What is the SEER2 rating of the Airquest DLCSRBH24AAK?

The Airquest DLCSRBH24AAK is rated at up to 22.3 SEER2 and 12.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 11.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 169 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 16.6-22.3.

Is the Airquest DLCSRBH24AAK good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 27,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.21, so it is still 2.2 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Airquest DLCSRBH24AAK cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $506-$1,369 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $626 in Phoenix and $1,146 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 DLCSRBH24AAK?

ENERGY STAR lists 169 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use DAY & NIGHT DLFSHBH24XAK, COMFORTMAKER DLFSHBH24XAK, ARCOAIRE DLFSHBH24XAK.

What refrigerant does the Airquest DLCSRBH24AAK 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.
