What is the SEER2 rating of the Daikin DH7VSA6010A?

The Daikin DH7VSA6010A is rated at up to 18.0 SEER2 and 9.8 EER2 for cooling and up to 9.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 37 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 15.2-18.0.

Is the Daikin DH7VSA6010A good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 46,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 2.00, so it is still 2.0 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the Daikin DH7VSA6010A cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $1,359-$3,731 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $1,689 in Phoenix and $3,127 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the Daikin DH7VSA6010A the same as the Goodman GZV7SA6010A?

Yes, as far as the certified ratings go. ENERGY STAR lists 3 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 Daikin DH7VSA6010A?

ENERGY STAR lists 37 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use DFVE60DP1300A, DFVE60DP0300A, CA*EA6030*3A*+MBVK20DP1X00A.
