What is the SEER2 rating of the ECO AC EHH-O18KBA?

The ECO AC EHH-O18KBA is rated at up to 23.0 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.

Is the ECO AC EHH-O18KBA good for cold climates?

Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 13,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.85, so it is still 1.9 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.

How much does the ECO AC EHH-O18KBA cost to run per year?

At its rated efficiency it costs about $372-$1,270 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $497 in Phoenix and $1,090 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.

Is the ECO AC EHH-O18KBA the same as the Willis PUHW18KCH23S2-O?

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 ECO AC EHH-O18KBA?

ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses EHH-W18KBA.

What refrigerant does the ECO AC EHH-O18KBA 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.

A good fit if…

Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 13,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.

Think twice if…

You mainly need heat - its HSPF2 is below average for mini-splits.
You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.
