A good fit if…
- You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 73% of central heat pumps.
- Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 26,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- 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-MR0(X)?
- The AC Pro AOD30U-30HFN1-MR0(X) is rated at up to 18.2 SEER2 and 11.7 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.8 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
- Is the AC Pro AOD30U-30HFN1-MR0(X) good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 26,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.80, so it is still 1.8 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the AC Pro AOD30U-30HFN1-MR0(X) cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $726-$2,111 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $918 in Phoenix and $1,782 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-MR0(X)?
- ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses AVBL-30HWFN1-MJ3.
- What refrigerant does the AC Pro AOD30U-30HFN1-MR0(X) 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.
