What is the SEER2 rating of the Carrier 27VNA360A*030?

The Carrier 27VNA360A*030 is rated at up to 20.0 SEER2 and 12.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 8.5 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 41 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 17.5-20.0.

Is the Carrier 27VNA360A*030 good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 47,500 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.08, so it is still 2.1 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Carrier 27VNA360A*030 cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,328-$4,308 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,742 in Phoenix and $3,680 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the Carrier 27VNA360A*030 the same as the Bryant 293VAN060**AA?

Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists both model numbers with identical efficiency, capacity and matchups, which means the same outdoor unit sold under a different brand or with a minor variant code (voltage, colour or region). The full list is on this page.

Which indoor units work with the Carrier 27VNA360A*030?

ENERGY STAR lists 41 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use FE5BNBD60L*+UI, CAA**6024AM*+UI, CAA**6124AM*+UI.

5-ton central heat pump · Infinity 23 VS Heat Pump

Carrier 27VNA360A*030

Excellent cooling efficiency and below average heating efficiency for a 5-ton central heat pump, and certified for cold climates.

Ranks #6 of 100 5 ton central heat pumps for cooling efficiency, and costs about $1,728 a year to run in a mixed climate like Atlanta.

A good fit if…

You want low cooling bills - its SEER2 beats 94% of central heat pumps.
Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 47,500 BTU/h at 5°F.
You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
You want a choice of indoor units - 41 certified pairings.

Think twice if…

You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for central heat pumps.
