A good fit if…
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- You often see nights below 0°F - it is not cold-climate certified.
- You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for central heat pumps.
- You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the AC Pro AOD30U-30HFN1-M(GA)?
- The AC Pro AOD30U-30HFN1-M(GA) is rated at up to 17.5 SEER2 and 11.2 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.4 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
- Is the AC Pro AOD30U-30HFN1-M(GA) good for cold climates?
- It is not cold-climate certified: none of its matchups meet the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria (a COP of at least 1.75 at 5°F among other limits). In places with frequent sub-zero nights, pick a cold-climate 2.5-ton model.
- How much does the AC Pro AOD30U-30HFN1-M(GA) cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $807-$2,236 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,006 in Phoenix and $1,877 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Which indoor units work with the AC Pro AOD30U-30HFN1-M(GA)?
- ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses AVC-30HWFN1-M(GA).
- What refrigerant does the AC Pro AOD30U-30HFN1-M(GA) use?
- It uses R-410A. R-410A is being phased down under the EPA AIM Act, and new systems are moving to R-454B and R-32.
