Its inverter adjusts output across a range of 5,120 to 24,500 BTU/h as the room needs it, but its rated cooling capacity is 23,000 BTU/h at 95°F. Check your room with the free size finder before you buy, and plan a dedicated circuit and a licensed HVAC install with the install planner. See what a mini split costs, installed.

Guide
A 2 ton mini split: the room, the power, and the install
A 2 ton mini split search usually means one large room, not two bedrooms. One ton is 12,000 BTU per hour, so the MSCR32-23CHSA2 at 23,000 BTU/h is about 1.9 tons, sold in the 2 ton class. Published coverage is up to 1,400 square feet under typical conditions. An open living area is the usual fit. A closed bedroom is not. The free size finder is how you check sun, ceiling height, and insulation before you commit to this minisplit unit.
Cooling is 23,000 BTU/h at 95°F, and the cooling range is 5,120–24,500 BTU/h. Heating is 22,400 BTU/h at 47°F, 13,500 BTU/h at 17°F, and 12,000 BTU/h at 5°F (max). The heating range is also 5,120–24,500 BTU/h. The outdoor heating range is 5–86°F. If your room's load is closer to 12,000 BTU, this head is more capacity than you need, and it will not run on a 115V circuit.
Power is 208/230V, 60 Hz, single phase. That is the class people call 220V or 240V. It is not a 110V or 115V system. Rated input is 2,365 W cooling and 1,900 W heating. Rated current is 12 A cooling and 13 A heating. Minimum circuit ampacity is 17 A, the max fuse or breaker is 25 A, and the connecting wiring is 4 x 16 AWG. Plan a dedicated circuit with a licensed electrician. Our 9,000 and 12,000 BTU systems are the 115V ones.
Efficiency is 17 SEER2 and 9.5 EER2. HSPF2 is 9.5 in Region IV and 8.5 in Region V. COP2 is 3.3 at 47°F and 1.8 at 5°F. SEER2 is the seasonal cooling rating. It does not replace a room-by-room load calculation, and it is lower than the 23 SEER2 on the 9,000 BTU system because these are different machines for different rooms.
The line set is 1/2 in gas and 1/4 in liquid. The unit is precharged for 25 ft. Maximum line length is 65 ft, and the maximum height difference is 49 ft. Extra line beyond the precharge is 0.11 oz/ft. The kit includes a 16 ft line set. You control it with the included remote and the Tuya app. The manuals do not mention Alexa. Mounting can be homeowner work. Refrigerant connections, the vacuum, and the 208/230V circuit belong with licensed pros. The warranty may not be honored if the unit was not professionally installed.

Tons
Is 23,000 BTU a 2 ton mini split?
One ton of cooling is 12,000 BTU per hour, so 23,000 BTU ≈ 1.9 tons, which is sold as the 2 ton class. The MSCR32-23CHSA2 is rated 23,000 BTU/h cooling at 95°F and 22,400 BTU/h heating at 47°F. Cooling and heating each range from 5,120 to 24,500 BTU/h.
Sizing
Up to 1,400 sq ft on a 2 ton mini split
The published figure is for typical conditions: a shaded, well-insulated room is the easy case, a sunny open plan with high ceilings the hard one. If the size finder puts your room at 12,000 BTU or less, a 12,000 BTU system costs less to buy and runs on 115V. If you are really conditioning two separate rooms, the DUET gives each its own control.
Power
What power does a 2 ton mini split use?
The 23,000 BTU system is 208/230V, 60 Hz, single phase. Rated input is 2,365 W cooling and 1,900 W heating. Rated current is 12 A cooling and 13 A heating. Minimum circuit ampacity is 17 A, the max fuse or breaker is 25 A, and the connecting wiring is 4 x 16 AWG. Plan a dedicated circuit, and have a licensed electrician size and install it from the nameplate and installation manual. Our 115V systems are on the 110V hub for comparison.
Zones
A 2 ton mini split, or DUET for two rooms?
Choose the 23,000 BTU system for one large open area served by one indoor unit. Choose the DUET when two rooms each need their own temperature from a single outdoor unit; it pairs an 18,000 BTU outdoor unit with two 9,000 BTU indoor heads. Compare them on the dual-zone hub.

Sizes
Where a 2 ton mini split sits by square feet
Each row is a system in the catalog, and the coverage is the figure on that model's spec sheet. We do not sell an 18,000 BTU single-zone head, so 18,000 BTU is not a row. 2 Ton and 2-Ton (24K) both mean the 23,000 BTU system, published for Up to 1,400 sq ft.
| System | Cooling | Published coverage |
|---|---|---|
| MSCT-09HAC1 | 9,000 BTU/h | Up to 400 sq ft |

Price questions
How much does a 2 ton (24,000 BTU) mini split cost?
Our 2 ton / 24K-class mini split, the 23,000 BTU MSCR32-23CHSA2 heat pump, is $1,450.00 with free shipping. That is the equipment price: indoor unit, outdoor unit, a 16 ft line set kit, cable, pipe wrap, wall sleeve and remote. Installation is separate.
Is a 23,000 BTU mini split the same as a 24,000 BTU one?
It is the same size class. Many shoppers search for "24K" or "2 ton", and our unit is rated 23,000 BTU/h cooling, about 1.9 tons. We show the real rating on purpose so you can size it correctly. If your room is in the 24,000 BTU range, this is the model to compare. If you are not sure, the free Size Finder checks your room and tells you.
Is shipping really free, and where does it ship from?
Yes. Free shipping on retail orders, shipped from Miami Gardens, FL. Orders go out the same or next business day and usually arrive in 2 to 7 business days depending on location. Mini splits travel on a pallet by freight carrier, so check the boxes for damage while the driver is there.
What does the $1,450 not include?
Installation labor, any permit your area requires, and the dedicated 208/230V circuit the unit needs. Our installation cost guide walks through each line item so you can compare quotes.
What would it cost to have a 2 ton mini split installed?
We do not set installer prices, so we can't quote one. For context, National Air Warehouse's 2026 guide puts a fully installed 18,000 to 24,000 BTU single-zone system at roughly $3,000 to $6,500 including equipment. That is a published market range, not a Classic America price. Local labor, line-set length and whether you need a new circuit move the number most. Our installation cost guide walks through each line item so you can compare quotes.
