What is the SEER2 rating of the Concord 4DHP2S12S-1P?

The Concord 4DHP2S12S-1P is rated at up to 24.6 SEER2 and 13.7 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.7 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 39 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 18.8-24.6.

Is the Concord 4DHP2S12S-1P good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 8,400 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.39, so it is still 2.4 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Concord 4DHP2S12S-1P cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $227-$688 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $291 in Phoenix and $584 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 Concord 4DHP2S12S-1P?

ENERGY STAR lists 39 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use Armstrong Air DWM212S4-*P, Allied DWM212S4-*P, AirEase DWM212S4-*P.

What refrigerant does the Concord 4DHP2S12S-1P 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.
