What is the SEER2 rating of the AproDr ALC24-12H1B?

The AproDr ALC24-12H1B is rated at up to 24.6 SEER2 and 12.7 EER2 for cooling and up to 11.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 7 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 19.5-24.6.

Is the AproDr ALC24-12H1B good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 8,900 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.50, so it is still 2.5 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the AproDr ALC24-12H1B cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $230-$674 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $292 in Phoenix and $570 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 AproDr ALC24-12H1B?

ENERGY STAR lists 7 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use ApooDr CID2M-12HRFN10, Aprodr CID2M-12HRFN10, Aprodr OWC-12HRFN10.
