copper refrigerant line set — sized to your installation run length.
- Indoor Unit NOT Included: This is a component-only listing. A compatible HVAC Mirage indoor air handler must be purchased separately.
- Mounting Hardware NOT Included: Wall mounting brackets, electrical whip, and disconnect box must be sourced separately.
- Not Compatible With: 115V-only circuits.
Pro-Installer Tip: Leaking flare connections are the leading cause of refrigerant loss and premature compressor failure on residential mini splits. Use an Eccentric Flaring Tool (not a standard impact flare tool) to produce a bubble-tight, uniform flare seat, then torque each fitting to manufacturer specification using a calibrated Digital Torque Wrench — do not estimate by feel. Before opening service valves, pull and hold a vacuum below 500 microns for a minimum of 15 minutes; a rising vacuum after isolation indicates a leak or residual moisture that will convert to acid inside the refrigerant circuit. For the communication wiring between indoor and outdoor units, use 14/4 AWG stranded copper — undersized or solid-conductor wire is the most common source of "E1" communication fault codes on inverter-driven systems. All refrigerant handling must be performed by an EPA Section 608-certified technician in compliance with 40 CFR Part 82.
Key Benefits
- 23 SEER2 Efficiency: Exceeds federal minimum thresholds for Southern region compliance and qualifies for utility efficiency rebates in most states.
- Variable-Speed Inverter Compressor: Continuously modulates output to match real-time load — no on/off cycling, tighter temperature control, lower peak draw.
- R-410A Factory Pre-Charged: Ships with refrigerant charge complete; technician evacuates, confirms charge, and opens service valves during installation.
- 2-Ton Capacity (24,000 BTU): Appropriate for residential spaces typically 1,000–1,500 sq ft, subject to Manual J load calculation.
- 7-Year / 5-Year Warranty Coverage: Industry-leading compressor and parts warranty when installed by a licensed professional and registered with HVAC Mirage.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is professional installation required to keep the warranty valid, or is this a true DIY kit?
- Professional installation by a licensed HVAC technician is strictly required. This is a standard flare-connection system that requires evacuation to below 500 microns before opening service valves. It is not a pre-charged, no-vacuum DIY kit. The 7-Year Compressor / 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty is only valid when installed by a licensed professional and when the product is registered.
- Is the line set included, and if not, what size do I need to buy?
- The line set is NOT included with this outdoor condenser. You will need a copper refrigerant line set with a 3/8" liquid line and a 7/8" suction line, sized appropriately for your run length.
- Does this listing include everything needed to cool a room?
- No. This listing is for the outdoor condenser component (OMZH241C) only. To form a complete, operational mini split system, you must separately purchase: a compatible HVAC Mirage indoor air handler, a copper line set (3/8" liquid x 7/8" suction), electrical disconnect box, mounting hardware, and have it installed by a licensed HVAC contractor.
- What voltage circuit does this outdoor condenser require?
- This unit requires a dedicated 220V (208-230V / 60Hz / Single-Phase) circuit. It is NOT compatible with standard 115V household circuits.
