Warranty
Registration: Standard residential warranty of 5 years parts / 7 years compressor still applies (registration 'highly recommended'). The 10-year parts and compressor extension needs installation by a (previous) GREE Select dealer plus registration within 60 days; the 2021 warranty statement says 90 days.
GREE Ontario: compressor 10 years, fan motor 5 years, all other parts 1 year
Strengths and watch-outs
Strengths
- Full A2L (R-32) range covering single-zone, multi-zone, ducted mini-split, FLEXX central and packaged equipment (GREE Comfort product pages)
- Top-end efficiency: Sapphire R32 rated 'UP TO 30.0 SEER2 / 16.8 EER2 / 11.2 HSPF2' (maker page)
- Cold-weather central option: FLEXX ULTRA R32 claims 100% heating capacity at 5°F and heats down to -22°F
- Strong registered warranty in Ontario: 10 years on parts and compressor, and the compressor keeps 10 years even if the unit isn't registered (GREE Ontario statement)
Watch-outs
- Two separate GREE programs operate in the US in 2026 (GREE Comfort and Gree Climate Solutions LLC), each with its own lines and warranty. Confirm which one a quote falls under.
- US 10-year coverage requires a (previous) GREE Select dealer install plus registration within 60 days. Otherwise it's 5 years parts / 7 years compressor, and labour is never covered.
- Warranty requires installation by a licensed contractor (2025 catalog: 'licensed contractor installation required for Warranty Coverage'), so a DIY install isn't covered
- Canadian terms depend on the regional distributor (GREE Ontario, Airtek Canada, Sunrise Tradex). An unregistered GREE Ontario unit gets only 1 year on most parts.

The 25C tax credit ended for heat pumps placed in service after December 31, 2025.
