A good fit if…
- Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 17,700 BTU/h at 5°F.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- Cooling cost matters most - its SEER2 is below average for mini-splits.
- You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the AC Pro AOX430-17HFN1-MT0W?
- The AC Pro AOX430-17HFN1-MT0W is rated at up to 20.5 SEER2 and 12.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 2 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 18.0-20.5.
- Is the AC Pro AOX430-17HFN1-MT0W good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 17,700 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.16, so it is still 2.2 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the AC Pro AOX430-17HFN1-MT0W cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $391-$1,124 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $493 in Phoenix and $947 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 AOX430-17HFN1-MT0W?
- ENERGY STAR lists 2 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use AC PRO ACCA3U-18HRFN1-M, AC PRO ATIU-18HWFN1-M.
- What refrigerant does the AC Pro AOX430-17HFN1-MT0W 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.
