A good fit if…
- Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 20,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
- It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 70% of central heat pumps.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
- You want a choice of indoor units - 1,011 certified pairings.
Think twice if…
- Cooling cost matters most - its SEER2 is below average for central heat pumps.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the Airquest D5CURAH24AAK+KSAIC0701230?
- The Airquest D5CURAH24AAK+KSAIC0701230 is rated at up to 16.0 SEER2 and 10.0 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 1011 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.2-16.0.
- Is the Airquest D5CURAH24AAK+KSAIC0701230 good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 20,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.14, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the Airquest D5CURAH24AAK+KSAIC0701230 cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $669-$1,654 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $839 in Phoenix and $1,357 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 Airquest D5CURAH24AAK+KSAIC0701230?
- ENERGY STAR lists 1011 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use FM(C,U)5Z36**AL, FM(C,U)5Z30**AL, EA*5X25M17A.
- What refrigerant does the Airquest D5CURAH24AAK+KSAIC0701230 use?
- It uses R-454B.
