The neat thing about inverter technology is it's not just on or off, or a 2 speed blower, it's variable..
Cooling output is variable from 4,000 to 24,200 BTU.
Heating output is variable from 4,400 to 29,000 BTU.
(from the 24,000 BTU model specs).

So, if it's pumping out 25,000 BTU of heat early in the morning,
it might be down to 5,000 BTU by 9 AM..
