What is the SEER2 rating of the ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA?

The ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA is rated at up to 19.0 SEER2 and 9.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 632 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.5-19.0.

Is the ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 46,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.10, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,405-$4,262 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,802 in Phoenix and $3,614 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 ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA?

ENERGY STAR lists 632 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use EVM5X61M24A*+WALLCON, EVD5X61M21A*+WALLCON, EVD5X61M24A*+WALLCON.

Questions5

What is the SEER2 rating of the ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA?: The ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA is rated at up to 19.0 SEER2 and 9.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 632 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.5-19.0.
Is the ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA good for cold climates?: Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 46,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.10, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
How much does the ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA cost to run per year?: At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,405-$4,262 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,802 in Phoenix and $3,614 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 ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA?: ENERGY STAR lists 632 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use EVM5X61M24A*+WALLCON, EVD5X61M21A*+WALLCON, EVD5X61M24A*+WALLCON.
What refrigerant does the ACIQ H5H0V60*K*AAA use?: It uses R-454B.
